Newspaper for window cleaning
Reading Time: < 1 minute

The prevalent belief that newspapers are particularly good for cleaning mirrors and windows has some basis in reality. There was a time when newspapers indeed acted as an efficient cleaning medium. However, over time, the makeup of newspapers has changed. Consequently, if you’ve recently been using newspapers to clean your windows, you might have observed that the results weren’t as optimal. Indeed, the current usage of newspapers for your windows and mirrors could result in increased smearing and potentially weaken their original state.

Tip: Instead, use a multipurpose window glass surface cleaner to effectively remove stains on windows and mirrors. You could first use the window glass surface cleaner to clean the high areas of the windows/mirrors before using a glass cleaning cloth to complete the whole cleaning to dry the area that is not wiped.
