Window Soap

Fill your bucket with a professional window soap designed specifically for windows. You’ll see the clear and brilliant difference!

Why Choose Professional Window Soap

Professional window cleaning soaps are formulated differently than general-purpose cleaners or household dish soap. They are designed to work with squeegees and washers to lift dirt, grease, and grime from glass without leaving behind residue, film, or streaks. Pro-grade soaps are often highly concentrated, meaning you use less product per gallon of water and get better glide for your squeegee.

Because they are engineered for glass cleaning, these soaps help reduce friction and make it easier to move your tools across surfaces, which speeds up your workflow and improves results. The right window soap also helps your rubber and washers last longer because it minimizes buildup that can cause drag or streaking.

Types of Window Soap and Use Cases

Detroit Sponge carries a variety of professional window cleaning solutions that work in different conditions and for different preferences.

• Concentrated liquid soaps like Dazzle-100 are designed to cut through film and grime without leaving streaks, even in hard water areas. They mix well in buckets or sprayers.
  
  
• All-purpose glass cleaners like Unger EasyGlide make it easy to clean both indoor and outdoor glass with one versatile product.
  
  
• Specialty powders such as Sorbo Window Cleaning Powder dissolve rapidly and are perfect for traditional bucket mixes.
  
  
• Portable options like tablet formulas (e.g., Unger The Pill) let you mix on the go without carrying full bottles.
  
  

Some professionals prefer products that stay wetter longer, especially on hot or windy days, because this gives the squeegee more time to cut water without drying prematurely. Others favor soaps that include water softeners or enhanced detergents for heavy-duty jobs.

Tips for Best Results

• Mix window soap according to the product instructions. Highly concentrated soaps often require just a small amount per gallon of water.
  
  
• Use a separate rinse bucket where possible to reduce soap residue on glass.
  
  
• Apply soap evenly with a washer or scrubber before pulling with your squeegee.
  
  
• Adjust your mix during extreme weather (hot, windy, or cold conditions) to slow or speed drying as needed.
  
  

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Soap

What’s the difference between window soap and household cleaners?
Professional window soap is made specifically for glass cleaning, designed to work with squeegees and minimize streaks. Household cleaners (like dish soap or spray glass cleaners) may leave residue or not provide the proper glide for tools.

How concentrated should my window soap mix be?
Concentration varies by product. For example, Dazzle-100 is very concentrated, so only a little goes a long way. Always follow the manufacturer’s label for recommended mix ratios.

Can I use professional window soap in a spray bottle?
Yes. Many professional soaps mix well for both bucket use and spray bottles or dispensers. Adjust your dilution for the application method you choose.

Is professional window soap safe for tinted or coated glass?
Most professional soaps are safe for tinted or coated surfaces, but it’s always a good idea to check the product specifications and test on a small area if you are unsure.

Why does my window soap matter in hard water areas?
Soaps with water softeners help reduce spotting and film in hard water regions. Products like Glass Gleam 4 include polymeric softeners to improve performance under those conditions.

We carry professional window soap brands like Ettore, Unger, Sorbo, Moerman, Winsol, and Titan Laboratories.
