\"Cleaning<\/a><\/p>\n

Cleaning glass without leaving behind streaks, a cloudy film, or lint comes down to two things: the right glass cleaner, and the right cleaning cloth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Best Glass Cleaners<\/h2>\n

The best solutions for cleaning glass are ammonia-based glass cleaners<\/strong> like Windex<\/strong>, or a 50\/50 solution of vinegar and water<\/strong>. Unlike bleach or soap,\u00a0ammonia\u00a0and vinegar won’t leave behind\u00a0streak and film causing residue.<\/p>\n

Best Glass Cleaning Cloths<\/h2>\n

Frankly, the best cleaning solutions for glass are pretty well understood. It’s the\u00a0paper towels\u00a0most of us use to wipe up glass cleaner that\u00a0are the real culprit behind\u00a0streaky, cloudy glass. Most paper towels are treated for absorbency. That makes them great for wiping up spills, but terrible for cleaning glass. The absorbency treatment is\u00a0why your glass tables, mirrors\u00a0and windows\u00a0end up covered in lint and dry with a film.<\/p>\n

If you must use paper towels, go with untreated towels\u00a0such as SCOTT Glass Towels<\/strong><\/a>. Skip anything touting its absorbency. In fact, I recommend skipping paper towels altogether if you can. Who wants to waste time scrutinizing\u00a0\u00a0paper towel packaging, or keep a special glass cleaning roll on hand?<\/p>\n

Instead, go with lint-free cotton clothes such as KIMBERLY-CLARK\u00a0WYPALL Microfiber Cloths<\/strong><\/a> or Bag-A-Rags Reusable Wiping Cloths<\/strong><\/a>. They are super cheap, reusable and versatile. \u00a0Cotton cloths are gentle and durable enough to clean practically anything. Just don’t use fabric softener when\u00a0you wash your rags.\u00a0It’ll\u00a0leave behind a film when you clean your glass.<\/p>\n

Lots of people swear by using newspaper to clean glass, but I disagree. In my experience, newspaper practically disintegrates the moment it hits wet glass. Plus, the ink gets all over your hands if you aren’t wearing gloves.<\/p>\n
