Streak- Free Windows

tinker79 by tinker79 Talking Back(September 2006) (rank 99th)

Sick of streaks on your windows and mirrors? Are you sick and tired of the lint from the cloths left behind on your windows? To solve this problem I  use windex and than wipe them with  newspaper. You bunch the newspaper all up and then start wiping away.  I

haven't tried any of the colored print from flyers yet. But the newspaper  works so well.  Sometimes the ink from the newspaper gets left on your hands. So you could where gloves if you wanted. I guess it all depends on how much windex you use, to how wet the newspaper gets.And after you are done with the newspaper I still throw it in the recycling bin!

Newspaper always works
Apparently it is something to do with the paper, not the print, so even newspaper that has not been printed on can be used for this purpose.  My parents swear by it and it has always worked for me. 
Peace
