How do you clean your windows?

[Jason]

We have an empty block next to our house at the moment and it's blowing a lot of dust everywhere. This weekend it's time to clean the windows. It's never a fun job!

People have many different methods of cleaning windows, using various tools and cleaning products to achieve a spotless result.

With the best of intentions I recently got one of those new window vacuums to clean the windows but I haven't tried it yet. 

My previous regime has been two buckets and three cloths. Do most of the grunt work with the first cloth and bucket (which gets dirty quicky) then another once over with a clean one, then finally wipe off any excess moisture with a microfibre cloth to ensure a streak-free finish. I don't use any soap or detergent, and no squegees or newspaper.

Good old fashioned newspaper and windex - works every time!

Well it looks like I'm going to have to give newspaper a go when I clean my car this weekend.

I agree newspaper is the best way to go! Leaves no streaks!

Although i've never tried this myself, I've often heard mixing water and distilled vinegar is a good way to wash glass! Might be worth a go!

- Goodluck!

This is the window cleaning recipe I use, it is streak-free and like the other contributors I am a newspaper advocate!

Taking this a step further, how do you clean your bistro blinds?
Much harder to do than glass so if anyone has a stress free solution, I'd love to hear it.

I would use vinegar and hot water on cafe blinds @pursya. Have you tried that?

[pursya]

I haven't so I'll give that a go next time.
When they have been rolled up for a while they get very grubby.
Thanks.
