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!
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?

Yep I use it on all outside windows including my Velux windows.

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.
A wee aside, once finished in the shower we have one of those flexible blades they sell for use on car after washing-never use one on the car though- and wipe the walls and glass panel down, helps stop water marks.
We moved recently and a window cleaner came around to say that he’d cleaned for the previous owner for 15 years.
Price to clean them now was £19
I said “Great - please do it every 3 months”
He said “it’s £19 if I come each month, if you only want a clean every 3 months it’s £29 a time”
WTF?
Rain X - brilliant stuff. Defo worth using on the windows if you don’t want to use a window cleaner. Great on your car windows too, especially the rear one which usually judders a lot without.
Nope, they're never been cleaned (growing up that meant my bedroom windows were not cleaned for 20 years). I've never found any build up of dust or anything else, always nice and clean and clear. That's why I asked. While a student in London my windows needed constant attention.
I’m in south east England so maybe still too close to towns then!
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.
I was told by a bathroom fitter that a previous customer of his waxes the bathroom tiles (but not on grouting) which keeps tiles really clean.
For my car I use Angelwax H2Go glass sealant which lasts 2-3 months on windscreen and over 4 months on side windows. For shower screen I would expect 4 months or so. Angelwax is more expensive but think it is a fantastic product.
Why have I never thought I’d using this on my house windows! game changer haha! That’s today’s job! Thanks Op lol
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

I think the window-cleaners expect the householder to fold and agree to the schedule.
Pay by cheque? Unusual - unless they are trying to build up the business to sell.
How long does the RainX last on house windows before needing another application? Also, for those that use it, do you normally get your windows cleaned first and then apply it?
Must admit we have been very slack about our windows so this might be worth a try for us.
Cheers
