Use a Potato as Window Cleaner

My mother taught us to cut a potato, so we could rub the starch onto the window pane. Three reasons why this is a good method:

• You can tell if the window has actually been wiped; there will be white starch if you didn't get it all. It will turn black if you leave it on long enough.

• The starch traps in the grime, you don't have to worry about having to clean the sill because all the grime dripped from above.
• The starch is friendly to those who have allergies to cleaning fluids because of the scent or of skin irritations.
