okay

so I just read about a "green" method for cleaning glasses...well..okay...I only read the story headline and lead, but anyway....here is the question

if everyone cleaned their glasses with salt, wouldn't that f'up the soil and water supply eventually

wouldn't that do damage by salinizing (is this a word) everything the chemicals in dish soap would supposedly contaminate?

I dunno...... do you have a link to the story..?? I'll check it out...

it's just a list of tips...tip #9

I do use baking soda and vinegar for somethings...cause it's cheapah!

probably harmless..... lots of salt out there already...

#1 Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

FWIW: I was a professional window cleaner for about five years. The best solution I could ever come up with or buy for cleaning windows was Joy dish washing soap and ammonia. Baking soda and vinegar are a wives' tale. So too is using newspaper to scrub or dry the window glass..

Van Morrison has a very neat little song about cleaning windows.

I just checked Youtube and couldn't find it, though.

I bought some stuff a while back that promised all I had to do was hook it up to the water hose and spary them down..... didn't work.... should have known better....

Sorry lluvia,

The only questions allowed concerning water are waterboarding. Wish I could help but I don't want to be banned.

Didn't you get the memo?

gringo- all I hear is blah blah blah where's my board...blah blah blah

LOL!

the 1st run through with vinegar is streaky because it starts to clear the residue from other stuff...after that comes off, the vinegar works great IMHO

I hate the smell of ammonia...I would probably accidently spill into bleach and kill my family

actually I think TW suggested using salt water for waterboarding...... wouldn't hurt so bad or something.... appartently he gives himself saltwater enimas all the time....

gross

ahahahahahhahhahahhahahha

Lluvia,

I think the salt is just meant for the abrasive quality. If you have pretty hard water (which most people do). Once in a while I use some lime-away on things that have a lot of calcium or water stains. Then just normal soap and water. I don't think constantly using salt would be good for the plumbing, I don't see anybody willing to replace your plumbing based on your efforts to go green..

Here is what your city says about your water...

Maybe one of these rocket scientists can translate.

BTW, I don't think lime-away is a "green" product, but it sure works well. Don't let the kids drink that stuff either.
