My windows. After the long Ontario winter the windows in my house are dirty. Products I buy to clean then always leave streaks. Please, does ayone have a solution for cleaning windows without streaking....

Just use vinegar water and old newspapers to wipe clean and they will sparkle and not streak. If no old newspapers a nice clean clother will do (like old diapers).

I use half water, half vinegar with 2 drops of dish liquid to cut grease. I live next to a country store and the delivery trucks leave the engines running so I have diesel soot to deal with. Wipe with newspapers (no gloss) and finish with an old towel if needed.
