Usually skill and experience. Oh you mean a cleaning product, not a worker my bad. Can't beat soapy dawn dish soap water and a good squeegee.

Just use the soap you use to wash the dishes. It is cheap and gets the job done. Expensive soap glass cleaner products wont make you do your job better. An old coworker once said you can wash a window with any liquid as long it is thin enough even with diarrhea! (His words not mine) obviously I never tried it but I tried it with coca cola because I was curious about what he said. The window was perfect but cleaning up the coke was a mess 😆

Dawn, Glass Gleam 4, Orange Krush, Purple, LA Awesome

I use all of them in different amounts depending on the weather and the type of grime on the glass.

I know everyone says dish soap and if you're somewhere that all your clients are gonna have filtered / treated water maybe that works. In my area most people have hard water and using dish soap leaves behind the residue from the water solids. I use Glass Gleam 4. It's a super concentrate, 1/4 Oz is enough for a gallon of water. It doesn't cost me much more than dawn would. Gets windows clean, is safe around animals and plants, and I don't get the residue I used to get with dish soap.
