For years and years, we battled trying to get the exterior of our windows clean. They just never looked crystal clear. A filmy residue and often chalky streaks would remain once the windows dried. We tried a variety of window cleaners from homemade to store bought concoctions, as well as using newspaper instead of paper towels with not much success.
They shared a simple recipe for what they have found to work. They swore by it. We had already tried just using a simple combination of vinegar and water, but they learned a trick from a commercial window cleaner: add a little dish detergent to the vinegar/water mixture. Really? That simple? It was new to us, and it sounded much too easy.
So we tried it (or should I say Randy tried it) right away. Randy set out just to test a few windows and the next thing I knew he had worked all the way around the house, and was already working on some of the upstairs windows as well. There was an immediate difference, and so much easier than what we had tried in the past.
This definitely works for outside windows, where you can safely rinse with water. I have yet to try it indoors, but if you do, make sure you can rinse with plenty of water. Perhaps one spray bottle of solution, and a separate spray bottle of clean water?
I have seen formulas like this one & the one I use is 1 cup distilled water, 1/4 cup white vinegar & 2-3 drops dishwashing liquid. I use it on mirrors & glass, inside & out. I do use it on car windows but am careful when I spray. It also makes a great stainless steel cleaner, which I use on my bathroom & kitchen fixtures. It keeps them sparkling new!
With hard water you want to make sure to hand dry the windows instead of letting it air dry, the minerals in the water residue will show up. If you use the commercial windes spray, this is nothing to worry about.
We tell people all the time that they do not need to purchase the most expensive and supposedly industry leading window cleaner out there on the market. All you need to properly and effectively clean your windows is probably already under your kitchen sink! Vinegar, water, dish soap, DONE. Windows will look squeaky clean
Wow. This is FABULOUS. We live in an upper duplex with combination windows. We remove all the windows, wash them with this solution in the bath tub, rinse with our shower head, then dry with (those great Costco) microfiber towels. Not a streak anywhere! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I used the window cleaner mix; and used a squeegee. However, I totally did not see until re reading the directions, that I should have rinsed the windows. I only did the outside windows. Today I noticed they all looked so nice and clean. However, do I still need to rinse them? Thanks! ?
Second, Wise registry cleaner gets more suspicious with all the pups and weird entries in my registry. When I reinstalled it I told MWB to ignore it this time also. But unlike in the past - it creates more and more crap for no apparent reason in my registry. It worked fine for 2 days and then - wham - MWB finds 89 entries from Wise Registry Cleaner - complete with PUPS and all kinds of other things. To me - this is a flag something is going on with this program that is not on the up and up.
