If you're still keen on using a newspaper to clean windows, it's important that you wear gloves to avoid ink transferring onto your hands. Start by spraying your cleaner of choice (consider a professional solution or a mix of vinegar and water), then work in a circular motion to lift grime. (It also doesn't hurt to clean your windows first thing in the morning so the liquid can't evaporate too quickly and leave streaks behind.) Of course, when it comes to cleaning windows, that's not all the news that's fit to print. As for all those extra newspapers, there are plenty of clever ways to repurpose them around the house and garden.
