Mix 1/2 cup of white distilled vinager,
2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of a natural liquid dish soap in a spray bottle. Spray on glass and wipe with a soft cloth.
Use 1 cup of vinegar in a 3/1 solution 1 c vinegar to 3 cups water, put into a sprayer bottle, use newspapers as you would paper towels. Spray on windows and wipe with newspaper, results in sparkeling windows.
Use anything to spritz on the window – but definitely use a squeegie to wipe them clean – sparkling and no streaks – just like the car windshield.
Get an empty, clean spray bottom (you can purchase one rather inexpensively at the local dollar store, or any store). Pour equal amounts of 1/2 vinegar, and 1/2 water in the bottle. Ball up a newspaper page (preferable one without color on it). Spray your vinegar/water mixture on your window/mirror. Wipe clean with your newspaper. There you have it! No streaks, and clean as a whistle!
white vinegar works as well as expensive glass cleaners, and it is better for the environment without all the artificial chemicals.
For streak-free wiping, use newspaper, or coffee filters, in lieu of paper towels!
Cleaning Tip:
Rubbing Alcohol – Isopropyl Alcohol is the best cleaner I have found for mirrors, window glass, car windows and windshields.
It cuts through grime and mineral stains, – drys with no streaking.
Try it – - you will thank me, guaranteed !!
Using a healthy squirt of Prell Shampoo in your spray bottle or by the bucketful is great for washing your windows inside or out and smells very clean also.
Use equal parts water, white vinegar and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Dry with newspaper or non-linting paper towels. Use on windows, inside and out as well as on mirrors.
I fill a clean bucket with the hottest water I can stand. I then add just a few drops of liquid dish soap. Use lint free rags. One to wash and one to dry. Wash windows when the sun is not shining right on the glass. For large windows do a section at a time. I wipe the inside in a horizontal direction and the outside with a vertical. This way if there are streaks you know what side they are on. I use this method to clean the windows on our classic show cars.
Works every time
Put dish soap on a wet rag, wash Windows then squeegee dry immediatly; do not rinse.
Thank you all
Hi to Pat and Kenneth Shull. I like youe rips for cleaning windows and about to try them in my new cleaning business. I cannot te;ll you hpw mch money Ohave used on expensive window cleaners and window wipes. Every solitary one leaves streaks and it drives me to distraction. Mind you I have just found one which smells fantastic (and thats important to me) and although its lousy on glass it does a great job on tiles and stainless steel…. Anyway, wish me luck and I shall be letting you know (if you are still around as your posts were a couple of years old…..
use white vinegar too. works very good
