I have been using this simple and inexpensive solution to clean my windows and mirrors and it leaves them streak free!
You'll need:

A 1 gallon bucket
Ammonia (mine came from Dollar Tree)
1 Table spoon
Water
Washcloth
Old cotton-shirt
Squeegee (mine came from IKEA)

Put 2 tablespoons of Ammonia into the 1 gallon bucket bucket.

Fill the 1 gallon bucket with water all the way up. (If you need less - then 1 tablespoon Ammonia with 1/2 bucket water).

The above and below pictures are of my bathroom mirror. I took a picture with the lights on and off trying to show how streaky the mirror was. My husband used Windex and a paper towels - this is what it left behind.

Put your wash cloth in the bucket of solution and squeeze it out. Wash your mirror or window.

Use your squeegee to slide top to bottom.

It looks so much better and my arm isn't exhausted from rubbing so hard.
