Lidl again! Window Cleaner this time

I have today tried Lidl own brand, W5, window and glass cleaner.

Excellent results, no smears, nice smell and less than £1.50 (could actually be less than £1, can't remember) for a litre.

Might take me the best part of a long time to use it up!

Many a time have I been disheartened at seeing what appeared to be beautifully clean windows that suddenly become smeary when the sun is shining through them at a certain angle.

I apply warm water with a very small squirt of washing up liquid, and then use one of those "hoover-type" window-cleaning contraptions to suck up the water, followed by a rub over with what I think is called "ticking" cloth. This seems to work better than any other method I've used.

Is that the stuff that looks like sacking, Eloethan? My MIL called it scrim I think.
