What's the best way to wash your windows?

The way way I've found to wash my widows is to sucker someone else into doing them! :)

What ever you do, don't buy that window cleaner that you hook up to a hose and spray the windows down with because it doesn't work. All it does it smear and cause blotches on the windows as well as water seeping inside the windows. I'd use windex and old newspaper to clean them with however, do it when the sun isn't shining on the window because the sun heats up the window and causes smear marks. I learned that from a television program and told that to a friend of mine and she said it was true. So there ya have it! Good luck!

I hate washing window. The best way is the new spray that attaches to the hose. It has a surfactant in it that causes the water to sheet of and not cause spots. I do not know how well it really cleans the window.

I pay someone else to do it. I am not proud of that but hey, what can I say? Except for my backdoor which is a glass french door, and a triple width floor to ceiling window in my family room which both look out into my back yard. This is the room that we spend all our time and I like them sparkling so I clean them myself with windex and newspaper on a regular basis. My husband has sprayed some high up, hard to reach windows with our garden hose and while it did not break the window the pressure did press through the seal and we had water dripping down the window on the inside.

Joy dish liquid is a great thing to use to wash windows they dont streak.As for as using a broom I think the garden hose would be better. I can reach my windows with a ladder so I dont have much trouble there. Good luck and have a great evening.

The fastest and most effective way I've ever done it is to make a mixture of half-water and half-white vinegar. Instead of using a rag or paper towels, use pages from the newspaper. When you're washing the outsides, before the vinegar bath, shut them, set the hose nozzle on a hard setting, and wash away any loose dirt that can just hold up the process otherwise.

Unfortunatly I have no tips on washing them but I know that mirrors and windows can be made stripeless by rubbing a few pages of the newspaper across them in circles. Apply a little pressure and go round in circles on the still lightly moisture window or mirror and it will be spot and stipeless! It's not the exact answer you were looking for but I hope it helps!

I have always used windex windows cleaner since I was a teenager and paper towels to clean windows myself. I still do that same thing. I even do this to clean my computer moniter when it is turned off.

I always think that the best way to wash the glass window using some water and vinegar and wiping it off with newspaper. It goes so squeaky clean afterwards. If its so dirty, you could start off using some water and soap then rubbing it off with newspaper. Just try it and you will see how nice it is afterwards.

I don't remember specifically if I've ever washed the outside of my windows. They would have to get extremely dirty before I would even bother. The inside of my windows I use windex and a clean dry rag. I tried to clean them with vinegar before but couldnt keep the streaks away with that. My husband had to wash windows as a job for someone before and he used this squeegie thing. If your windows are high up you will need a ladder which means there is no way I would ever clean the tall windows as I am terrified of heights! You can open the windows from the inside and reach your hand out and wash them that way. It takes longer but it does work which now I realize I have washed them before and that is the way I did the ones that are high up! The ones that were low enough for me to reach I just used windex and a rag on them outside as well.

Since I clean houses for a living I sometimes have to wash windows too. So I have purchased a long handle squeegy and it works great. You know the kind you use on your car windows, only with a long handle. They only cost about $20 at hardware stores and so they aren't expensive. Then I use a pail of water with Sunlight Dish Soap and vinegar and water. I wash the windows with it and then use the other end and squeegy the water and soap off. It works great. The only thing is, never wash your windows when it is really sunny or windy out, as you will only get streaks, because the water dries too quick. So the best time to do them is on a cloudy day. The reason for Sunlight Dish Soap and vinegar is, that it helps for the windows not to streak.

break it....no windows....and you look outside more clearly...what do you think? i never wash my dorm's window.it's always clear....if i want to see the sunset,i just go out to the yard and sitting down there...although i am not so romantic person...

The bets way to clean windows is to spray some water on it and then use some newspaper to clean it. Supposedly the ink used in the newspaper print gives glass a shine and when the paper gets wet, and the ink starts to smudge, it gives glass a shine. And it's a way that most people use, especially store owners to keep their windows clean and clear. bourne

you can use soap lather it in the water and then wet your window with it. crab it and wet it with your old news paper. it will make it really clean and no spot at all. it will shine like a brand new glass again.

Use old newspapers and wet them then wipe everything on your window. Then use a dry towel to dry your windows.

I like to wash my windows with soapy water to get rid of any marks on them. Then I rinse them over with water then white vinegar before drying them with crumpled up newspaper. The soap clean the windows, the vinegar get rid of smears and the newspaper helps this even more. I get news print on my hands so I wash them right away. I use two sponges, soapy water, clean water, vinegar and a newspaper.

No need for soup, detergent or cloth or cotton. If its plain glass (of any type), just take some water and old newspaper. Wet the glass with waterm, rub it with newspaper. Throw the wet newspaper. Take some more newspaper and rub the glss again to make it dry and see the shine you get. After you see the results say thanks to me.

Hi Beautyqueen, I cheat and get a window cleaner to come round to do them, I use hot water and vinegar and dry off with newspaper for the internal ones but know climbing ladders for me so I get someone else in about once a month to do the outside. I know you can buy specialis longhandled brushes for this purpose. Ellie :D

I only know the way to clean small window. Use moist dustcloth to wipe off the dust, then use newspaper to wipe carefully, and you will find the windows are clean. But it can only be applied to small windows, or the work is tiresome when the windows are big.

The best way I have found to wash the windows is to hire someone to do it. LOL All you have to do is open the yellow pages. I am sure there is a company out there that would be more than happy to come out and clean your windows for you. They might even clean out the gutters while they are at it. LOL
