What products are best for making house windows gleam ?

I’m so glad it’s not just me who gets rubbery streaks with a window vac.

For a previous house with a large kitchen roof-light we bought a brush on a pole like the professionals use, it worked well as there was soft water.

We still have soft water now, him indoors didn’t exactly clean the windows, more he smeared the grime all over and left dirt streaking down - he meant well.

For outside - a bucket of warm soapy water with a glug ofwhite vinegar, a car sponge and a good quality squeegee followed by a polish with paper. O and a lot of elbow grease.

Inside same formula of water, soap, and vinegar in a spray, wipe off and polish with a microfibre cloth (the one for glass).

Phew! Now I’ve done them inside and out I’m done for…

Time for a small (medicinal) tincture I think.

ECloth for me they are like magic.

Many of us get our newspaper digitally now, don't think my ipad is going to help with the windows!

Those of us who use public transport get the bonus of a free Metro!

Disclaimer - other free newspapers are available.

Water as hot as you can bare it. A tiny squeeze of washing up liquid if they are really dirty. Polish off with another microfiber cloth soaked in v hot water and squeezed almost dry.

My Window Cleaner does outside windows & I do inside. My Pop always used warm water & newspaper & dried with newspaper. I substituted kitchen roll for newspaper when we stopped buying newspapers. Proved just as good.

I do use the old newspaper trick .
Not vinegar though .
Hot water and washing up liquid followed by dry and polish with newspaper.
Done this for years. It beats anything else I have ever tried.
Give it a go !

I’d recommend a Kartcher window vac . We have large windows and my daughter uses one to bring up the windows sparkling clean in no time at all .

ajswan I bet you're mad at DH for washing widows in soap and water.

That typo really made me laugh.

Another vote for hg and those cloths that look.like fish scales.

I use a product called Nilglass and a window vac I got from Kleeneze. They do the trick. Spray on, vac off.

Well! For absolute years I've used a silver cleaning cloth by minky I got at Morrisons ! Smear free no product .just spray windows with water then clean off with these cloths . honestly they're like magic cloths!!!

Ps by silver I mean they' contain silver as an aid to cleaning ,( not duraglit?)

Use a bucket of hot water with a touch of washing up liquid, using a clean old cloth wash windows, use a Karcher window cleaner to take it off. Amazing. Karcher is the only investment about £18-25 but cloths I use are old t shirts being recycled, and we all have washing up lqd and water
