    Rain X on house windows?

    Anyone thought about spraying their home windows with Rain X?
    I stopped using a window cleaner as I couldn't justify the expense each and every month when in reality, the windows don't actually get that dirty. So I thought about chucking this Rain X stuff on the windows to prolong the cleaning intervals. Any merit to doing this?

    I do it every year. Makes a big difference.

    Also on the shower inside face (glass).

    Wipe it around the inside of bathroom washbasin- great seeing the water disappear!

    No brainer. Works a treat.

    Never thought of trying it on anything other than the car. Will give it a go.

    As a matter of interest, Is this a city problem? I've lived in the countryside my whole life (although the current house is in a city, it is the smallest city). Have never ever felt a need to clean any windows.

    I’m in south east England so maybe still too close to towns then!

    The windows in the country have always been of the wavy old achool glass variety, so it's also possible that I just don't know what a clear window really looks like :D

    My windows at the front of the house get dirty quicker than the ones at the back. Mainly dust and spider's webs. There's been loads of people doing house extensions in my road so I attribute most of the dust to that.

    Is the spray Rain-X just sprayed on and left? I’ve always used the bottled version on windscreen which has to be buffed afterwards so not too convenient up a ladder.

    There’s a glass cleaner with rain x in it that is sprayed on and then wiped off. It’s not that good to be honest and I’ve found the buffing kind is the best.

    Also I have tried a wax sealer on my windows which works well and is less effort than rain x
