How to Clean Windows Naturally (and Get a Streak-Free Shine)

by Caroline Jones May 21, 2025

There’s something incredibly satisfying about clean, sparkling windows—especially when the sun shines through. But achieving streak-free glass without harsh chemicals can feel tricky.

That’s where MadeKind’s natural cleaning products come in.
Our surface sprays are plant-based, refillable, and tough on grime—without the toxins.

At MadeKind, we believe in safe, effective alternatives that are kind to your health and the planet. So here’s our tried-and-tested, natural window-cleaning method, using MadeKind Dish Wash and Best Selling Multi Surface Spray.

Why Avoid Conventional Window Sprays?

Many commercial glass cleaners contain:

Ammonia, which can irritate lungs and skin
Artificial fragrance, often made from undisclosed chemicals
Non-recyclable packaging, adding to household waste

Instead, we recommend using MadeKind natural products that clean just as well—without compromising your air quality or health.

What You’ll Need

To clean your windows naturally, gather:

1 bucket of hot soapy water, using MadeKind Dish Wash
1 x bottle of MadeKind Multi Surface Spray
A MadeKind cotton cloth
A dry, clean tea towel for buffing
(Optional) Old newspaper for a final polish

Step-by-Step: Natural Window Cleaning

1. Dust First

Use a dry cloth to wipe away cobwebs, dust, or dirt from the frame and sill before you spray.
This stops you from making more mess once you start cleaning the glass.

2. Spray with MadeKind Multi Surface Cleaner

Generously spritz the Multi Surface Cleaner over the window pane.
Let it sit for 30 seconds to lift dirt and grease.

3. Wipe with a Cloth

Wipe in an S-pattern, not circles. This reduces streaks and ensures even coverage.

4. Buff for a Streak-Free Finish

Use a clean, dry tea towel or newspaper to polish the window.
This removes any remaining moisture and brings out the shine.

Tips for Best Results

Don’t clean windows in direct sunlight – it causes streaks as the cleaner dries too quickly.
Use MadeKind Bathroom Cleaner if you live in a hard water area, to avoid water marks.
Clean frames and sills with warm soapy water with MadeKind Dish Wash before tackling the glass.
For very greasy or sticky spots, add a drop of MadeKind natural washing-up liquid to your spray bottle.
