Gracegirl,
I owned a commercial window cleaning company here in VA for 20 years..Here is the "secret" to streak free window washing. Use 1 part ammonia to two parts water, scrub window down ( if it has hard water stains, use a soft 000 steel wool pad that you can get at any depot or paint store, making sure no soap is in it, just plain ,, it will not scratch I promise!) and then squeege! The squeege is the key. I know folks like newspaper, chamois, etc but a rubber squeege you can get at any lowes, etc works the very best and is the key to streak free. Whatever you do, no windex! If you look at the ingredients, it has a form of carnuba wax in it to give you the original "shine"that also turns into streaks! Good luck!
