Just a few minutes after use, there’s no detectable fragrance. While the scent of ammonia is powerful and unpleasant, it doesn’t linger in the air or on the cleaned surface.
The ammonia-based cleaner broke up difficult compounds and consistently removed dirty, sticky, greasy blemishes on mirrors, windows, and other surfaces. Windex proved to be up to even the most difficult challenges. It simply cleans and eliminates streaking better than any of the other products we tested. Our pick for best overall glass cleaner is Windex.
For a glass cleaner that attacks grease - like on your microwave - Weiman proved a star performer. Windex outperformed seven other glass cleaners by consistently eliminating blemishes and impurities and producing crystal-clear views and reflections. It’s powerful enough to break up grease and food stains on a variety of surfaces without leaving behind spots or streaks. After nearly 40 hours of reading, researching, spraying and wiping, we determined that Windex is the best window cleaner available.
