I remember one of my old school friends, moms, used to use wadded-up newspaper and a mixture of vinegar and water to clean windows.

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.
Thank you for the link and review.
What all do you use the cloth on, other than windows and mirrors.

Well washing cloth diapers, using hot water, will use up water and power and cost as much as buying disposables in the long run. In the save the water areas that will be a priority. As for windows I had the new tilt windows installed. I can wash the inside and outside of the windows standing in front of the window. I wash one window a week so my windows stay clean all the time. The screens are easy to take off and DH sprays them clean every so often. All our windows are bare except the bedroom ones so they need to be clean or the whole room looks yucky.

My daughter born in 1967 was the first to try to use disposables. Didn't work. Those early ones were bulky and she was a delicate little thing. Windows? I like good old Windex - name brand only. That's one place I don't use generics. Well washed dish towels aren't too linty, nor are Sparkle paper towels.

Doesn't anyone else use the rubber blade on the squeegee? I have two of them; a short one for small windows and a 16 inch one for my 3 X 8 foot patio window. (Was a door in a previous life.) The squeegee removes 99% of the water. Then I use a small towel to clean up the drips around the edges and across the bottom. Washing windows is so fast and easy this way. I think the hardware store is where you go for a squeegee. My small one is made by Tupperware, but I don't think they make them anymore.
