I know that Windex leaves a film after a while and I have tried just normal dish soap on a sponge, and that seems to work ok (but usually I use a crappy sponge, so the results are so-so).

I figure there is some "around the house" solution, so I shouldn't have to run to the store to buy a bottle of a certain cleaner.

Thanks!

 

I find that when you use nothing, there is nothing left to wipe up. Really, I just use a clean dry cotton towel. It sounds stupid and simple, but it works and help keep my glass cleaner.

 

Ditto. I do the same on the outside of my windows too. The only thing I put on the my windshield is Rain-X.

 

Ditto Ditto. Rain X outside, and nothing inside.

 

it sounds, ridiculous, but wiping with a newspaper works really well, and doesn't leave streaks. try it with whatever cleaner you use next time.

 

I've tried newspapers before. They don't leave streaks, but they leave lint.

If you must use liquid glass cleaners (because of bugs, etc.) and you're not washing your car, then use one dry terry cloth for wiping off excess liquid, one for wiping off streaks, and if any streaks are still there another clean, dry terry cloth.
