Whether you’re after unbeatable value, trade-level performance, or a greener choice that doesn’t compromise on clarity, this list has you covered.

Verdict:
It’s official — supermarket and budget brands now rival (and sometimes outperform) the big names when it comes to everyday glass cleaning. Flash remains the benchmark with unbeatable streak-free power, all be it by a miniscule amount.
Three of our Top 10—Aldi, Asda, and Astonish (the Triple As)—deliver serious value at under 15p per 100ml. With just 0.3 points separating the entire Top 10 on Cleaning Power, there’s very little to choose between them on performance. Eco, budget, and mainstream brands all perform similarly in this sector. For us, that means the real deciding factor is either price or environmental impact—and ultimately, that’s a personal choice.
Final word?
Sometimes premium is better but when it comes to glass cleaners as long as you pick one in our top 10 you cant go wrong. In this category you can get the same streak free clean for a third of the price and what is not to love about that?
