I’m definitely not someone who makes a ton of her own cleaning products (I talk more about this where I share my favorite household cleaners!).
I’ve experimented with different recipes in the past—I use my multi-purpose cleaner for just about everything—but there’s certain brands I stick with because they work, and work really well. Why mess witha good thing, right?
Well, a couple months ago when I ran out of Windex, I decided to try my hand at a homemade solution. Not because it was cheaper, necessarily {although it totally is}, more so because I was simply lazy. I didn’t want to drive to the store just so I could finish cleaning the bathrooms!
This recipe uses just three ingredients, and all of them are found right at home. It also cleans MUCHbetter than Windex. Whereas the blue liquidleft me with streaky windows,this one leaves absolute nothing but sparkling glass panesbehind. It goes on a little cloudy, but then magically wipes clear—it’s pretty amazing stuff!
I guarantee that once you try it, you’ll never go back to the store-bought window cleanersagain. I mean…why would you even want to when they’re this cheap, and this good??
Supplies Needed:
- 3 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp rubbing alcohol
- Approximately 1 1/2 cups water
- 16oz bottle (these are SO cute!)
The Project:
Step 1:Pour vinegar and rubbing alcohol into 16oz spray bottle using a funnel. Otherwise it gets a little messy!
Step 2:Fill bottle with water and shake to mix.
Step 3: Clean those dirty windows and mirrors!
