This is not about saving money, as store-bought window cleaning products are not expensive and last a long time. It’s about reducing the amount of chemicals used daily.
Solution for Lightly Dirty Windows
Windows that are just a bit dusty on the outside can easily be cleaned with a microfiber cloth soaked in warm water. However, for the best results, it’s better to make a homemade window cleaner that will be as effective as any store-bought product.
Pour half a glass of alcohol and one glass of vinegar into a bucket half filled with water. If you don’t need such a large quantity, you can halve the amounts and get the most natural window cleaning solution, enough to fill a spray bottle.
Don’t worry, the white vinegar won’t leave any smells. If you don’t like its smell while working, you can add a few drops of lemon juice to the solution, which will successfully neutralize the odors.
Tricks for Achieving the Best Results
Pour the solution into a plastic spray bottle. You can buy one at any plastic goods store, you have them in IKEA, or you can use an old, empty bottle from a store-bought window cleaner you previously purchased.
With the homemade window cleaner, you have practically a free product that you can use generously, which will certainly make cleaning very dirty windows easier.
If you have problems removing grease, often from the inside, or soot, which is common on busy city streets, there is another trick. Add a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to the window cleaning solution made according to the recipe provided here. In that case, lemon juice will not be necessary.
