No I don't mean by pulling the curtains so she can't nose in thro the window! Mine (the outsides) are a bit of a state and every time MIL visits I get a comment from her!

Window cleaner does the front ones but we have no rear acccess and I never seem to be in when he calls! Have put off doing the rear ones long enough but now need some top tips to get them sparkling and smudge free clean! Any products or techniques you can recommend????

try sticking somepicturesque views tell her you have moved and if she still yabbers about the windows invite your mate Jack around to see her

I find soapy water the best with a dash of vinegar.

Nice links, SM, lol!

Why do you care?
I wouldn't be making a special effort for someone who can see 'dirt' on glass!!! The weather will ruin them as soon as you get them sparkling anyway!

Flatter her by telling her you are incapable of making yours as clean as hers... then hand her the necessary equipment.

Very funny pic SM! Its not that I really care re MIL views - honest, but the sun shined on the windows today and even I thought the time had come to clean them - I've started to think that the garden really does look permanantly in soft focus!
