I have been using microcloths for this job for ages and passed it on to everyone I know.It is amazingly easy for windows etc.Never tried ecloths though.

Yes I also use microfibre cloths with and without water for most of my cleaning - and the very cheapest kind. It works really well, can an e-cloth still improve on this? Does anyone know how exactly they are different?

I have ordered some e cloths as I have had my micro cloths for a very long time. My dh can have the old ones for cleaning his bike. I notice that the e cloths need to be washed very very hot after the initial washes at 60 and with very little soap powder. I`ll do them in a pan as I have been washing at 30 for two weeks and that is proving very successful

I use a bowl of hot water with a tablespoon of washing up liquid. I wash the windows with a cloth and I then polish with an old 'flat' tea towel.

Quick and streak free.

Just one Q:-Are e-cloths better than oldfashioned smelly Windowlene? - ('Cos all the spray-in-a-bottle smear never was, for me).

If they are, then I will tell my man as windows are now his job.

Tho' I have to tell him every single time that the windows are dirty. Why can he not see it for himself??

It's a man thing. You just have to accept it, I'm afraid. My DH also does stuff when I ask, bless him, but never notices himself. It's just a fact of life.

Wow! Thanks for this.

I was just about to start cleaning my windows (but decided to browse through here for a while first - yes, I KNOW I'm putting it off!)

I think I might pop into B&Q later today to see if they've got any e-cloths.

oh they`re very very good. My cloths came today and I have whizzed around the shower and cloakroom so far. Excellent stuff. I have just tidied my kitchen drawer and thrown out some old cloths (now for bike cleaning duty) and the e cloths take pride of place. I might get some more so that I can have one a day in the kitchen and wash in a batch

I've always had trouble getting my windows as clean as I'd like them.

No matter what I try, there always seems to be smears left. Has anyone conquered the problem?

What works for me all be it on car windows is wash said windows, then go over with damp shammi then use a t towel or old t shirt, brings them up a treat.

An Army trick was to wash them with wet newspaper and then buff them with dry newspaper.

Worked for me.

I always use mr muscle window spray, spray it on liberally, work it onto tough stains ie kiddies hand prints, re-spray that area , then sqeedgie it off with a big window thingy, like a car windscreen scraper with the rubber blade, only larger, to cover bigger areas- I have huge windows and never get smudges! if a tiny smuge appears polish it off with a lint free cloth. I get my window blade thing (I wish i could think of the correct name for it!) It usually take seconds to do this though it takes practise to work across the window from top to bottom in a straight line....

did any of that make sense????????????
sorry half asleep!
