I know using paper towels for glass cleaning is in some circles is TABOO:o
But i cant get my glass really clean and streak free with out them, i used the glass microfibers only towels and the green towels marked for glass only, but they just don't do it for me, there just to me a prelude to the paper towel LS

I dont use paper towels on the tint glass , just the exterior glass.....

So if im going to use paper towels........any suggestions on the best ones to use????
 
I use newspaper on my windows that are not tinted and my glass looks great with no streaks.
 
I use the blue shop towels you can get from places like Autozone, they don't lint nearly as much (or at all, really) and are thicker and more absorbent.

Thanks guys.... blue shop towels come in a roll??
 
Yeah, they call them "shop towels" but they really just look like blue paper towels. When you unroll them you can tell the difference - they are pretty thick and don't tear easily.
 
Bill....I got some surgical Huck towels..and they are the best towels I have used on glass....no streaks and really absorbent...do a google search on them..they are cheap...

But for paper towels if thats what you want...I have used the bulk size ones they use in the washrooms to dry your hands with....made by scotts I think...and they do work nice...no linting also...one roll will last a year they are so big....I have seen them at costco in a box of 8 rolls....thats enough for a few years if you use just for glass...lol....

I found the blue shop towels to be too grabby when using them on glass. Its a bit annoying. I find the regular kitchen towels like brawny or whatever to work better. They're good general purpose cleaning towels otherwise though, always keep a roll in the garage.

Two thumbs up . . .

Glass Cleaning Process:
Use dedicated Lint-Free Surgical Towels (Huck towels) they have a tight cotton herringbone weave that is ideal for hard surfaces like glass (http://) Fold both towels’ (one for washing, one for drying) in half and then half again Mist the glass surface with 1:1 ratio of distilled white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. As with all chemicals they must be allowed a certain amount of time to work (dwell) so leave area to soak for a few minutes and then start on the next glass surface, agitate the first area with the towel, dry the glass with the second towel by agitating in the opposite direction than that used in the cleaning, and repeat for second glass surface and etc. For each section of glass use a clean side of the folded towel

Always wash Lint-Free Surgical Towels separately and do not use fabric softeners but add a teaspoon per towel distilled white vinegar in place of a softener, the vinegar doesn't coat the fibres but instead works to eliminate detergent residue and the acid counteracts any alkaline minerals in the water supply. Vinegar (Acetic acid, pH=2) works well in the rinse cycle to make your towels softer. Detergent is an alkaline (pH=12, the opposite of acidic on the pH scale).
 
my mother always swore by a linen napkin and a good spray cleaner (Sprayway). I find WW MF perfect but I keep them in ziplock bags when not in use.
