to clean or not to clean…

[LauraJo]

I had always cleaned my glass with dish soap and water, wiped down with a lint free towel.  I took a class in June of this year with a prominent teacher and she told us that cleaning was NOT necessary since the firing would burn everything off…  Another student in the class had a small spray bottle with alcohol in it which he was using to clean his glass.  I have incorporated that idea into my regime.  Somehow the idea of not cleaning at all didn’t sit well with me… what if it didn’t burn off and I just wasted all that glass and time?  So, I use dish soap and water and now have a small spray bottle of alcohol for the stubborn oily prints.
