A little white wine vinegar in the water (cuts through the grease) and a chamois cloth gets rid of the smears - did my own that way only yesterday!

Hi Janet,
I use my steam cleaner, it doesn't leave any residue so the windows sparkle. Also use a microfibre cloth damp and paper towels to dry if i am in a rush and can't wait for the steamer to heat up.

Use white vinegar in warm water, it cuts the grease and leaves a lovely shine. A tea towel is good to remove any water left behind too :-)

Looks like White wine vinegar is popular then! will give this a try :)
I only use the tiniest drop of Fairy washing up liquid in very hot water then I rinse it off with clean hot water using a blade.
Works every time!

Hi Janet,
Here's a great tip
;-)) Caroline xxx
Old fasioned windowlene is good. Wipe on with one cloth in one direction only and then clean with another in the opposite direction. I find that works for me. Also NilGlass is a good clear one to try.
Lololol.....Caroline that is soooo funny!!!
Oh! I thought it was only ME that had problems with my windows! Phew!!
Hi Janet,
I use a little drop of detergent for too ! Works great !

i use washing liquid too and twoo microfibre clothes, 1 to wash one to dry, do the same with my mirrors too, if its good enough for the window cleaner its good enough for me lol
Hi Janet, Ive afraid I have to clean my windows myself and I use those windowlene sheets you can buy in the supermarket I find them brilliant I just rub them on the window and use a clean cotton cloth (tea towel)to clean it of. With love an dhugs Shirleyxxxxxx
I used windowleen sheets yesterday Shirley and the windows looked great until the sun came out......didn't realise I had to polish it off lol! x
Sorry hun, can't help you there!! Windows, bathrooms, toilets & oven are all hubbies tasks!! I'll ask him if he can recommend anything lol!!

my tip is to not do them at all :)
Ooo Sharon......where did you find a hubby like that!! x
I ignore my windows ... eeek! Actually, it's the truth. We've been in our home for about 9 months now and I've never washed the inside of the windows. Hubs uses they power washer on the outside and they come nicely clean. If I see a smudge I'll whisk it away with windex & paper towel.
Ah ha ha ha! Caroline's comment is awesome.
My 22 year old son does 'em.....if I make roly-poly 'n' custard for him :)Bribery....that's the way to go!
As and when I clean windows outside, I use ordinary malt vinegar in warm water to wash. I then use scrumpled newspaper to dry them and polish. My mum used this method.
A solution of washing up liquid with a splash of white vinegar, and the magic utensil - a rubber bladed squeegee! It wipes off water and yuck, but it does leave streaks, which I polish off with a scrap of old cotton towelling (actually, it was a nappy, but towelling sounds better!)
Good luck!

Autoglym - Fast Glass, generally used for cars but does a fab job on my windows!
I'll have to try some of these tips. I have nineteen windows in the conservatory alone to clean. I hate it and tend to just leave the blinds down in there a lot. Like you say, it's looks ok until the sun shines through. xx Jenny xx
Cleaning windows LOL no time for that pop to my blog something to make you sparkle Sharon.x
I noticed this post while doing the blog hop and just had to share my best item for cleaning your windows. You will be totally astonished at this Janet, just like I was. My darling MIL gave me a little package which contained an E CLOTH. You get two clothes, 1 for washing 1 for polishing. You use no detergents just plain old water! My windows have NEVER been this clean. You can get them at T-K Max and they are only £2.99, do try them Janet.
