Homemade Window and Glass Cleaner

Temperatures are freezing cold one day and the next you just need a sweater.

To help us save what we can on heating {because it is so expensive out here} we are going to put the clear plastic over the drafty windows. But first I need to make sure those windows are clean! How glum would that be to look out dirty windows trapped behind plastic until Spring?

All window and glass cleaning solutions that I have heard about growing up and read on the internet are escensially the same

Basic:
Water and Vinegar
Variables: Dish Soap, Cornstarch, Rubbing Alcohol and essential oils to cover up the vinegar smell

I found that this solution works best for me
  • 2 C. Hot water
  • abt. 1/4 C. Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspsoon Dish soap *optional {best used on the outside where you can spray off the excess suds with water}
Start by mixing the first three ingredients together. Pour into a spray bottle and go to town.

Don't judge me by my windows, only after you see how great and clean they can get.

I tried my best to get a photo of my dirty kitchen windows after Lady A helps me with dishes. Can you see the huge difference that made. I made a second batch of cleaner to do the outside {our windows fold in so I can wash the outside while staying inside}. You can see the little bit of green on the trees and everything looks more crisp from the clean windows.

For outside windows add dish soap to the mix. Do not shake or you will have to wait for the bubble to go down before pouring into a spray bottle, unless using in a bucket with a sponge or squeegee. Increase the amount of solution as needed to cover all windows. After washing rinse off with water...then stand back and admire just how clean they are!!!
