DIY Window Cleaner | Green Cleaning

"Homemade window cleaner is a staple of DIY green cleaners. You don’t need toxic chemicals to get squeaky-clean and streak-free windows. It’s great for all kinds of glass and it only takes a couple of minutes to make. This natural window cleaner is a powerful replacement for the ammonia-filled cleaner you may be used to."

Step 1

Start by measuring one cup of distilled water. Distilled water prolongs the shelf life of homemade window cleaner, but tap water can be used as well.

Step 2

Next, add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar for its antibacterial properties and 2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. The rubbing alcohol disinfects and evaporates quickly, leaving your windows and mirrors streak-free. Then incorporate your favorite essential oils.  

Step 3

Now label your window cleaner and start enjoying your beautiful clean windows.
