A Room With A View (10/17/08)

For sparkling windows without side effects, clean panes inside and out with a mixture of 1/2 cup of white vinegar to 3 cups of warm water applied with a spray bottle.  Use a squeegee to remove excess liquid, and buff the window dry with a soft cloth or newspaper.  It often takes a couple of applications for a completely streak-free finish, as the waxes in any commercial products you may have used previously take some time to remove.  (Joanna Yarrow)
