At pennies a bucket-full, you can wash your windows with white vinegar, water and newspapers. Plus, it's environmentally safe!

Recipe:

  • 1/4 white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 3/4 teaspoons of dish-soap

Mix the 3 ingredients in a large bowl or bucket. Take newspaper, about a page at a time and crumple it up like you'd use a paper towel. Dip the paper into the mix and wash your windows.

Alternative: pour the mix into a stray-bottle and soak the windows that way before wiping with the newspaper.  (OK, if you don't get a paper, there's probably a neighbor who does, or you may find a bag or two of the free local ones in your driveway.)

Why is newspaper better than using paper towels? NO LINT and no cost (recycling/reusing). Try it... you'll be thrilled with the results and the money still in your wallet.
