    Tips for cleaning windows without streaks!

    My DH did a few, then used windex after he used the squidgy thing. Now I can see marks though they are better than before! I'm going to try another dirty window, any tips? What do you put in the water? Thanks

    Or vinegar.

    The easiest thing ever - go to the supermarket and find microfibre glass cloths - these things are seriously amazing (and cheap maybe $5 max for a pack of 3).
    You don't need any cleaning products of ANY kind with it other than water. You use one damp, not too wet one to wipe over and get any marks off, and a dry one to buff. Honestly it sounds like it wouldn't work, I didn't think it would, but it does, it's amazing!!

    Me too - and to polish the sink, great for mirrors, I use them to everything too and you just chuck in the washing machine and they're ready for next time. Seriously girls if you haven't heard of these before, they are amazing!

    I'm another one that uses vinegar/water mix and newspaper. I always use gloves though as the newspaper gets black everywhere on your hands otherwise.

    I do use glass cloths just never thought to use them on windows duh! I will give that a try after using the squidgy to get all the dirt off them as I'm doing the outside. I have to buy more of those glass cloths!
