Default Cleaning windows

Here is a good way to clean your windows, or any glass surfaces. Use old newspapers to dry them with. With newspaper you have no streaks, or dust particals. I also use them to clean my car windows, and mirrors. Sometimes on my bathroom mirrors, I just sprinkle water on them and dry with the newspaper.

I use vinegar and old newspapers. They work like a charm, better than any cloth or glass cleaning solution. The house doesn't smell like vinegar all day afterwards either. Once it is dried up the smell is gone.

I find that using paper towels on windows and mirrors leaves a film, so I have been going with either newspaper or a soft cloth lately. Otherwise I had to go back over what I had done a couple of times to get rid of the streaks.

I have no idea why paper towels do this anymore, but they do, and the newspaper doesnt. Plus old newspapers save you money and you can always burn them if you have a fireplace or woodburner.

Go to the auto parts store and buy some invisable glass. It is for windows in cars, but is the best thing I have found to do windows morrors or anything glass. It does not leave streaks. I use a micro cloth with it.
