We are back with another cleaning recipe, this one for your windows and mirrors! Traditional window cleaners contain toxic and harmful chemicals. Trade out your store bought cleaner for a homemade cleaning solution that utilizes common household products. The below recipe is suitable for windows, mirrors, and glass surfaces.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of distilled water
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- 1/4 cup of isopropyl -rubbing- alcohol (at least 70% concentration)
- 1-2 drops of essential oil (optional, for a pleasant scent)
Other Required Items
- Newspaper or a lint free cloth
- Clean spray bottle
Recipe
- In a clean spray bottle, combine the distilled water, white vinegar, and rubbing alcohol. The vinegar helps break down grease and grime while the alcohol helps the mixture evaporate quickly, reducing streaks.
- If you’d like to add a pleasant scent to your window cleaner, you can add 1-2 drops of essential oil at this point. Lemon, lavender, or tea tree oil are popular choices for window cleaners.
- Screw the spray nozzle onto the bottle and gently shake to mix the ingredients.
- To use the natural window cleaner, spray it onto the glass surface you want to clean.
- Wipe the glass with a lint-free cloth or newspaper in a circular or zigzag motion until the glass is clean and streak-free.
- For stubborn spots or residue, you can spray a bit more of the solution directly on the problem area and then wipe it clean.
- Enjoy your clean, non-toxic and streak free windows!
