I can't clean glass, how to get sparkly?

Beautiful cold sunny day is highlighting all the smears on my telly, fridge, cooker and I've got lovely glass doors and they look awful, partly fingers prints and dogs noses but help me out pre Xmas (preferably cruelty free products and I don't like vinegar smell or buy newspapers)

The vinegar smell didn’t last, use kitchen roll rather than newspaper. Vinegar really is the best

If you buy a chamois leather cloth (Amazon or halfords do them, amongst others) with just warm water your glass will sparkle.

Buy quality microfiber cloths and wash them using no fabric softener and use several when dry to buff the glass. Personally I don't use products just mildly soapy water and then lots of dry cloths.

Wash with a solution of hot water/washing up liquid and a microfibre cloth, squeegee then polish with dry microfibre and glass cleaner. Most of the time I just do the first bit.

Glass cleaner spray and a microfibre cloth or soft duster. No water. Spray directly on glass and buff in circles until it's dry. If you've got a lot of very greasy or sticky marks you might have to first wipe those with warm soapy water, then dry and then do the glass cleaner/soft cloth part.

For more delicate things like screens put the spray onto the cloth rather than spraying directly.

A product with ammonia will get your glass sparkling. The only branded cleaning product I use is Ajax Cristal spray which is good for gloss cabinets, too.

Amazing! Will check ideas out and have cleaner glass for Xmas. Thank you

For the doors and window

Hot soapy water with washing up liquid

A strong solution of black tea in a spray bottle is how I clean windows and mirrors.
