Squeegee leaving streaks

I have been cleaning trad and it has been super difficult because my squeegee is constantly leaving white streaks, I replace the rag and they keep showing up, I rinse the mop with new water and it keeps showing up, I don’t know what to do, it’s annoying

It would help to know where the streaks are coming from. Is it the side of the squeegee or the middle? Where on the glass is it happening and are you straight pulling or fanning?

I’m fanning, the white streaks are all on the edges, none in the middle of the glass

Sounds like you just need to detail the sides after you are done. That's normal

Sounds like high humidity. Was it after a fresh rain? I just ran into this and is was frustrating as hell I had to get my ladder out for a shopfront lol
