How to Use Newspaper for Cleaning Windows and Mirrors

by cms@editor

When it comes to cleaning windows and mirrors, newspaper is an unexpected yet highly effective tool. Using newspaper for glass cleaning provides a lint-free, streak-free finish that commercial paper towels often fail to deliver. Start by crumpling up a few sheets of newspaper and using them in place of paper towels or cloths. Combine the newspaper with your preferred glass cleaner or create an eco-friendly solution by mixing water and vinegar. The texture of the newspaper helps absorb moisture and lifts dirt and fingerprints without leaving fibers behind. For best results, apply the cleaner to the glass surface and then buff it with the crumpled newspaper in circular motions. This method works just as well on mirrors, ensuring they shine brightly without streaks or marks. Not only does this method save you money, but it also helps recycle newspapers that would otherwise be discarded, making it an environmentally-friendly option for sparkling clean glass surfaces throughout the home.
