[net.consumers] Glass cleaner/windshield cleaner/another option

stanwyck@ihuxr.UUCP (Don Stanwyck) (09/26/84)

Yet another solution, one that is used frequently by restaurants
(i.e. all the restaurants that my wife and I have ever worked in)
and other places:
	put about 1 part white vinegar to 7 to 10 parts water
	in a spray bottle, and let fly. 
It cleans as well as windex(tm) or any other cleaner we have come across.

For an extra bright shine on your glass, use newspaper (the more newsprint
the better) to wipe the windows you have sprayed with the above solution.

Have you ever noticed that neither Windex nor the auto windshield
washer fluids do a good job of removing that stubborn film that tends
to collect on your windshield in the winter time?  I learned a trick
many years ago watching a cross-country truck driver at a truck stop.
He used a can of Coca-Cola (tm) and poured it on the windshield.
That stuff really cuts the film, and your cheap washer fluid works much
better after that!  Not exactly cheap, but interesting ...
