Cleaning Windows

[Mups]

Who is the window cleaning champion 2026 here?   'Cos   I need some advice please.   

No matter what I use, and how wonderful they look,  as soon as the sun comes out I see all the smears.
It drives me nuts.

I can't get on with supermarket products I used to buy,  so for a while now I have been using the white vinegar in water with a bit of liquid soap,  all mixed in a sprayer.

I have tried polishing them with a soft cloth,  and newspaper  - and still smears!!

I recommend squinting. Preferably in the opposite direction to the offending windows.

Mups... You look too closely sweetheart..  
I clean mine with Windolene spray ( added vinegar)..  Do I get smears.. Yes I do.. 
  I rub them over again.. Until they are good enough..

[muddy]

I never clean mine .

[klondike]

Solves the streaks for sure.

I might try a bit more today,  I'll see how I feel.    It perhaps wasn't a good idea to do them when the warm sun was on the glass I wonder?
This dodgy shoulder/arm  doesn't help either.
Good job I live in a bungalow as I wouldn't attempt any upstairs windows!

I never clean mine .

Neither do I        When I do attempt to clean them I use a scrim.

I use clean water and a big sponge, and dry them off with a microfibre cloth.


About once every four years

I think I should have done that too, Ashy.

I don't think I wet them enough with just my fine spray, and the sun on the window was drying it too quick.

I don't clean windows that's something Dunc does, but at my own place I never cleaned windows when the sun was out.

I think you're probably right.   
I will give it another try when its a dull day.
