Homemade Glass and Window Cleaner

By TheresaJ

Is your glass cleaner giving you the blues? The original Windex formulation contains ammonia and some sort of blue stuff. The label says “keep out of reach of children” and “do not mix with other household cleaners”. At $3.77 for a 765mL bottle of blue, I’ll take a shining to my pet friendly, child friendly, and wallet friendly alternative any day of the cleaning week.

Ingredients

• 1 . Mix one part hot water with one part vinegar in a reusable spray bottle.
• 2 . Got More Grime: Add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid to the mix for tougher grease. If the soap streaks, use fewer suds.
• 3 . Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth to avoid paper waste.

Preparation

Step 1

Cleaning Cost: Generic white vinegar is $2.57 for a 4L container with a unit cost of $0.064 per 100mL. A 765mL bottle of Windex cleans your bank balance at $3.77 with a unit cost of $0.493 per 100mL.
