I've been doing my dusting with fabric conditioner for a while now. It conditions any wood your polishing and makes the room smell fresh. I've never tried it on windows though. I'll give it a go.

Since I use vineger too for fabric conditioner I dont buy any but dont need to as cheaper to use microfibre cloth and water. - I do mine all every saturday morning and they sparkle wonderfully - the window cleaner does the outside I may add.

You are welcome Rachie B.:D

Thanks Black Saturn on dusting tip, will give that one a bash. Do you use the fabric conditioner straight, or made up with water?

Another thing, have been using fabric conditioner mixed with water in spray bottle to freshen up curtains (just as you would use Febreze). Not sure if you are supposed to do this or not, but it's not doing them any harm. My curtains are all cotton type finish, not velour or velvet, so please don't use on them without doing further research.
Also been using same spray for ironing :rotfl:, well, on the rare occassions that I get the iron out! Not on my clothes, but on Mr and Miss AM's stuff. Was just another way of using up the FC.

If you are using a microfibre cloth you only need to use water, thats what they are made for.

No detergents needed especially for mirrors, just micro fibre a minute amount of water and a tiny splash of elbow grease for perfect results every time.

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..

I have also seen this recommended, on one of those makeover programmes, for using on tiles in the shower, the water just runs off and you don't get that scummy build up that's difficult to clean off. They said you only needed to reapply the wash n wax every 6 months.

note to self: Must get round to trying this sometime.

My OH uses good old fashioned washing up liquid with water and a blade for perfect results everytime!

I cleaned my massive bay window yesterday (square) I can't reach the top so I get OH to help.

As it was really bad, I used starclens to clean and wash to start and gave that a good scrub. Then I used nail varnish remover to give the White UPVC a clean. I finished off with a small spray of window cleaner (not OS I know) with some vinegar then wiped that over then buffed with a microfibre cloth. The window is sparking!! Really pleased.

Hurray for microfibre cloths, they're great for everything!
