The Easiest Way to Clean Mirrors and Windows

Glass furniture and mirrors can be buffed up in seconds with just an old damp newspaper. For very dirty surfaces, you might need to use some water diluted with washing-up liquid and applied with a sponge, then wiped and buffed dry with an old newspaper (damp) or micro fibre cloth. To stop a bathroom mirror steaming up, rub shaving foam over it, then buff off.

Do you know that to have sparkling windows, all you need to do is dilute vinegar with water and damp the newspaper with it. Nothing beats a good shine from a crumpled newspaper. You don't really need all those cleaning liquids from all those commercials. (Although they wouldn't let you know that!) Try this out for yourself first. It works every time. In this time of economic crisis, everybody needs a practical tip as this.

I would never have thought to use an old crumpled newspaper. I will give this a try. Also, the shaving cream to prevent the mirror from fogging. Thanks for the tips:)
