How to get streak-free glass with a window vacuum

[@andrewgrant9782]

Many thanks. My Karcher had been gathering dust for several years after no longer being needed for condensation removal but your video prompted me to dig it out and try windows cleaning, (it still had some charge). I was amazed how easy it was to get wonderfully clean, streak free windows. The two microfibre cloth technique works a treat. (My vac ran out of juice half way thru and there was a frantic, but fruitful, search for the charger).

Great to hear!

That’s a very clever video I did have a window Vac broke and I took it back Yesterday I got the new generation they have seem to improve the design it’s very good but does leave streaks I’ve tried your method now brilliant we use the micro fibre cloths at work excellent video thank you

So glad you found this helpful!

[@amykittin]

Just got one last week and wondered about the streaks! Thanks!

[@jabbathehut3275]

I've got this machine and think it's great. Thank you for the tips about taking it to bits to clean. Really useful. Thank you.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

you prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother these days =)

[@harlanmaverick3296]

@Flynn Enoch yup, been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@KretinzUnited]

Bought one, binned it after a couple of tries and now back to old fashion cleaning, no more streaking. Solved.

[@pauljohnsonevamai]

Followed your instructions to the letter and STILL left with horrible streaks. You're great by the way ❤️

[@thehonestchannel]

Oh no! Have you checked and cleaned between your blades? One hair stuck in between can leave streaks. Just run your finger between them to check. And thanks for watching!!

The time tested method of just spraying the window down with window cleaner and then drying it/polishing with balled up newspapers seems quicker and simpler still :s I just can't seem to get the hang of this device, and it's hard to reach the bottom of my window because of how bulky the thing is. Is it even okay to turn it upside down?

[@thehonestchannel]

Newspapers do a great job but can be a bit messy. If you tip the Karcher upside down the water tips out of the container and the device shuts off. I find just moving it too to bottom in straight lines and then a quick wipe down does a great job on windows - but maybe not a match for newspapers!

Excellent and not verbose ! 👍

[@rubberdc]

One thing I find with my Karcher window vac is , that I HAVE to wipe up around the sides and base and top of the window frame, to lift up all the last bits of water etc , that's my only gripe with it .I can do 16 windows in 10 minutes .

[@thehonestchannel]

Yes, there is a little wiping if you want to get it absolutely perfect but, like you, I still find it so quick.

[@jolitasestoke5184]

Thank you for this video. I am about to buy one of those cleaners. What model are you using? I've read some reviews about the new models, and people were a bit disappointed, saying that older models worked better.

[@thehonestchannel]

Jolita Sestoke My model is an older version - well over 5 years now and still going. If I bought another I would go with the basic WV1 vac.

[@jolitasestoke5184]

@@thehonestchannel Thanks for the reply and advice, will try to get that older model.

Very helpful! This will be great for dog noses 😂

Dogs window art I call that!! The Karcher is fantastic for inside car windows, gets rid of their artwork simply!

[@ArashGhazanfari]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@thehonestchannel]

You’re most welcome!

[@Vana1970]

I notice you no longer use the cleaning head that comes with the Karcher?

[@thehonestchannel]

The one attached to the spray? You could still use that and get a decent result as long as you wipe off the streaks in the downward direction with a cloth afterwards. I prefer to use soap and water now though : )

[@HYROX-HUB]

Thank you very helpful video.

[@thehonestchannel]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@jantate923]

I love mine and don’t find any streaks

[@matternoddy]

How often should the battery be recharge, IE after every use regardless of time used or keep using until battery runs down.

[@thehonestchannel]

You can do either but I tend to recharge mine around once a week. I still use that same model in my bathroom every morning!

[@Adeline9418]

Wish I could afford one.😢

[@fruitcake4t]

it should come with a microfibre cloth

[@thehonestchannel]

True!

you know there are pros that are laughing right now

You mean you’re laughing? What is it that you found so funny? And what do you suggest instead?

[@willwestwood9328]

they leak water into the inner electrical circuits then go faulty ....bad design

[@thehonestchannel]

I’ve used the same Karcher vacuum daily in my bathroom for well over 5 years now with no problems. I find it indestructible provided you clean it out every now and then.

I don’t want to have to buy a manchine to clean my windows. Please try again.
