Streak Free!

I did it! I actually did it! I have wondered my whole life--since I started washing windows--how to get them clean without all the streaks. So last night I did a search for cleaning mirrors and windows without putting streaks on the glass. The source said to use newspaper and vinegar diluted in water.

After watching the video that detailed the process, I decided to try it. Instead of using vinegar, I used window cleaner, since that is what I had on hand, but I used the newspaper and it worked. I discovered as I cleaned the mirror that the key to cleaning glass without streaking it is to use newspaper and to rotate it as you go so that you are always using a dry part of the newspaper. That is why I have not had any luck with the papertowels--I'm always using the part that is already wet. Not only that, but the newspaper is lint-free, unlike many paper towels.

Awesome! Now, off to clean some more glass!
