        Coffee filters work great too. No ink mess on your hands.

      Great tip - but does it come with someone to actually clean them while I supervise from the couch?!

      I've heard of solely using newspapers for the windows but as a buffer I've never head of it. I'll have to try it out for sure. Thanks for the idea!

      If you don't have any old newspapers you can also use coffee filters. They will leave your windows streak free also :-)

      I have found the best way to clean windows is with lemon Pledge! I'm serious!!! I accidentally sprayed some on a mirror once and discovered how well it works. No streaks and so easy! I use it for both inside and outside. I have never had my windows so crystal clear. It sounds bizarre, but it really works.

      I have used the following mixture to clean my windows for years now and love it and just dry with paper towels. I don't like the black that gets on my hands from the newspapers.

      1 gallon warm water
      1 cup vinegar
      1/2 cup of lemon ammonia
      2 tbs. of cornstarch
      mix all together and use cloth rag to apply to window and just wipe dry with paper towel.

      I wouldn't suggest newspaper on the windows, after a while you'll get a window full of swirls.
      Just google "glass swirl scratches" and go to images, you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about.
      I know this because I'm a car detailling entusiast and because the lady that cleans my mothers house also uses this technique, by both these experiences I know you'll get micro scratches on your windows after a while. Just use a strong light in several angles and you'll eventually see them.
      Just go with a quality microfiber cloths, that will save the glass ;)
