Bruce asks: I’ve heard that the best method to clean glass is to use newspaper - how do I do this Auntie Flo?

Auntie Flo: These days, microfibre cloths are very popular for glass cleaning, but I find that it can still be difficult to get rid of smearing and streaks on the glass.

Using newspaper usually gives great results and here’s why. Newspapers are good at cleaning glass because the paper leaves very little lint behind. Compared to paper towels, newsprint is much more rigid and hence the fibres don’t separate. It is important that only ordinary newspaper should be used as other papers often contain minerals like silica which can scratch glass.

Here’s how I clean glass: Divide a newspaper in two, fold up one half into a small square and wet in cold water. Rub the glass first with the wet half of the paper, and dry it with the dry half. Fly specks and all other marks will disappear as if by magic and it works even better if a little of my favourite cleaning ingredient, vinegar, is added to the water!
