Cleaning windows was not a fav. chore of mine until I came
across this window cleaner recipe! Game.
Changer. Cleaning windows is a breeze
now! Perfect streak- free shine*
water
1 pint isopropyl alcohol 99% (rubbing)
2 tablespoon clear ammonia
1 teaspoon Dawn dish soap
1 drop blue food coloring* optional
drops of essential oil *optional
Instructions
Fill gallon jug 3/4 full with water.
Add alcohol, ammonia, and dish detergent. A funnel is
helpful when adding the rubbing alcohol.
Add 1 drop of blue food coloring and a couple drops of
essential oil . I like lemon! So
refreshing. These are optional, but the blue color helps distinguish the window
cleaner from a spray bottle filled with water and essential oil is to cover up
the very slight bit of ammonia smell.
Fill remaining space in the jug with water, leaving about 2
inches from the top empty.
Replace lid and gently shake the jug to evenly distribute
the contents.
Using a funnel, fill the spray bottle with a cleaning
solution and clean away!
For hard to clean outside windows:
2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol to 2 quarts of HOT water.
Use a sponge to apply the cleaner and then a squeegee or dry cotton rag to dry
it streak-free. If there are still tough hard water stains, use undiluted white
vinegar and let it sit on the window for a few minutes before wiping it
off.
*Clean windows early in the morning before they are heated
up by the sun. A hot window, or a window in direct sunlight, is next to
impossible to clean. No matter how good the window cleaner is, they will
streak. Make sure you schedule in the morning or evening when the sun isn’t
going to be an issue.
Use the right towel for the job. A microfiber glass cleaning cloth,lint-free cotton cloth or squeegee will make the job easier and faster. Avoid paper towels or newspapers since they scratch windows and leave streaks.
