How do you clean car windows?

I get my car cleaned regularly, but whenever spring comes around, I feel like my windows are always cloudy from dust and pollen. How can I clean my windows between car washes?

Constantly having dusty and pollen-covered windows is frustrating, and if you suffer from allergies, it can seem like a nightmare. Luckily, keeping your windows clean is easy and only requires common household items.
To clean car windows, both inside and out, you’ll need:
  • A few microfiber cloths
  • An empty spray bottle
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • White vinegar
Here’s how to clean the interior side of your windows:
  • Wipe down the windows using a dry microfiber cloth to remove any loose dirt and debris.
  • Fill the spray bottle with equal parts water and alcohol, and add a capful of white vinegar.
  • Apply the solution directly to a clean microfiber cloth.
  • Wipe the solution onto the glass in a circular motion working from top to bottom.
  • Dry the glass using a clean microfiber cloth to achieve a streak-free finish.
Here’s how to clean the exterior side of your windows:
  • Wash the windows using soap and water to remove any loose dirt and debris.
  • Fill the spray bottle with equal parts water and alcohol, and add a capful of white vinegar.
  • Apply the solution directly to the windows, paying special attention to tough, stuck-on dirt.
  • Using a microfiber cloth, wipe the windows with a side-to-side motion to avoid streaking.
