cleaning windows with fabric conditioner

Has anyone else tried this? My sister swears by it, so I gave it a go. Just put a little fabric conditioner in some water and wipe over your window or mirror and then just wipe off with paper towels (probably the microfibre cloths would work but I haven't tried it with them). They do come up sparkling and with no smears. I don't know why I ever used spray on window cleaner before.

My mum always used to use a bit of washing up liquid in some water, it stopped the windows steaming up, this was in the days pre double glazing!GC Oct £387.69/£400, GC Nov £312.58/£400, GC Dec £111.87/£4000

I must say that I'd never thought of that before, but it certainly sounds as if it would work. Now. . . . as my windows really need cleaning I have no option other than to try it out.
Maybe tomorrow. . . .0 -
i'm sure they use this method over on the Med as the sunlight apparantly shows up every smear and conditioner is smear free...think i saw it some years ago on a tv doc about a couple who moved to spain and his new venture was window cleaning

my next door neighbour uses car wash the one with the wax in as when she has finished the rain just runs off the windows..tina68 wrote:i'm sure they use this method over on the Med as the sunlight apparantly shows up every smear and conditioner is smear free...think i saw it some years ago on a tv doc about a couple who moved to spain and his new venture was window cleaning

I can remember seeing a Kim and Aggie programme where they cleaned a (filthy!) tv screen with a fabric conditioner/water mix.Sealed Pot Challenge #021 #8 975.71 #9 £881.44 #10 £961.13 #11 £782.13 #12 £741.83 #13 £2135.22 #14 £895.53 #15 £1240.40 #16 £1805.87 #17 £1820.01 declared0

Maybe that's where my sister got the idea from.

This is probably somewhere else on here I should think, but I used 50 50 water and vinegar the other day on my filthy horrible windows and cleaned off with newspaper. Absolutely amazing........

i have tried the newspaper method but it makes me cringe, the screetching on the glass.. much prefer my micro cloths
