Best towels for window cleaning
What are you guys using for cleaning windows these days? I used to get these non lint towels at Murray's, but they dont have them anymore. And regular cotton towels leave the lint behind. havent tried microfiber yet, but thought i'd see if there is any other good options
Thanks

I like Huck Surgical towels...no lint at all.
MF glass towels tend to "cling" to the glass too much IMO.
The key is to always have a second clean dry towel to go back over the glass just before the cleaner evaporates. Otherwise you are just smearing all the crud around on the windows and it gets worse as you go. I usually use 3 towels on a car. One does the initial cleaning and the 2nd finishes it off to ensure streak free glass. I grab a new one after doing half the car.

CorsaCloth – a micro fibre glass cleaning Piqué weave cloth; that cleans almost anything, leaving a streak-free, spot-free, dust-free and lint-free finish. This weave has excellent absorption properties to reduce streaking yet scrubs away oily films and vinyl haze with ease. The key is to use friction to break the surface tension of the dirty film. The cloth scrubs the surface and conditions it for dirt removal.
The follow-up wipe removes the residue and renders the glass clean. This cloth will not scratch, however trapped grit or debris will cause scratches. This distinctive cloth cleans with plain water; it removes film, dirt, oil, grease, finger prints, dog nose prints, etc all without the use of chemicals.
For severe out gassing or the removal of stubborn grime; spray the glass surface (otherwise you are diluting the product strength) with 1:10 solution distilled water /Isopropyl alcohol and wipe with a clean cloth and the result is a crystal clear finish.

I wish I could tell you with certainty that the BOGO will still be available when the Einszett stock is replenished, but truthfully I cannot. I hope we can and might suggest a call on Monday to check ETA ...
