My windows really needed some TLC. Between a dog and 3 young kids, they get touched, smudged and even covered in stickers.
There are 5 windows pictured here. I didn’t know if the glass sliding door counted as one window or two so I did an extra one just in case
The cleaner I used was a water/vinegar mix. And I used a rag to get wet, a dry rag and a norwex polishing rag. (My favorite norwex rag of all time!)

For my house at least because the house is mostly/fully heated by passive and active solar and I can lose as much as a third of the heat to just messy windows.  It is a comfort issue.  It is possible to wash half a window and feel the difference on my face just moving side to side in the sun.
