apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Thanks for the great tip! Also, does anyone know where I can find a mirror like that? It is exactly what I've been looking for!

Wouldn't the ink from the newspaper get on the mirror? or does the use of vinegar prevent this from occurring?

SJwashere,
I grew up using newspaper and vinegar to wash windows and mirrors, and while your hands may get a little inky, the glass does not.

I prefer to recycle the papers and use a microfiber cloth on the glass. Or a squeegie. Or a combo. Newspaper is lintless but not very absorbent.

By all means, though, lose the paper towels.

Thanks Shelly :)

Now the trend in printing inks for newspapers is to use water based inks. This allows newer and different types of pigments to be used too. These papers don't contain the oil of the older conventional inks and consequently are less likely to stain or smear a mirror or window.
