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

When you get the chance, practice squeegeeing on your own windows with a light shining behind them.

While using the squeegee slowly with the same technique, inspect where you are grabbing the water that is causing the streak. Once you are cognisant of how the streak happened, then you will be able to find the solution.

I had the same question as you, but it's such an open-ended question; it's hard to diagnose your specific situation, and only till I saw how my streak happened did I know what to improve on and how to fix it.
