(31) | (10/14/2007) Contact We are on a water well & have all kinds of problems with lime buildup on everything that comes in contact with the water. To a 32 oz. spray bottle: 1 - 2 T. non-sudsing ammonia, 2/3 of the bottle filled with vinegar, & the rest is alcohol. I use newspaper--don't use newspaper with color on it because the color causes streaks. Also, it doesn't take as much spray as you think it does to clean a window--sometimes less is better. And because we have a flour mill about a mile away, I sometimes have to wash the outsides of the windows twice. This is also good for mirrors & using to get the 'water stains' off of kitchen & bathroom fixtures.

She used white vinegar and wiped them with a newspapaer. Try it, it works!

He says my home made solution works better than anything that comes from a store. Just a quick squirt of Dawn dishwashing liquid, 1/4 C white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of ammonia, and add water to make 24 ounces. He sprays it onto the glass while I spray it onto the cloth. Either way it works beautifully.

Comes out pretty good.

Having lived in AZ, I know that the water there isn't like the water everywhere else.

Easiest ever - NO streaks. We have very hard water here and I have had people ask what I use to get and keep the patio door glass so shiny.

I bought them from a flea market with a demonstration. It even takes crayon, vaseline etc. off glass and windows with just water. Here is where you can buy them: http://ultimatecloth.com/ The key is to wet with water and ring them out tight. The cloth does the cleaning. It is streak free and you only use water. They work wonderful on bugs on your car, car windows, etc. This company has eye glass cleaners, mops, etc. and they only use water. You will be amazed. Read this whole site before ordering and read all the reviews. It is an amazing cloth.

My mom was having problems with streaks no matter what she used so she finally resorted to just using white vinegar, and it works GREAT! Try it!

There's a lot of good grease cutting dish detergents on the market that work splendidly. I'm one who gets out the ladder, the bucket of water and washing/drying rags. Keep your water clean and there won't be any streaks; that's the key. I live in the country and do outside windows twice a year, after farmers have their crops sown and after harvesting. I save the indoor ones for winter time cleaning; good exercise. I've used vinegar water and dry windows with crumpleed newspaper which newsprint is so messy, but does a top rate job too. I've also used Windex and other spray cleaners, but like the results better using dish detergent.

I don't really measure it carefully, but I use about 1/4 cup in a quart-size spray bottle of water. And I don't just use it for windows - it cleans practically anything! Report Spam or Abuse
