    windex, lots of rags and heaps of arm power.

    my DH and other friends swear by cleaning windows with newspaper and windex.

    I should be doing mine too, but too many windows

    Very hot soapy water if they are reallllly dirty, very hot water with vinegar if it's just normal kind of dirt & smearing. The trick is to have the water HOT, also if you can get one of those glass things which scrapes the water off (I can't think what they are called ) I am a big fan of vinegar for most cleaning stuff

    Thanks for the replies - I tried windex (and always use newspaper with it) but it didn't seem to clean them... might give the vinegar and hot water a go, thanks jasp!

    Yep, I find windex ok if it's just a couple of spots but I always leave mine too long

    Newspaper is not the best thing these days as the print has changed. Years ago the ink was great for cleaning windows, now it can make them streaky.

    I cleaned mine yesterday. I used hot soapy water because they were feral then used a squeegy (SP?) to get it off but it left streaks so I went over them with my microfibre window cloth and htey are now crystal clear.

    I clean the inside windows and mirrors with vinegar and newspaper.
