Glass and Newspaper?
Can someone tell me the technical reason why newspaper cleans glass so very well?
I’ve long given up on Windex etc. Now I just wipe the inside of my windscreen with wet newspper and polish it with dry newspaper. Each and every time it removes all of the crud and leaves a streak free finish.
Why is this so??????????????

Newspaper is lint-free, the printer’s ink contains volatile solvents.

I would think it has to do with the fibrous nature of newsprint. It soak up oils and does not fall apart to streak the glass.

I notice the same thing on my windows. I think there may be a slight lubricant in the ink. Hey, it works. That’s the main thing.

I hate using newspaper for windows. It takes two times longer. Sparkle or Glass Plus, with a cheap paper towel works as well and quicker. Cheap paper towel is not full of lint.
Drop of Dawn dish soap in a gallon of water, wring out rag, wipe, then dry with non lint rag, such as a polishing rag, also works great and less tideous.
