Tip of the Day: Clean your windows with vinegar and newspaper
Use old newspapers for cleaning windows.
Newspapers are not something I would have considered when it comes to getting a streak-free shine on windows and glass, but according to this article on the The Daily Green they're perfect for the job. Many brand name cleaners are beginning to offer environmentally friendly versions of their glass cleaners, but perhaps one of the greenest of all is to use a simple solution of 2 tbsp white vinegar in a gallon of water, with the newspapers used to clean instead of paper towels. If vinegar isn't your thing (if you have a lot of windows to clean the smell might be a bit much) lemon juice or club soda are good alternatives.
