As mentioned earlier we just use a normal dry multi-purpose kitchen cloth to clean the windows. Alternatively you could use something like a old T-shirt but you would have to be careful that it doesn’t leave lint all over your nice clean windows. I’ve walked my feet off searching for the original pink cream windolene in the shops. Nothing beats it. The sprays leave smears. Why stop making a product loved by so many? PLEASE NOTE: This will (if left) dry to an opaque finish similar to the original Windolene product so it can be used to cover a window.

Credit Card & Loans Eligibility Calculator There are 2 (3 if you include “elbow grease”) basic items you need to clean windows – some cleaning solution (this could be a spray of even water) and something to wipe the windows. At the moment we’re simply using Mr.Muscle Window & Glass spray with some of those all purpose (dry) kitchen cloths. This seems to work fine. Apparently it also contains vinegar for “effective cleaning” (more on that later). 1. Window cleaning solution Looking around the interweb, a great many people lament the loss of their favourite window cleaner, it was good, really good provided you didn’t let it dry on the window, then it set like paint. I remember my mum using a speedy “wax on, wax off” approach to make sure she got it all off before it dried. Now I have heard rumours whispered in dark corners that it is going to be making a return in 2016, If this is true, a great many people will be very happy. When I worked at a butchers, we cleaned the glass windows with chalk and that was pretty good as well. Perhaps chalk is the magic ingredient in Windolene? Only slightly abrasive.Another option for a cleaning solution is to make it yourself. So what makes the best homemade window cleaner? The most popular method is using vinegar. Vinegar is generally regarded as good cleaner due to its high acidity that breaks down dirt build-up. To make the “solution” yourself is very easy: simply mix 1 tablespoons of white vinegar (not malt vinegar) with about 2 litres of water, and dispense into a used spray bottle (make sure you wash out the bottle first). You’ll also need some other storage container as most spray bottles are only 500-750ml in size. The Genes Reunited community is made up of millions of people with similar interests.

Although we use a local window cleaner for cleaning the external windows, the inside window cleaning task is down to my wife and I. In fact, now that I’m spending more time working from home I think I should actually make more of an effort to clean the outside windows as well! So, in this article I take a look at how to get those perfectly clean windows. I assume it contains fine abrasive, which polishes the glass. If so, why does Cif and similar cream cleaners not work as well?Until that joyous day arrives, our friends at Tableau Products have just released something eerily familiar. Well I cant get it locally but have found Tescos own brand window cleaner is good especially if you use one of the micro window cleaner fabric sheets to clean it off.

A squeegee is also a handy window cleaning tool but is normally only used for cleaning outside windows. The squeegee is used to wipe away the cleaning solution and generally leaves a good streak free finish. Just remember to keep the rubber blade clean during wiping and you’ll probably need to replace the blade/squeegee if it becomes worn or damaged to get the best results (frequency depends on how often you use). I vaguely remember my grandparents also insisting on using old newspaper to clean windows rather than cloths. This sort of makes sense as they always had some ready at hand, they are cheaper than buying cloths and are recyclable. I was going to give newspaper a test but amazingly could not find any newspaper in the house (sign of the times I guess).
