Narrative:

My crew flew this aircraft into atl on jun/thu. Air carrier X from dfw. One of the logbook entries I made was a request to have the cockpit windshields cleaned. There were other entries in logbook that required maintenance attention. On arrival in cockpit for the departure back to dfw the next day, I saw that the cockpit windows were still dirty. Yet the logbook had been signed off by maintenance to show that the windows had been cleaned. It is illegal to certify that an entry corrective action has been accomplished when the action was never taken. I requested that the station clean the windshields prior to departure.
