To keep the windows and mirrors clear in a steamed up bathroom smear neat washing up liquid or liquid soap on the window/mirror. You may need to do this on average about once a week. Be careful not to put too much on at first and you should have a mist free window/mirror.

here is a great tip for getting your windows really clean!! I clean an empty spray bottle and I put in 2 round spoonfuls of vinager in the bottle than I put 2 spoonfuls of rubbing alcohol in the bottle. then I put a couple of drops of dish washing liquid in the bottle and then I put in warm water and fill the bottle and then I start to clean all those windows . they come out clean and like new!!

Be careful to NEVER use ammonia based cleaners for floors or other cleaning (such as a trash container, or even windows) if you have pets. I was scrubbing my floors and patio doors with ammonia and hot water. Cleaned great but the dog mistook the ammonia smell for urine and now "marks its territory" where the ammonia cleaner was used. BAD! Ammonia smell will last long after another cleaner is used over it-- a dog can still smell it when we can't. Antibacterial is best.

For some savings, use automotive windshield washer fluid diluted in water to clean windows and other non-drinking glass in the house. Use a soft lint free cloth like an old T-shirt to wipe dry. This leaves streak free sparkling glass.

After cleaning windows use newspaper or kitchen towels to remove excess liquid and it gives a great shine too!

When cleaning windows, mirrors or glass doors or vases add some rinse aid (dishwasher) to the rinse water - no streaks and a sparkly finish - and it smells good!

use vinger to clean Windows oven doors and glass

if you have a wet bed clean it with washing up liquid and warm water and scrub until all the stain is out, then get a couple of towles lay them over the area and bouce on the bed to get all the excess water of the mattress then if you can stand the mattress up on its side to air it with windows open

to get your windows sparkling , use hot soapy water with a bit of white vinegar, clean the excess liquid off with newspaper, comes up a treat

Rather than spending hours on cleaning try and do just a few minutes each day. If a windows got finger marks on it, wipe them off straightaway etc

Fill one of those garden spray bottles (clean it first!) with detergent/bleach etc so you can spray hard to reach areas (eg mould at the top of windows). Wipe, then spray with water and hey presto!

wipe one side of your windows horizontally and one side vertically – this way you will know what side the smears are on

to remove the black mould that can grow in the corners of windows, use an old toothbrush dipped in a mixture of water and bleach
