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. 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.

So if you want an environmentally friendly window cleaning method that avoids chemical sprays (but don’t want to use vinegar), then I would choose the Spontex cloth. Apart from the cloths, do you need any other tools to clean windows?

However, vinegar does not smell all that great so an alternative is to use lemon juice. Lemons contain citric acid (which is present in a lot of branded household cleaners) which is an effective cleaner. To prepare a lemon solution, mix 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice with around 1 litre of water and again pour into a used and clean spray bottle and spare containers. 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). Window cleaning cloths comparison

I've been using the pink one for years, nothing beats it. I can't remember how the conversation of cleaning windows came about but I recommended it recently to a young lass who cold-called trying to get me to change my telephone / broadband Superdrug adds new 'VIP Rewards' offers to its existing loyalty scheme – here's what you need to know 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. 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.
