Some people recommend using a microfiber cloth and newspaper with a classic window cleaning solution, which you can purchase over the counter. Another option is a one-part vinegar, one-part\u00a0 water solution. In other words, you can create your own window cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do window cleaners work in the winter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, window cleaners do work during all seasons!
