Re: Fixing window smears….?

No more store bought glass cleaners for me; I use white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, or pour straight peroxide on a microfiber cloth and clean my windows and mirrors.

Look for microfiber cloths made specifically for cleaning glass. Plus use Invisible Glass cleaner.

Re: Fixing window smears….?

I'm also in FL, and I use Invisible Glass. I put a microfiber cloth on a Swiffer mop, and it works well.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Re: Fixing window smears….?

I have all of my windows cleaned inside and out once a year after the pollen has gone. The guy who cleans my windows has his own window cleaning company. He uses a mixture of a couple of drops of dish detergent and lots of water. He uses large mop like thing to clean the windows and then a large squeegee on the windows. He wipes the sides of the windows with a cloth. Has it down to a science.

Try using vinegar and water 1 to 1 ratio.  Use newspaper to wipe it dry.

I have Super Cloth which I got from the Q years ago.

 

I used it up until a few years ago but stopped when I kept noticing " smears " when the sun would hit a mirror.  Obviously, the cloth had some type of chemical in / on it.  So I would never use it on glass....getting it cleaned off the glass could be too much work.

The newspaper tip from years ago worked then but has been recognized as no longer useful because the type of newsprint ink has radically changed.

Vinegar & water and a microfiber mop.

 

You may use 3 pads, wash, rinse & dry but it is super easy and it works!
