Does cleaning glass with newspaper scratch the glass?

Answer 1

Newspaper is printed on special paper Called "newsprint." It is a cousin to paper towels, which weren't invented until much later. People found that newspaper cleaned glass better than a cloth rag, even if it had news ink on it. Actually, it works better than those towelettes that we have nowadays. To use newspaper for cleaning glass, use a weak solution of vinegar and water or ammonia and water. Spray the solution lightly on the glass, then wad the newspaper up and use like a paper towel. The glass will be much cleaner than you expect... and it's cheaper than window cleaner.

Answer 2

Newspaper filaments tend to be smaller than cloth. Cloth filaments are relatively large, giving them more surface area, which makes them more useful for soaking up water. This is why you need "microfiber" cloths to clean glasses. Microfiber cloths should do well for cleaning windows as well, but newspapers tend to be cheaper and larger, so they're easier to use.

Answer 4

Cleaning glass with newspaper can be effective because the ink acts as a mild abrasive, helping to remove dirt and grime. However, there is a risk of scratches if the newspaper is too rough or abrasive. It's best to use a soft, clean cloth or microfiber towel for cleaning glass to avoid any potential scratching.
