Hot water and microfibre cloth.

If it's quite dirty I use hot, soapy water and then do it again with plain water.

Karcher window vac. Best £80 I ever spent I can do the whole house in minutes, perfect windows every time with no effort whatsoever.

Spondex window cleaning cloth. Put the tiniest drop of washing up liquid in some warm water, wring out as much as possible then wipe over quickly and dry with kitchen towel quickly. Brilliant result and hardly any effort.

I buy a jug of car window washer fluid. Fill the sink with hot water and add in about 1/4 cup (a glug) of the fluid. Wipe the windows with a well rung out microfibre cloth.

hot soapy water on a wool pad, followed by a karcher window vac to get rid of it. Perfect every time - whole house done in half an hour.

These cloths are excellent www.lakeland.co.uk/23593/Clean-%26-Gleam-Glass-Window-Cleaning-%26-Polishing-Cloth and I use with any cheap window spray

Two microfibre cloths: wipe on, wipe off. Any spray that includes vinegar.

I wipe the frames down first, as parts of our house get damp very easily and mould can start to develop. Wipes if ok, otherwise bleach.

Ecover window cleaner and old school polo shirts cut into cloths

Before I got the window vac I used to finish with scrunched up newspaper, great finish but the vac is quicker.
