Paper Power

As a child, I remember we used to go camping at the home of a family friend who lived in the Hokianaga Habour. One summer she employed my sister and I as child labour to clean her windows. To my surprise we used only newspaper and water but with only a moderate amount of elbow grease the windows shone.
So today, after frustration over fly spots on my new french doors, we went rummaging in the recycling bin.
I'm sure my grandmothers never used window sprays around their home, so why pay good money for something you can essentially do for free, and with the same amount of effort! I think newspaper is here to stay.
