ME Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Mrs ME is being driven made by the sun coming in her dirty windows and wants to find something quick and easy to get them sparkling. When I had my car valeting company I used to have a supply of Autoglym glass cleaner which was great, but alas it has been years now and I don't have any more. Can anyone recommend a commercial product or even a simple recipe for cleaning the inside of the windows. We are talking dust from the log burner, kids fingerprints and the residue left by the dogs nose! Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 "Bohle spray glass cleaner" it's what professional glaziers use. I get it from the glass and mirror wholesalers up the road from work - the Mrs swears by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byjovecarruthers Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Spread a bit of jam on it and let the local window licker loose. It'll keep em occupied for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huffhuff Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Wait for the postman to push the mail through the letterbox too hard, have a few words with him (preferably with a running clothesline) and return to the house picking up a rock on the way. Proceed to smash your windows up safe in the knowledge that it won't be raining for a few months. No need to clean. On a serious note, the vinegar and newspaper/kitchen roll works well...

Muddy Funker Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I used to use this when I was a window cleaner.

Chris Bb Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Get really, really annoyed about something then KICK THEM ALL OUT! You do have a spare (clean) set in the basement, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just plain diluted washing up liquid,a mop and squeegy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 White vinegar and a cloth. Merr car polish gets glass nice and shiney, and makes any water/rain bead straight off so no water marks are left behind either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I hear some guy from Burnley does a good job on interior furnishings. May be worth asking about windows My Mrs uses window spray, leave it a while and clean off with one of those things similar to a car window wiper (whats the name) then dries the sill/bottom of window with polyroll. That wat she suggests it leaves no smears or lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 i bought a karcher window cleaner £40 TBH it is the best thing since sliced bread. First wash windows with fairy liquid and water, like window cleaners use, then get the karcher on it! Amazing results! It is now a joy to do the windows instead of a chore. google karcher and watch the vids. buy one you wont regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Agree with Karcher window cleaner. Saw my mate using it the other day, sponge window with soapy water, Karcher over it, jobs a good'n. I'm investing in one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I have a cleaning business, we use a SMALL amount of detergent in a squeezy bottle of water, we use unger liquid which you can get from homebase but washing up liquid is just as good. just make sure its weak. Then an old tea towel or old cotton tee shirt to dry it off. Turn it over and buff lightly We use microfibre if you want to get posh. The stuff you buy from the supermarket usually contains surfacents (polish to you) which leave a waxy residue so best avoided.

Billy - Thinking of getting myself one, when using it do you have to do the squeegee action ie- keep it moving to avoid lines, if you know what i mean :unsure: On the outside windows i've got the hang of the squeegee but a bit messy indoors, so hoping this thing's worth it.

Treat it just like the squeegee both in and out - great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
