THE BEST WINDOW CLEANER
Make a great all-purpose window cleaner by combining 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap or detergent, and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Combine in a spray bottle. Shake to blend.
As for hard water stains it is very difficult unless you havew an acid to literally burn it off. I know we have extremely hard water here and literally nothing will get it off the shower doors short of them coming with their special acid solution that you cannot buy at any store to get it off. Let me tell you it is toxic too!!

I make an answer of most commonly water, a couple of drops of Dawn liquid and a few usual rubbing alcohol. I use a humid sponge to place it at the window and if there are spots, like from birds and many others, I rub over them a few instances. Professionals use a prime-satisfactory squeegee to dry the window and a rag to get the corners. I use historic newspaper which has a moderate abrasive satisfactory. Wear gloves b/c the newsprint rubs off. I consistently have a unmarried aspect razor blade useful to scrape away paint spatter and many others.

White vinegar is the absoluyte best thing for cleaning windows. Most people dilute 50/50 with water, but I use it neat. It is also wonderful for shower screens. It cuts down soap scum is a natural antiseptic and also a mould and mildew retardant.
Hope that helps

I own and operate a cleaning service and we use a vinegar, water and dishwashing liquid mix. We also use newspaper to dry. With some of our clients that have hard water stains, I will usually use a rag and amonia (for shower doors) rinse and clean with the mix.

With a rag & equal parts of pariffan & methylated spirits. this will rid the mark´s. then wash with warm water and a touch of vinegar, use news paper to clean, remember to wear gloves whilst doing both thing´s . I say this as the news paper leave dye on your hand´s & normal you use gloves whilst using the other liquid. Oh yes No streak´s with news paper

In college, the cleaning lady always cleaned the glass hallways with a mixture of vineger and water. While it worked very well, in the wintertime, no one could take advantage of the winter sun due to the strong smell. I hate that smell to this day.

Clear Ammonia mixed in the ratio of 1 tablespoon to one quart of the hottest water you can stand to work with.
After you have cleaned the window and rinsed it, get as much excess water off as you can and use newspaper to bring it to a shine.

Hot soapy water and a good rag- then go over them again with metholated spirits on a rag, to get a good shine.
