I asked the guy who was with the service used for the office where I worked. DAWN dish soap. A very tiny amount in the water, not enough for suds, and squeegeed off. Nothing else.

I only use water with a splash of white vinegar and a microfiber cloth to clean my windows. I do not buy any type of window cleaner ever, and never use paper towels.

In the past when I had someone come to clean my windows he used the blue Dawn dishwasing soap and water, cleaned with a sponge and dried with a squeegee. You may have to experiment with how much soap to use for a bucket of water. Cheap and effective.

It's a job we do to the best of our ability and I don't fret about the results. I will say old newspapers work well for drying the outside of the windows.

That's what a window washer was using recently on the big front windows of the nail salon I go to and boy they looked spotlessly clean.

You got that right, sister!

@ScrapHappy I use "Sparkle" == it cleans and shines the windows. There is no amonia in it. Amonia streaks. I use the Sparkle spray bottle and paper towels. If the window is really dirty repeat the process.

Exactly. Just did mine yesterday, and perfect. Except for being exhausted. ![]()

I use Invisable Glass, about $5 something a bottle. Never streaks, my grocery store you can find it in the auto section not the cleaning section. Lowes & Home depot carry it too think that is in the cleaning section.

My Walmart sells the Invisible Glass pump sprayer or aerosol can for about $3.50. That's what I use on my windows and mirrors with microfiber towel.
