Newspaper to clean windows

Re: Newspaper to clean windows

Paper can and will eventually scratch glass. Never use paper products/tissues on your eyeglasses. Over the years I have tried many products. Meg's D120 Glass Cleaner is by far the best I have found, using MF towels to apply/remove. And since it dilutes 10:1 it's CHEAP.

newspaper never did very much for me but then again I have ALWAYS had trouble cleaning glass even to this day, maybe need to get the right cleaner

Or the right light. Just when you think you have it licked the light changes and, "Oh, gosh darn it, where did that come from"?

At one time I used newspapers to clean my windshield with, but after a while I began to notice fine scratches in the glass.

Not sure if this was already stated, but back in the day, newspapers worked great. Now most if not all, use a soy based ink and with that, the effectiveness has gone away.

Re: Newspaper to clean windows

I use the cheap MF towels from Target. Vroom brand I think.

I used Vroom before too. It was decently cheap to buy it. But, I gotta tell you all, I definitely prefer to use newspapers. I don't like to put the towels through any more than I have to because I want to make sure I don't wear them down to fast (limited budget here) and also because I am not 100% on cleaning them. Newspapers are easy, they're free (assuming you get the newspaper and have already read through it), and they don't streak at all. Definitely my preferred option.

Re: Newspaper to clean windows

not had any problem with microfibres personally.used to be be an old trick,cleaning glass with newspaper.don't know the science,but i think the ink gives your glass a darker,deeper reflection.Glass can be one of the hardest things to clean without leaving any smears: 'looks like crystal during the day--Drive home at night and you see loads of smears....AAAAgggh!

I also use the MF from Target for my windows. They work pretty good for me. I use them with armor all auto glass cleaner, (sorry, they didn't have any meguiars glass cleaner) its supposed to be streak free and ammonia safe, which it was. No lint and streak free windows...works great for me!

Re: Newspaper to clean windows

Try the glass micro fibers from ADS they are great, I personally love them! and I have not had a lint problem with them either

Re: Newspaper to clean windows

MF towels for me and for the lint, wash in cold water and dry on med low in dryer, I catch the most in the lint filter this way.

Add 1/2 cup white vinigar to wash , helps cut down the lint.

Re: Newspaper to clean windows

my grandfather used to clean all the glass with newspaper and alcool, i tried this some times (when i have some newspaper around) and it works great. but microfibers with a proper glass cleaner (like meguiars) works as good and is easier to apply in my opinion.
