Glass Cleaner? - Page 2

I hate those powdery ones like Fast Glass. Just use neat screen wash, white vinegar, Mr Muscle etc and they are also fine for the outside of the glass to. Use Kitchen roll, or a very very dry, unsoftened microfibre.

Have you even used "Fast Glass" Christian?

Yes. Despite being a non-cream, like others it still seems to leave a film, almost as if it is a cream. Its just an overly complicated solution to a simple problem.

I was so impressed with the job Tesco Daisy made on my Rover windows i have started using it on the house windows too. Its great but you have to make sure you rinse well.

Most glass cleaners are just a weak acid solution with a detergent in them, or an alcohol solution with a detergent. A white vinegar solution with a drop of washing up liquid is basically all they are.

I agree white vinger and a drop or two of mild detergent added to water does the trick very nicely and cost pence !! and for a real sparkle a suitable newspaper page screwed up gives excellent result
