Cleaning Windows - A few Tried and Tested Ways

We all know it's so much easier to pay a wondow cleaner but for those who love cleaning windows here are a few tips and tricks gathered from the Staff at Mortens.

Mrs T from Cookware swears there is no better way than to use a Skrim Cloth, good old fashioned Stardrops mixed with a bit of ammonia for a streak free finish. She's been using this method for years.

We must add a reminder to always check the labels because certain cleaning products should not be mixed!

Ms J from Housewares, one who always likes to save money, says never throw away old towels and face cloths because these plus simple water will clean and shine windows, mirrors and car windscreens. One wet, one dry. Just make sure the towels are clean to start with and do not have fabric conditioner on them. Old towels are good for polishing car bodywork after shampooing too.

She also says the use of old newspapers scrunched up works too. The printers ink is the trick in getting a streak free shine.
