Default Cleaning the Inside of the Windshield

Does anyone know an easy way to clean the inside of the windshield? It's very awkward to do, and most times I wind up missing a few spots. I've seen the thing they sell on t.v., but I'm not spending $20 on some plastic do-hickey. How do you clean yours?

A towel, a face cloth, a coffee filter, and Windex.

The towel is for the dash, I spray down the entire thing (after removing the mirror), use the facecloth to 'scrub' and clean, half-dry with....

I 'buff' it with a coffee filter.... no lint that way.

Windshield cleaner, Eagle Eye I think is the name, and some news papers.

Windex or ammonia & water, and newspapers. Newspaper is the best thing for cleaning glass because it doesn't leave behind lint and it doesn't streak, usually.

I only use vinegar and water and newspaper. It leaves no streaks and its cheap. I think I will try coffee filters next time, too.

It IS very awkward to clean the inside of the windshield! I have to be in the right frame of mind before I can deal with it!

All I use is a few paper towels and some Windex. If I really don't feel like finding the Windex or I have run out I'll just use some water.

There is a gizmo you can buy to make this chore easier? I'd LOVE to know what it is. I would gladly pay $20 to make that chore a breeze. (I'd probably have a cleaner windshield too!)

The inside of my windshield has been driving me crazy. No matter how I clean it, a film returns with in 24 hours. What could be causing that?

I just get in there and clean it. It's not a great fit but I'm not paying $20 for some "as seen on TV" product to make it easier. I use windex and paper towels.
