Tim I share your concern about glass cleaners. Some contain vinegar. Here we spend all the time to get acid-free materials, and then we get vinegar that close to the print. Or doesn't it matter? Well, I had to reframe a bunch of prints for a show, a few months back. Some had been in these frames and behind glass for up to 10 years. I have always used Windex to clean the glass. When I took the prints out, I saw, what I would call 'fog' on the glass. A clear imprint of where the print was, then a less fogged area around the border of the print, and then nothing where the over-mat touched the glass. I took a picture of it and can email that to who is interested. Needless to say, I don't use Windex alone anymore. I clean the 'cleaned' glass with distilled water afterwards, hoping to get the Windex residue off. The alcohol idea should work to though. Regards Ralph W.
