I didn't notice any of that to be honest and I'm normally very sensitive to horrible noises like that. I'll have to try it again and see.

I have just thought, have I messed up my microfibre cloth by using it with fabric conditioner? seeing as you shouldnt wash them with it?

I think any fabric conditioner would do. I would think that your microfibre cloths would be okay again once they had been washed (without the fabric conditioner).

You can buy Micro fibre cloths from home bargins if you have one near you

Had to give this a try as have a huge bottle of fab cond and no longer use it for clothes (find using vinegar has helped my skin aggravations).
Well it does work, lovely smell, smear free windows - I used microfibre cloths, one to wipe, one to dry off.
The other bonus is that the surface is too slidy for beasties to crawl up, so when you splat them, it won't be on your windows! :j Well the bee that managed to get into my kitchen the other day couldn't manage to climb and kept falling on the window ledge. Hubby very kindly used my bug catcher and released it back outdoors.
Must remember to get my door fly screens back up asap!:rolleyes:

does it have to be warm / hot water? or could i keep some made up with water, ready to use in a spray bottle???

I use a couple of good capfuls of malt vinegar and a bucketful of hot water. Wash windows over with it and use a large size scraper thingy like the window cleaners use (from a pound shop) to remove all the excess water. I have never had such smear free and sparkly windows and mirrors. It even gets hairspray off the bedroom mirror. Cheaper than fabric conditioner too.

I just used it mixed up with water in a spray bottle.

Sweet Pea agree that vinegar is good for cleaning windows, but as I said have got a huge bottle of fabric conditioner which needs using up, as don't use it for doing clothes anymore, use vinegar instead. So was quite glad to find another use for the fc. Bottle should keep me going for years, as not an avid fan of cleaning windows! :embarasse
