Best cloth to wipe condensation off windows

Ianwzzz

I get a lot of condensation on my Windows and like to wipe them dry every morning. Does anybody know which cloth is best for getting rid of the water. I have tried many cloths, some leave bits of cloth on the window, microfibre cloths don't soak up the water. I have tried the Karcher window cleaner but it is too big for my windows.

always remember the little square sponges with the leather covering over it being really good for absorbing car windows condensation when it used to take about 30 mins to demist a windscreen

Get a window vac, much quicker. Microfibre cloths do work if you get decent ones, some of them are useless though. I get mine from wilkos and use them all the time!

Karcher Window Vac everytime. Still need a cloth to wipe the bottom edge afterwards but so much easier and quicker than using a cloth.

Oh, and good for cleaning the windows too (well sucking up the suds)

I have cheap (3 for £1) microfibre and they work fine - although volume of water will vary from one house to another, so it might be that you have 10x what I have.

I'd next move to microfibre followed by a bit of kitchen towel if it was getting most of it off.

I use a shower squeegee and a sponge to soak the water up. I also use one in the car.

From the above "Always read instructions". If you need to read the instructions for a squeegee you should probably let your carer wipe the windows.

OP - Karcher make a mini blade for their Window Vac which is about 5" long. Might that make a difference?

I use kitchen roll. Works well.

Definitely go for a squeegee then mop up the water that gathers at the bottom. There is a reason why window cleaners use them!

I have found these particular glass/polishing microfibre cloths a god-send for the past few years: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/7542/Glass-&-Polishing-E-cloth%C2%AE

They do a fantastic job of leaving a streak-free finish on glass/polished surfaces and are surprisingly absobent. They don't leave any visible fibres.

I would also vote for a window vac if money is not a limiting factor (I love ours), although a manual squeegee is certainly adequate if funds are tight.
