I went to a home party and purchased a set of "window cloths". The first cloth has imbedded silver in the fibers. All I do is wet that cloth with warm water and wash the window - then dry with the other cloth. I did not believe it would work, but after I used them - I was sold on them. I have given them as gifts to many friends who have been just as amazed as I was. No more chemicals or paper towels. I'm a NEW WOMAN. LOL

I had to use cloth diapers for our three kids, because there were no disposables. Cloth diapers do not absorb, even doubled as much as the cheap disposables.

I bought used diapers to clean my eye glasses. My youngest is 48.

For windows and car windows I pour some window cleaner in a pail, dip a rag in, wring out and dry with an old hand towel.
I used cloth diapers, the plain old-fashioned flat kind for all of my children, and I thought they worked wonderfully. I always double diapered and never had a problem with absorbency.

I had cloth diapers left from when the kids were little -- we used them for dust cloths and windows. Since we moved I can't find them so I use the yellow microfiber things from Costco and they work ok with the foaming window cleaner.

I love microfiber towels, but do notice loose micro fibers are always left behind whenever I dry or polish a smooth surface.

I use Karcher window washer, fast and non streak and I also use for mirrored wardrobes and shower stall. I have two German Shepherds who like nose art and a two year only grandaughter.

Go to www.kaywos.com I have purchased the kaywos cloth. You use only water and you don't have to dry. when you wet it you have to wring it out really dry. I've been using the same cloth for 4 years. Love it.

This sounds funny but I use furniture polish on mine. Spray once and rub it around . Then use a cloth to ploish it clean. I also use it on my mirrors.

My method is Windex spray and then wipe with local newspaper crumpled up. It get the windows sparkling clean with now streaks and I recycle that pasty newspaper.

I also used cloth diapers on my kids. I have 4 kids. My 2 oldest couldn't really wear the disposables. They would break out from them. I could only use them on occasion. I am sure they have improved them since then. By the time I got to my youngest daughter, the older kids were in to sport etc. She did wear a few more disposables than the others . SO easy to wash diapers.
I am sadly out of my cloth diapers and have considered buying more. My youngest is 25. I love my micro fiber cloths. To keep from getting the fibers on your windows, the micro fiber cloths need to be washed separately from anything. Pretty much everything sticks to them.

I agree, washing a load of diapers 2-3 times per week never put a clamp on my lifestyle. My youngest is only 4 years older than your youngest.

Thank you for the tip on laundering microfiber cloths. Will start doing them on their own now.
