I tend to use white vinegar and an old cloth to clean mine as it stops the smearing on the windows.what do you use?

I don't use white vinegar although I know that vinegar has many wonderful uses. I simply use the plain water and window cleaning tool, a pole, sponges attached at the front. It's very effective too.

I used to use a telescoptic pole thing as well to clean my windows up stairs as well as a few larger windows that i could not reach until i found that they looked good but then the sponge thing that i used on the pole was wearing rather thin,have been unable to get a new sponge for it as others do not fit and i have also tried to tie cloths on it with no success.

well in USA we have window cleaners, and I think they are amonia based to avoid streaking. Dry with clean paper.

I usually use windex or a mixture of water and vinegar with a newspaper. Plus I try to do them when the sun isn't shining it helps in controlling the streaks.

I have found a window cleaner that has vinegar in it and I use it to clean my windows. I first though wipe the dust of the windows and then spray the window cleaner and wipe with a clean rag.

We have the window cleaning detergent at home for those windows cleaning. And on top of that, we use newspaper as it seems to be able to lift those stain off the windows easily. Also with cloth, some times it leave traes of those thread coz of wear and tear. So, we prefer to use newspaper with the window cleaning detergent.

Hi Jugsjugs, I always clean my bedroom windows once a month, I want to keep everything clean in my bedroom especially with little kid with me all the time. I buy glass cleaner to clean the window glass, as for the mosquito nets, It can be taken out from the frame and I will wash with soap and water in the bathroom.Then will let them dry before fix it back. Another way to clean the window glass is using newspaper after wiping away the dust. Newspaper will made the window glass so clear and bright.

I would rather use vinegar like you do . . . less chemicals - and better for your home environment. I even have a spray bottle with vinegar and water all ready to go. But for some reason, I am too lazy to go get it - and I end up using good ol' Windex. I don't have time to do the windows much these days - so really I don't use anything - ha ha. I guess I should get off my myLot butt and get to the windows - hee hee.
