Sparkling Windows (or at my house ones you can at least see through)


I have stacks of newspaper waiting to go to the recycle center in my husband's shop. He was thrilled when I found out you can clean your windows using newspaper! This is actually a preferred method, because it does not leave the "dust" that paper towels tend to leave. It's also greener! For a light cleaning take one sheet or even a half sheet and wad it up until its soft and pliable. When the paper is the right texture use it to clean your windows...no cleaner necessary just elbow grease. For heavier cleaning follow above directions and add cleaner; 2 great ones are :
  Vinegar Window Cleaner:
Use 1 part vinegar for every 1 part water
spray on glass and use softened newspaper to wipe off
Hopefully, you always have white vinegar on hand. It's great stuff & we'll have lots of uses for it to share with you soon!

Lemon Juice Window Cleaner:
Use 2 parts water for every 1 part lemon juice
spray on glass and use softened newspaper to wipe off
