I've seen a product called InvisiShield, but its for car windscreens so don't know if it'd be suitable for windows, it's a nuisance when it happens isn't it? Although there's not much point washing our windows at the moment with all the rain we're having......... Roll Eyes

Just read an article that says don't use cleaning agents every time you clean your windows as they leave a residue behind that can make your windows look dirty/smeary - alternate with using just clean warm water & a lint free cloth, don't use glass cleaner every time. Don't know if it'll be any help to you Chaddy.

FB, I couldn't agree more. In fact, i put up a post on this yonks ago. I once used glass cleaner, once used windowleen, tried vinegar and water, then went on to washing up liquid and water. none of them pleased me. I found the windows got dirty quicker after all these products. Then a few years age I started cleaning my windows with nothing but warm water.and it was perfect. The windows sparkle and stay clean much longer, in fact next time you clean the windows you can feel the smoothness on the glass, if you know what i mean, no build of of any cleaning products. I promise its much better that anything, and a neighbour once asked me what i used to clean my windows as they , sparkle. Chaddy do try this for a few weeks and you will notice a great difference. Just warm water and chamois, then shine dry with lint free cloth. Wink

It's amazing how the simplest things work best isn't it? All the products out there that promise wonderful smear-free ultra-clean glass, but a bit of water is the best thing for the job! Big Grin

yup there is a product made for car windows called rain-x, it is absolutely b---y brilliant. If you put it on your car windows you dont even need the wipers on, the rain just runs away. It is pretty easy to apply as well. Good for any windows. Get it in Halfords or anyplace where they do a decent range of car cleaning stuff.

Drives me mad some times, had extra lesons at school and even tryed night school a few years ago but I just cant spell Mad I can read with no problems. I have been tested for dislecsia (SP) and I am borderline when it comes to spelling. Makes me feel stupid at times and can be so embarasing.

Ah don't be daft. Doesn't mean you're any less intelligent than anyone else and we like you as you are Valentine You seem to spell words like you hear them; it's easy enough to work it out and people who say anything.......well, are THEY perfect??? Didn't think so.

Coo-Koo, who cares about spelling. God knows i 'm not great at it. It brings a smile to my face as well, but i do like it. We understand you thats all that matters. It does not mean you are stupid far from it. Just stay as you are, Coo-Koo we all have some flaws of some sort.Me I have many. It actually makes you sort of special, and makes me smile and as i say i love it. San.
