Wash Windows

Our Recommended Method:
Use lint-free cloths, strong paper towels, or chamois cloth to clean small windows or windows with small panels. If your windows are only slightly dirty, use only clear water. For dirty windows, use a commercial glass spray.

Natural Solution:
If you prefer to use a homemade solution, mix 2 cups water with 2 cups rubbing alcohol and 1/2 cup ammonia. Then, put the mixture in a spray bottle. Start at the top and work first across and then down. Rub away streaks with crumpled newspapers.
