What is the best way to get latex paint over spray off of windows?

Over spray is easy to remove without chemical agents. A straight edge razor will suit this job perfectly. Hold the razor on an angle against the glass and just push/scrape the paint right off. You may want to first put newspaper or paper towels on the windowsill to catch the scrapings.


I have tried this and it is easy. Any chemical agents will just soften the paint on your freshly painted window and smear all the paint over the window, making a time consuming mess to get the window clean.

Goof Off, which smells like turpentine and a little goes a very long way, but it gets anything off of anything. Or you could use a single edge razor blade if the paint is dried. That is a really easy way to scrape paint off.What is the best way to get latex paint over spray off of windows?
By gently using a razor blade knife up and down on the glass until it feels smooth, then washing the window.
