Notes

Deb's Tips

If you’ve ever struggled with streaky windows or mirrors, here’s a simple trick—ditch the paper towels and grab some newspaper instead! Newspapers work surprisingly well because they don’t leave behind lint or streaks like cloth or towels can. Paired with the homemade window and glass cleaner, it glides smoothly across the surface, absorbing moisture and grime for a crystal-clear shine. Plus, it’s easy to repurpose old newspapers before recycling them!
