Hooray! My Windows Are Clean1

ScrapHappy · ‎03-28-2010

I've tried so many products trying to clean my windows. Nothing was working, always streaks. It was so frustrating to me because in my old house, I was able to get sparkley, clean windows just by cleaning them by hand using windex and paper towels. I was hesitate to use windex outdoor window cleaner (that attaches to hose) because of was scared I'd get foggy windows. But I gave in and tried one window today and it worked! Ended up doing a total of 17 windows. 13 more to go!

@ScrapHappy You have one heavily windowed house. Good to hear that Windex works. I've always been skeptical but I can't get on a ladder so I might try it. Thanks for the review.

Please help me understand what you are using, you first said you were "using Windex and paper towels..", and I am assuming that is for the inside?

But then in the next sentence you said you "hesitated to use Windex outdoor window cleaner... But I gave in and tried one window..." So is that for the inside or the outside?

I'm so confused, are you using two different Windex products, one for inside and the other one for outside?

The owner of the glass store where I bought my store front windows years ago for my business told me they only use rubbing alcohol and water, 50/50.

Never any build up and never any streaks.

@ScrapHappy It does work great, I've been using it since it came out. I wish I could use it inside, so easy.

I use newspaper instead of paper towels. Love windex.

Washing windows here is ultra difficult! The windows on the back side and one side of the house are 3 floors up over blacktop!

I have to open them up and clean from the inside, room windows are 5 ft x 3 ft!

Clean windows are a joy. I just got some new doors with full view glass, Low E, and I find cleaning them to be a whole new ballgame.

That 's great that you can clean your outside windows with a hose with no streaking. Wow, you have a lot of windows!

In my old house, I had a ton of windows with storm windows inserted. It would take me forever to take them apart to clean, but I could not clean the outside of the windows on the second or third floor. I wish that type of Windex that you use with a hose was available back then.

We built the house we live in now....a two story with tilt-in windows. They are so easy to clean. I normally clean the LR and kitchen windows every week or two. My LR windows are low to the floor and get " nose prints" on the them. The kitchen window is above the sink.

My DH loves to wash windows...he does the windows in the whole house about four times a year. I don't complain. Now, if only he liked to clean bathrooms.
