What ingredients are in Windex® Glass and Multi-Surface Cleaners?
Windex® Glass and Multi-Surface Cleaners contain detergents, solvents, fragrance, Ammonia-D®, and alcohol. They should not be used if ammonia is not recommended for use on surface. (Windex® Multi Task with Vinegar and Windex® Outdoor Window & Surface Cleaner do not contain ammonia. They are safe to use in these cases.) |

What can I do to get my windows and glass surfaces really clean?
Spray your favorite Windex® cleaner on windows or glass surfaces, and then wipe it off with untreated paper towels, newspaper, or lint-free cotton cloths for a streak-free shine.
Be sure to use enough of your favorite Windex® product to remove all the dirt. Change cleaning towels as they become soiled.
Tip: Old, clean cotton diapers are excellent for cleaning surfaces with Windex®.
Cleaning windows on a cloudy day works best. Sunlight can heat up windows causing sprays to dry before you can wipe them clean. |

How can I effectively use Windex® Glass and Multi-Surface Cleaners to avoid getting streaks or a "white/cloudy" film?
You do not want to use Windex® Glass or Multi-Surface Cleaners on very hot or cold surfaces because product may evaporate before wiping and cause streaking. Extra-absorbent paper towels work well for wiping up spills but can leave lint and film on glass or mirrored surfaces because they are treated. Do not use cloths that contain fabric softener. Also make sure there is not a film left on the surface from a previous cleaner. |

Can I use Windex® on all types of windows and mirrors?
On glass windows, mirrors, and Plexiglas®, Windex® cleaners work great. They're fast and easy, and they cut right through dirt and grime. Just spray on Windex® and wipe it off for a streak-free shine.
If you plan to use Windex® on your tinted windows, test a small area first. Care of tinted windows may vary.

Can I use Windex® on my vehicle windows?
Yes, but it is best to clean automobile windows with Windex® cleaners when the surface is cool and out of direct sunlight whenever possible. You can use it on glass, chrome, stainless steel, plastic, and vinyl surfaces. You should avoid painted surfaces. On tinted windows, test in an inconspicuous spot first, since there are different qualities of tint. We recommend using Windex® Multi Task Wipes with Vinegar on tinted windows. Do not use on after-market tinted windows. |

*Lucite surfaces do scratch. Use a clean soft cloth and a lot of product.
*Tinted windows: Test in an inconspicuous spot first, since there are different qualities of tint. We recommend using Windex® Multi Task Wipes with Vinegar on tinted windows.

When I clean my windows, it's a race to wipe up the spray before it hits the sills. Any tips for beating the drips?
If you are spraying a whole window at once, a general rule is the larger the area, the faster you move.
If you prefer a more leisurely pace, divide the window into four sections. Start at the top left, spray, and then wipe the product off with a lint-free cloth or untreated paper towel. You'll have plenty of time to catch the drips. Work your way clockwise around the whole window.
Another solution is to use Windex® No Drip Glass Cleaner. It contains a thicker, no-drip formula, so there's no racing to catch the drips. Just hold Windex® No Drip Glass Cleaner eight inches away from the window, squeeze the trigger, and wipe. |

The maximum length of distance you should be from the window is about 25 feet, depending on the water pressure of your home. Turn sprayer to "clean" position and spray windows for 20-30 seconds or until covered with suds. For extra cleaning power wipe sudsy area with a cloth or sponge. Allow suds to soak for 15 seconds, but do not allow suds to dry on window. Turn sprayer to "rinse" position and spray window from top to bottom until suds disappear, continuing rinsing for another 10 seconds. Turn sprayer to "off" position and reinsert plug for storage.
