How to clean windows

Dose anyone have good remedys for clean windows ie: water marks and fingerprints please

 

I wash them with warm water and vinegar then buff them up with news paper

 

I do the same as above, but, I've now swapped newspaper for a microfibre cloth (the newspaper is needed for the compost bin and soggy newspaper doesn't have quite the same effect

 

Thankyou all for the replys

What mix of warm water to vinegar, any newspaper or is there one that is better, i think there will be some good comments on this one

 

Snap lolimac - that is exactly my approach.

 

I bought one of those squeegy things the window cleaners use along with the mop thing for applying the soapy water.
It works a treat for the outside.
But does get a bit messy on the inside.

I've seen those Karcher whatsnames avertised but not sure they are worth a try.

I keep an old spray bottle of water/vinegar mix in the under sink cupboard: think it holds 500ml? To the water I just add a small cap of vinegar.

Non-glossy *free* newspaper; preferably without coloured advertising on it (even scrunched up some of the ink can lift which is why I switched to a microfibre cloth. In these days of double glazing the frames can get a tad inky). There are plenty of free weekend newspapers in the foyer of supermarkets at weekends; why buy any?

 

I will ask the window cleaner for you he is due out Friday

In a bucket i put a decent slug of vinegar........any of the papers will do.....that's all they're fit for anyhow (had a job trying to keep that one clean)

 

Thank you Pete, put they cost to much

Had a go with the vinegar it worked ok but it wasn't over clean, so i had a go with vinegar and methylated spirits, an hour of hard rubbing they are as good as new, I think there is something stubborn on the glass which needed something to cut into the crime, yes I do clean the windows regularly but it's been getting worse, one hour on one window, another 8 to go, looks like a week's work ahead of me

 

I tell you what else is good....Jaguar windscreen polish.....but i only use that when it's free

 

For Windows 7 i'd use Ccleaner and AVG followed by a good defrag

 

I use organic live cider vinegar (ie the one with the bacteria still in it) mixed with water for screen wash in my car. Yes it stinks for a few seconds when I use my screen washers, but it makes short work of the film of grease that inevitably builds up on the windscreen at this time of year, and it doesn't freeze to quickly either.

There's nowt like a good defrag, but not necessary on Windows 7. The necessity to defrag was because of a limitation of the FAT and FAT32 filesystems. NTFS makes much better use of the disk space and is also better at recovering it, so not usually necessary to defrag.
