Homemade Window Cleaner For Windows That Sparkle

Today many people are choosing a homemade window cleaner although there are many commercial cleaning products available on the market.

This is because it is less expensive, nontoxic and made from ingredients they already have in their own kitchen cupboards.

No matter how neat and clean your home is, when the windows are dirty or streaky, it takes away from the overall appearance of your place.

Many people have tried a window cleaner made of vinegar and water, to clean their windows. They were disappointed because they found this streaked the glass. That is because some of the commercial products leave a wax buildup on the windows that vinegar does not always cut through.

To solve this problem, simply mix half a teaspoon of liquid detergent or soap, a quarter cup of vinegar and two cups of water in a spray bottle. Spray your windows and wipe with paper towel or newspaper for streak-free windows.

Never clean your windows with the sun shining on them because the sun dries the cleaner too quickly, leaving streaks.

If you want to try a homemade window cleaner, here are several different cleaners you can make at home.
