You will be amazed at the results, as we were. No odor, fumes, streaks, preparation or cleanup. Water is free and readily available. The microfiber cloths can be purchased just about everywhere now—hardware stores, department stores, box stores, grocery stores. They vary in price but are quite reasonable and reusable. Some packs come with a variety of colours allowing you to assign a colour to specific jobs. For example; we use white for clear vinyl windows, blue for galley and green for dirtier jobs like fiberglass etc. Then, you don’t mistakenly pick up a cloth with sand in it that will scratch the vinyl.

Just be sure to use clean microfiber cloths and not too much water spray. If the cloth ends up too moist, use a clean dry one to finish. If you have spider dirt, wet it well and let it soften first. You may have to use a little “elbow grease” for these types of stubborn spots, or scratch it with your finger nail through the microfiber cloth. [links]

But, there is a trick. You fill a spray bottle with water and spritz the area to be cleaned—just a spritz—not too much. Then you have to use a clean “microfiber” cloth to wipe it clean. If you have a lot of dust, wash it with just plain water and microfiber cloth, then wipe off the water and use a clean dry microfiber cloth to finish. A dry microfiber cloth works best. here

We found that we only needed heavy duty cleaners once in a while for heavy duty cleaning. For everyday cleaning, just plain old water worked better than all the cleaners we tried. [links]

Plastic windows should be cleaned regularly. Be sure to hose or blow off loose dirt particles from surface and then use either plain water or mild soap and water solution. DO NOT USE HARSH DETERGENTS. Apply with a clean, soft cloth or microfiber towel to gently clean the window. Never use harsh brushes or abrasives when cleaning plastic windows.
