How do you get your windows to sparkle?

[Cherrybaby]

Hello!

Does anyone have any good tips on how to clean windows, without using any specific window spray thingy?

vinegar and newspaper

serious;ly
wash the with hot soapy water and then wipe
then vinegar and polish off with newspaper

they will sparkle
mine dont as I haven't done it but yours will

Or even just windowcleaner but with newspaper - means you only have to do one step!

Can they sparkle?

Even easier - get a blue e-cloth from Lakeland. You then just squirt plain tap water on them from a plant sprayer and polish, and there are no streaks at all.

If they are very dirty I do them with a washing up sponge and washing up liquid and water in a dilute solution first, and give them a rinse before polishing with the e-cloth.

Vinegar! Won't that make the whole house smell like a chippy's???

A good window cleaner?

Since we stopped having a window cleaner about 5 years ago, I've never cleaned them. Slut or what??

I haven't cleaned mine for ages too...

I just use vinegar and water and newspaper.

It's annoying when you have lots of small panes though

White vinegar and newspaper

I use hot soapy water though and when they're dry i put Mer polish on them n then 'wax on wax off' lol
Windowlene is also good but not as good as mer

Doing it twice takes ages though and i only have to do that cos i don't do mine till they're really minging

I tried the newspaper thing a few weeks ago for the first time, and I was impressed, it really does work.

Mer polish.....makes note on shopping list

Well, I'm only doing it to impress the in-laws, as they have the faint idea that i'm a slob (it's true)

Same I tell my exIL that if they're that bothered maybe they aught to roll their sleeves up and get helping instead of moaning lol

Makes em go quiet

Pay a professional window cleaner.

Window cleaner for the outside but inside I put good old washing up liquid on a dish cloth, pop a bit of water on it then wash the window, squeegee off, then use microfibre cloth to mop up any drips down the sides.

I use to walk past all the professional window cleaners that did the huge shop windows on my way to work. They use the above but use a leather chamois instead of microfibre.

I can't do the vinegar thing as I can't stand the smell.

I use hot water, washing up liquid and an old tea towel. Dry with a J-cloth.

Must try the newspaper and vinegar method. How come the newspaper doesn't make the windows smeary?

blue e cloth
