Try drying them off with newspaper after you've cleaned them.

Try different spray stuff I find some are better than others! Or take a tip from professional window cleaners and use soapy water and a squeegee.

Have you tried a house brick ???? :D

I dont think you can go far wrong with a propper sqweege ( I just KNOW I spelt that wrong ) and washing up liguid. Thats what most of the window cleaners round here use I think.

I have seen sprays advertised that give the window a coating which is supposed to make dirt less likely to stick to the window. Try googling for them. I think that these staqrted life as car windscreen coatings.

Pilkingtons now produce a glass which is specially coated called activ glass, I think. This coating reacts with sunlight tobreak down any dirt deposits on it and rainwater washes them from the glass.

Soapy Water, rinse with clean water (or squeege), polish with dry cloth.

always clean windows on a dull day,sunlight dries them too quickly
30ml of vinegar to a bucket of water not hot water
rub over with a chamois leather after, if they get too dirty quick just rub with a chamois leather
