How do you clean your windows?

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've heard that warm water with a bit of dishwasher rinse aid works well. The rinse aid dries it off quickly and streak free like it does to the glasses in your dishwasher.

Have to admit to not having tried it myself, I have colonial windows which take forever to clean and I usually just stick to windex. Actually metho works well too.

I have several really large windows. I use the windex outdoor product. You attach it to the hose, and spray and rinse. The main thing though is to clean the dust off the surface first. I use a soft broom. I have no choice as I am not able to climb a step ladder now.

Sounds good for the outside Katy ..... need some thing that works for the inside as well

Newspaper and water works well but is messy.  

Don't go to Enjo for a good squeegie.  Go to a car parts and accessories place like Autopro.  Much cheaper, although I do have the Enjo one which is great for doing the outside of the windows.

Mostly I just use Windex and a paper towel for the inside.

When I didn't have any I used the windscreen cleaner fluid and I added that to a bucket of water and that worked great too.

Use a different direction to clean the inside, than you use for the outside. 

I use Glass plus, and newspaper. I wipe the windows up and down(vertically) outside, and across from side to side(horizontally) inside. That way you know if your streaks are coming from inside or outside.

i use water with some white vinegar mixed in and either a paper towel or

a few of those cheap white paper coffee filters.

I have security grills on the outside so i'm going to use the outdoor window cleaner you attach to the hose inside I use windex and newspaper.

A use a young man who industriously knocks on the door from time to time offering to clean windows for a relatively small fee.
