How can I get rid of the film on my windows?

nutmeggin asked:
We have lived in our home for 5 years. For 5 years I have tried every solution you can think of to clean our windows and they WON’T COME CLEAN. I’ve tried the vinegar solutions, Windex (which is useless), our shark cleaner with squeegee, and other things I can’t recall at the moment. I’ve tried a variety of drying cloths also, newspaper, paper towel, all the old standards.
The problem is there is a film on the window. I’ve lived in many apartments and another home for 12 years and have never seen this type of film on any window. We have a new construction, vinyl siding with vinyl windows.
Any ideas as to what this hazy film is and what to use to remove it?
I have tried cleaning the outside and the inside.
They are double paned, but I’d think that they’d never come clean at all if it were the inside.
They have looked clean, for a minute then it comes back. it is every window in the house, not just one.
We have a new home, i’d hate to think they all need to be replaced. I’d have to deal with dirty looking windows if that is the case
I have tried alcohol, sorry forgot to list that.
They are double paned, I’m going to call the folks that installed them.
