While clean windows don't automatically increase home value, they make your home look more attractive from the outside, and since the exterior is the first thing a potential buyer will see, it can help make a good first impression that paints the rest of your home in a positive light. Educated homebuyers will see that your home is well cared for if they see clean window tracks and sparkling window glass, which can contribute to an overall positive opinion of your property. Clean windows give the impression that the rest of the home—including systems and appliances—is probably well-kept, too.

Professionals use high-pressure steam cleaners, brushes, and specialized cleaning solutions for effective results.

You should avoid abrasive materials when cleaning windows, including scrubbing pads that can scratch the glass and harsh chemical cleaners that have alcohol or ammonia in them, as these can damage window treatments and frame materials. It’s best to use a clean microfiber cloth to clean glass and old black and white newspapers to dry it without leaving streaks.

Getting a streak-free shine after cleaning your windows requires both the right cleaning solutions—which can either include warm water and dish soap or warm water and rubbing alcohol—and the right tools—namely, a squeegee and a microfiber cloth. To make your streak-free glass cleaner, combine one gallon of warm water with a few drops of dish soap, and mix. Apply with a sprayer or sponge, and then dry with a squeegee, microfiber cloth, or old black-and-white newspaper pages.
