Need to apply more solution to the glass, fear of applying too much liquid because of drips is usually what causes
most problems with interior cleans, just catch the liquid with your mop while squeegeeing it off.
I prefer Unger soft on interior cleans.

I use Fairy Liquid (the antibacterial one) in cold water.

Thoroughly wet the window and catch the drips on the mop or put a towel down.

Perfect results every time.

Most will disagree with me but always use hard rubber. Soft leaves smears. Iv tried every type of soft and found in direct sunlight it looks crap.
Unger hard is the best.
Also lots of solution as others have said, preferably fairy as it gives by far the best slip.

if its just one window just spray with pure and squeegee off , alternatively invest in a karcher window vac, the bloke on the tele says it doesn't leave smears  ;D

Trying to blade off  pure on it's own is no good as has no slip.  Just get the karcher out and stop messing about.  ;D
