Glass cleaning spray/product which doesn’t smear

Can anyone recommend something to clean my glass doors, which doesn’t smear? I have tried loads of them but I wonder if I am missing a product. The sun on them shows up the smears.

The best, quickest and easiest solution I’ve found is to use a good glass cleaner such as method (I use at home) or windowlene (I use at work) and paper towels to wipe it off. Using clean ones for each panel. Microfibres cloths and cotton cloths just smear badly right from the start.
if you do want to be more eco friendly - water with plenty of white vinegar and sheets of newspaper.

please note- you do need to have removed the muck from the windows first (ie wash with a soapy water cloths and rinse with clean fresh water and cloth, if you are doing exterior panes or interior ones that have paint/crumbs/fluids/toothpaste etc stuck to them) Otherwise all you will do is dilute and spread the muck across the surface and will still get a smeary, dirty finish.

I clean a lot of windows, mirrors and shower screens every day. I don’t have the time for smears.

Warm soapy water followed by a dilute solution of vinegar sprayed on. Then squeegee off the excess. The vinegar will evaporate and not leave any residue

I use hot water and washing up liquid. Give them a good wash then buff up with a cloth. Saying that I do find minky cloths and kitchen roll leaves fluff, wipe that off with a old tea towel. Would be interested if anyone has any cloth recommendations.
