"Soapy water and blade or squeegee, not hot water as if glass is cold the hot water could cause glass to fracture"

"Both methods have their advantages. Conventional cleaning with soapy water and a squeegee effectively removes dirt and leaves a streak-free finish. Hot water with a brush attachment can provide a deeper clean by loosening grime and sanitizing the surface. Alternatively, using a professional-grade window cleaning solution with a microfiber cloth can achieve excellent results, combining ease of use with thorough cleaning."

"Neither really. Purified water is best. When you use detergent or normal tap water, this leaves soap and mineral residue behind on the glass. Over time, this residue is a dirt magnet. Purified water has the minerals removed, and the soft brush on an extendable pole agitates dirt then the pure water washes it away. It doesn't matter if the water is hot or cold. The purified water then dries to a crystal clear finish and leaves no trace behind, so it repels dirt and even rain water runs straight off. This way, your windows stay cleaner for longer between cleans. Hope this helps!"
