    What? I use a bucket of warm water, a squirt of washing up liquid and a standard window cleaners rubber blade. Works a treat. No point in turning a simple job into rocket science.
  • Or .. One third Stardrops, one third white vinegar and one third water in an old sprayer bottle. Use very sparingly. Lasts for ages.

    I go with this but also use a micro fibre cloth - no smears and shiny windows.

    I also use this to keep the shower screen and bathroom tiles spotless

    I'm too a big newspaper fan - I find, if anything, it leaves fewer marks than cloths or kitchen roll.... plus it's absolutely and utterly free, and a way of giving those free newspapers we all get some sort of use before they meet their end in the recycling bin.

    Everyone's a winner !
