Creating a homemade glass and window cleaner is a quick and cost-effective alternative to commercial products. All you need are three simple ingredients – rubbing alcohol (or vodka), vinegar, and distilled water. Follow these easy steps to make your DIY glass cleaner:
1. Gather Your Ingredients:
Using a funnel for convenience, measure half a cup of rubbing alcohol (or vodka) and add it to a 16-ounce spray bottle. Follow this with a third of a cup of vinegar.
2. Top It Off with Water:
To avoid mineral deposits on glass surfaces, choose distilled water to fill the spray bottle. Add the water until the bottle is full.
3. Seal, Shake, and Label:
Seal the spray bottle and give it a gentle shake to mix the ingredients. Label the bottle clearly to distinguish it from other cleaners under your sink.
4. Usage Tips:
Apply the homemade cleaner to glass and mirror surfaces using a microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish. You can also use it on stainless steel surfaces, but always conduct a small spot test first.
By making your own glass and window cleaner, you not only save money but also contribute to a more eco-friendly cleaning routine. This simple yet effective solution ensures your windows and mirrors gleam without the use of harsh chemicals found in commercial window cleaners.
