Ugh.......have to clean the inside of my car windows.......anyone have a easy and effective way

[a kennedy]

to do this horrible job?? Thanks.

[underpants]

1. Dog spittle? Magic Erasure. There really is no easy way to clean the inside of car windows

Lots of paper towels

[Chipper Chat]

2. Sparkle or Windex with Vinegar

an old washcloth and your ice breaker wand

[cachukis]

3. Auto detailer.

[a kennedy]

18. Thought of that, almost worth how much it might be, I HATE THIS JOB.

[Traildogbob]

4. 😂😂😂😂

Please, somebody help us all. The worst job there is as a vehicle operator.
Don’t live in a city, but I have seen homeless folks come up to cars and try to clean windows for a little coin.
If they offered inside windows, I would rain cash on em and take them for a meal.

[a kennedy]

17. Hell, I'd buy them food for a week.

No on likes to do the inside windows. 😡

[GreenWave]

5. Put bacon on them and pull into a maga convention.

They will lick your windows. Then disinfect.

[LauraInLA]

11. If you rubbed them with bacon and put my dogs in the car, they'd do an excellent job!

[a kennedy]

16. Ha ha......

6. If you live in California,

Just go to the local carwash and immigrants who don't speak your language will wash them til they sparkle while you sit in the waiting room drinking free coffee. Tip those guys!

[Joinfortmill]

7. Vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Easy Peasy.

[a kennedy]

8. What would the ratios be please.......might give it a try.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Probably 3 to 1. Vinegar/alcohol. I don't measure.

[a kennedy]

15. Got it, and thank you.

Gonna give it a go.

[brush]

10. Windex and paper towels. The side and back windows are pretty easy...

reaching the whole expanse of the angled windshield is harder as you have struggle over the dashboard.

There might be a product at auto part stores to help...an indoor squeegee just for that job would work.

[a kennedy]

13. Will look into that.....and thanks.

[LauraInLA]

12. Not the most environmentally friendly, but Windex's wipes are super easy to use, and there's no spraying!

[a kennedy]

14. Right......thanks.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. The Best Store Product I've Used...

...is Armor All window cleaner. Best glass cleaner I've used, by a lot.
Also, using a squeegee than wiping sown with a paper towel works great.
If you have a car (like mine) where it's really hard to get to the bottom if the windshield, these work well, too.

22. I could always give away the 2nd items as a gift.......

only would need one, but looks promising. Thanks.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. We Have One In Each Car

And, a bottle of the Armor-All product.
I drive a convertible, so the inside of the windshield gets dirty/dusty easily.
I have to keep it clean, because glare drives me nuts.

[Shermann]

28. Those are indispensable when cleaning the windshield on a sportscar

For a boxier vehicle you can get by with just a rag.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. You Bet

I drive a ragtop, and the rake of the windshield is almost extreme.
It's not a sportscaster (my car wouldn't do over 100mph unless I dropped it out of a plane).
But, it's really hard to get to where the windshield meets the dash. Nearly impossible for someone 5'9".

[bcool]

20. Try this...

[a kennedy]

23. Yup saw as well......then I just thought ask here, DUers are alway a treasure trove of answers

and ideas. Thank you.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. This Is A Nice Tip

Especially the use of Dawn. Dawn is easily the most efficacious hard surface cleaner.
Higher active ingredient concentration, uses very hard water tolerant surfactants, and the added amphoteric surfactant, reduces surface charge, so it's more resistant to streaking.
It does have anionic surfactants so, I can leave a film, as these are intended to be rinsed away.
That's why I suggested the product I did above. All nontoxic surfactants so less susceptible to film residue.
This otherwise useful tip does not work well on my car. There is a severe rake of the windshield and a deep dashboard. Getting pressure when reaching that far out is tough.
That's why I like that tool I linked.

21. I have a bamboo backscratcher

shaped like a little hand. I use rubber bands to attach a wad of paper towels to the hand. douse it with Windex, and get to any areas of the windshield
I can't reach. If you are trying to get smoke off, try pure ammonia, but have your doors open while you use it.

I don't have trouble with anything but the windshield. That downward/outward slope puts it out of my reach

[a kennedy]

24. I hear ya, hardest for me to get in the bottom areas of the windshield as well.

[Phoenix61]

27. Invisible Glass cleaner with a lint free cloth works great. nt

[doc03]

30. Follow a dump truck hauling stone until one hits your windshield. Then go to Safelite and

get a new windshield installed.

[happybird]

31. Newspaper works better than paper towels

Especially if you smoke in the car. It's an old trick I learned cleaning mirrors when I worked in bars.

[Lulu KC]

32. It's the reaching that gets to me.

I swear, my windshield is longer than my entire torso, and I am tall. I might try using my grabber and a microfiber towel.

[KatyaR]

33. I bought these two things at Walmart:

RainX Glass & Mirrors Defog Sponge and RainX Interior Glass Anti-Fog spray. I haven't used the spray yet, but the sponge works GREAT.

[LogDog75]

34. Vinegar and Water

I use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water on the inside and outside of my car windows. Cleaning the inside the same way as the outside with one exception. On the outside windows, I clean with vertical strokes and on the inside with horizontal strokes so when I'm finished if there are any streaks I can tell whether they're on the outside or inside.

To clean the inside windows, I use a small terrycloth towel and spray it with clean water until it is damp and then wipe the windows and then I dry them immediately with another small terrycloth towel. Once the windows are dry, I repeat this step replacing the water with vinegar and water. Once the windows are dry, I use another small terrycloth towel as a final step to remove any film the vinegar might have left. Once the window feels slick I know it's clean.

This method might sound like a lot of work but it only takes a few minutes and it's effective.

Added: I've tried Windex and other glass cleaning products and found vinegar and water works best.

[a kennedy]

36. Yah, have heard and read that here as well......

[ret5hd]

35. Absolutely indispensable items:

neighbor kids.

[a kennedy]

37. Ha ha, oh ya, you mean once they get off their devices or games???

I never see our neighbor kids outside EVER. Not sure I’d even ask them, ya think they even know how??

[OldBaldy1701E]

38. "ya think they even know how??"

Doubtful.

[MissB]

39. Windows down at the car wash?

I just use windex.
