The best window cleaning products

With added vinegar to cut through tough grease and grime in seconds, this is our top pick of the best window cleaning products. Leaving a streak-free shine after each use, similar to the majority of window cleaners, this one takes a little elbow grease. Turn the nozzle and spray generously on your window and glass then wipe clean – we've found that kitchen roll leaves the best finish. It's worth noting that it shouldn't be used on finished wood or on surfaces other than glass, mirrors and tiles.

For use on all windows and glass around your home, this hard-working cleaner polishes your windows until they're fingerprint-free and shining. It also removes tough stains and grease at the same time thanks to the power of vinegar. For those who are worried about their pets, it's cruelty-free and vegan. What a combo! Simply spray on your windows and wipe off with a dry paper towel or lint-free cloth. Avoid contact with acid sensitive surfaces such as marble and limestone and it shouldn't be used on varnished, polished or unsealed wood.

E-cloths can remove the toughest of dirt, leaving your windows streak and lint-free without the need for chemicals. This two-cloth pack contains one to clean windows, frames and sills and another to polish glass. To use, simply wet the cloth and wipe on your windows, then polish for a perfect finish – it's as simple as that. The cloths are machine washable so can be used over and over again.

This eco-friendly window cleaning product comes in a recyclable bottle and is our top pick for those who are looking for the best supermarket window cleaner. Not only will it leave your windows smear-free, but it smells pretty lovely (compared to other window cleaners, that is) and it's completely vegan. Just spray generously and wipe in circular motions with a dry cloth, then buff for shine. 

This window cleaner is cruelty-free and the bottle is made from recycled and plant plastic, making it our top pick of the best window cleaner for those who are eco-conscious. It makes short work of tackling windows and glass to ensure they're smear-free and clean; the formula is also quick-drying. Spray directly on to windows, mirrors, chrome or glass for the best results, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
