OK it's a job I loathe but it has to be done .... I have a massive window in my sunroom what's the best way to clean it, that doesn't take long or leaves smears/smudges?

I have tried every single one of the window cleaning sprays on the market that purport to leave no streaks, and every single one of them does, without exception. Ditto with mirrors. I haven't as yet tried the tap water/vinegar method but I have filled a spray bottle in readiness.

make sure you are able to quickly unlock
them from the inside in case of fire.

Yes, freddie, I'm concerned too that this safety feature may have been overlooked.

Clear cache and cookies and reboot
With a good deal of 'windex'.
Paper is the best.

How do you clean your windows?
AHHHahahahahahahaha
ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaa
oh, you're serious.
ummm, well I'll let you know if it ever happens
My SIL reckons a wet microfibre cloth followed by a dry microfibre cloth leaves a streak free clean.

Methylated spirit and tissues. If it is very dirty I would wipe it first with damp cloth not worrying about streaks. Then clean with meth and change the tissues as they get too dirty.

Please don't use newspaper - it's unhygienic and if it gets wet, the ink can run and create smears on the glass.
If the window hasn't been cleaned for quite some time, use wet Viva paper towels to wipe off any built-up residue. (Do not use any other paper towel for the job as it won't be strong enough) When this is done, spray with Windex and leave it for several minutes while you do a preliminary clean of the other side of the glass. Come back to the sprayed section and use a non-scratch sponge and scrub using circular motions. Clean off the residue with a ton of paper towels until shiney. (rags don't work as well) Repeat on other side. Don't wear plastic gloves as it will smudge the glass.

Plastic gloves?
Where do you buy them?
