Ajax Cleaner
 
How it Ajax window/glass cleaner, does anyone know?

I usually buy Windolene glass cleaner but my local shop has sold out and cant find it other places, and have found Mr Muscle glass cleaner not very good.

Just add a few caps of vinegar to a bowl of warm water, that should do the job.

I've never noticed a smell afterwards, only use a small amount. I think the juice of a lemon will work too, and it shouldn't leave any smears.

Anything with Vinegar/Citric Acid (Lemon/Orange/Grapefruit) would work. Basically the active ingredient in most window cleaning products is distilled white vinegar. This is the product that prevents smearing. The Citric Acid cut through grease :)

An old trick I was taught by my Dad was to wash the glass normally and then polish with newspaper. Oddly it works :erm:

I've used a mix of white spirit and vinegar before and used a newspaper afterwards and the window was sparkling clean and no funny smells either.

As a window fitter i have to clean the glass of new installations everyday and leave them sparkling or the clerk of works rejects them .It doesn't matter what cleaner you use any will do ,it's what you use to apply it that matters .Spray glass cleaner on to the glass and wipe off with standard paper towel making sure to wipe off all the cleaner leaving it on the glass will result in streaks ,the same applies if you are using plane soapy water which is just as good as any shop bought glass cleaner

I like ajax cleaner, as it cleans my windows whilst dynamically updating my webpage - so I don't need to reload it.

I prefer Vim as it cleans my sink whilst editing my config files...
