Vinegar and newspaper to clean a windshield?

I use water and newspaper. then wipe it dry with a dry newspaper. Try this one it really works.

I have a car, but I have never used vinegar and newspaper to clean its windshield because I did know this way before, now I could try to do it later.

The printed newspaper definitely works. We do it all the time. Makes for chrystal clear and dry windows. It leaves none of those water drop stains. However, I've never used vinegar . . . seems like that is unnecessary. We just clean the glass with soap and water then dry with printed newspaper. Oy! It's a great day for washing cars. Another heat wave in Southern Cal.

The newsprint works. I use it to clean my computer screen as the commercial cleaners will remove the plastic. Also the one with the ink on it works as well. There is something in the ink that helps. Besides it is dried on so it does not leave black marks if that is what you are worrying about. We used to use the newsprint with the print on it, and the glass got really shiny. You have to be able to make sure the paper is just damp though.

I have heard that vinegar and newspaper is a good way to clean glass. Though it has been a very long time since I've used this process to clean windows. I have used the newspaper with the print on it to clean glass.

I use this all the time. I put a little vinegar in some water and wash my windows, mirrors, storm doors and my TV screen. I don't use the newspaper to wash them, I use a soft cotton cloth. But I do use the newspaper to dry them. It makes your windows shine. No streaks and no lint. Something else that is good to dry your glass with is coffee filters. They work really well. But I can't tell you if it works for a car windshield. I don't do windshields. :o) Nana

i have heard this before, its true...its all chemistry, and i hate that subject, so havent delved deeper

Years ago I worked in a cafe and we used the newspaper and vinegar to clean the windows. We used the paper with news print on them. The smell of vinegar didn't last very long. There was grease built up from the cooking. The news paper and vinegar would give them a nice shine. vinegar is goos for cleaning a lot of thing .

I'm not sure about windshield...but I use a glass cleaner with newspaper for glass surfaces and it comes out really clean. It doesn't get messy....the newsprint doesn't come off on the glass. I didn't believe it would work till I tried it myself around 3 years back and since then that's the only way I clean any glass surface.

Yes, and it is the printed on newspaper, not the blank. There is something in the ink that is a polish. Do not use the glossies from the paper, though. Hubby says it makes it shine good.

We used to have the newspaper delivered to our house and we have used it many times to clean windows, mirrors and car window's. I have heard about vinegar for cleaning glass but I can't recall using it before. But yes, we used the printed newspaper.

I never knew that.But once i visited a friend and she was cleaning her bathroom mirror with the use of paper towel and a mixture of water and vinegar.At first it smells sour but for a while it's gone and her mirror looks shiny and clear.That's for the vinegar....but newspaper...i can remember sometime during my elementary days.A friend's mother inserted a folded newspaper at my friends back.I was wondering then what that is for.Curiosity made me ask the mom,she said she use it to absorb sweat from my friends back.Regarding the newspaper print i don't think it scatters once wet.

My boyfriend used newpaper to clean my mirror for me. I had never seen anyone do that before. It got really clean. He told me he learned that a long time ago from someone when he was a window cleaner. So if the "professionals" believe that newspaper cleans glass then who am I to disagree. I don't know anything about the vinegar. I don't think I would use that smelly stuff.

we use water and news paper to clean our mirrors and windows and it doesn't leave a stain or any mark.it makes your mirror and window shiny

Newspaper and a vinegar water solution is awesome for cleaning windows. They get much cleaner than with windex or other solution.

It works very well. Newsprint and all.

reinydawn hi yes you use regular newpapers and vinegar in water, spray it on, and wipe it off with crumpled up newspapers, just your ordinary daily newpaper, itreally does work and does an excellent job too.It is an inexpensive way to clean your windows without spots all over them.

Well, that's news to me. I have used vinegar to clean my windows and mirrors, but I always used paper towels (or old diapers) to wipe them. If newspaper works this well, that's what I'll be using. We always have lots of newspaper!

I just use windex . but my dads mom use to clean all windows that way and they turned out so clean with no streaks . I just dont like the smell , so i hardly do it that way , but sometimes i will and there is such a difference

You can use newspaper that's been printed on. At the gas station I work at we have to clean the windows at the front of the store every day. The window cleaner that they had us using left a lot of streaks and it looked awful. So my manager and I used vinegar and some old newspapers and cleaned all the windows the other day. They actually looked pretty spiffy and were streak free!
