windex, works great. spray it on, let it soak for a couple of minutes and wipe off. repeat if not clean the first time.

This topic was up a whole back I tryed the suggestions of Clorox wipes with a little elbow grease they looked brand new. I even went down the rods took off the hard water stains.

I soak mine (15 ea.) in a 5 gal. bucket of landry soap and hot water, then scrub lightly with a green scruby pad, rinse, dry with a towel and they look like new.
