Yes I too use Windex, but not when I'm pulling it through thr heads by
the ink pump. It tends to foam a lot as it comes out of the heads and
makes a mess. I have switched to using a generic brand from Walmart in
the half gallon or gallon jugs. Good for manually cleaning out the
lines and bottles of my 9500. I then follow up with the other more
expensive cleaning fluid.

For stubborn clogs the extra strong gie800 (Image Specialists WJ800)
really does the job completely and fast! Though I wouldn't recommend
using it for flushing the system, the discharge of ammonia when it hit
the waste tank would probably knock you off your feet!
