Don't Wash in the Sun: Don't wash windows in direct sunlight because the sun can overheat glass and cause streaking.

Use a Squeegee for best results: It's not 100% necessary to have on hand for cleaning day but it does make managing streaks much easier.

Clean Scrubber: Make sure your scrubber/wash rag and squeegee are clean. It doesn't make much sense to clean with dirty tools! Don't forget to wipe your squeegee between strokes. You don't want to leave dirt behind. Also, a wet blade will make streak marks more likely.
