Ah! Cleaning the inside of car windows properly is a trick many people get wrong—streaks, fog, and residue often remain. Here’s the correct expert-backed way to do it:
🚗 How to Clean the Inside of Car Windows the Right Way
What You’ll Need
- Microfiber cloths (at least 2)
- Glass cleaner (ammonia-free is best for tinted windows)
- Distilled water (optional)
- Spray bottle
Step-by-Step Method
- Prepare the Surface
- Remove dust or debris with a dry microfiber cloth.
- Dirt can scratch glass if wiped directly with liquid.
- Use the Right Cleaner
- Spray cleaner on the cloth, not directly on the glass.
- Direct spraying can drip onto the dashboard or electronics.
- Wipe in Circular Motions
- Use a microfiber cloth in small circular motions.
- Focus on corners and edges where film and smoke residue accumulate.
- Flip and Dry
- Use a second clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff and remove streaks.
- Optional: spray a 1:1 mixture of distilled water and vinegar for stubborn residue.
- Final Check
- Look from different angles (driver’s eye level) to ensure no streaks remain.
- Repeat lightly if necessary.
Pro Tips
- Avoid paper towels → they leave lint and streaks
- Do windows last → prevents cleaner from dripping on already-cleaned surfaces
- Tinted windows? Use ammonia-free cleaners only to avoid damage
- Quick trick for foggy interiors: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth before driving
✅ Bottom line:
Cleaning inside car windows isn’t just about spraying and wiping. The key is cloth quality, correct cleaner, and a careful technique—that’s what makes them truly clear and streak-free.
If you want, I can also give you a DIY natural cleaner hack that removes smoke, grease, and streaks from car windows using ingredients you already have at home. It’s way better than store-bought sprays.
