      Really? With the cornstarch? I would think it would maybe cause a film. But it doesn’t?

    Cornstarch was used in the era of great grandparents. It worked amazingly well to cut through the film on the windows. Drying with newspaper left them sparkling.

    Hi Darlene, I use a bucket with vinegar and water, and a car squeegee on a an extendable pole, the sponge scrubs the grime and the squeegee leaves no streaks if you wipe it after each pass.
