Homemade Window Cleaner
Homemade Window Cleaners are a great way to save more as they are safe and more effective. Cleaners bought at the store costs $3-$4 compared to DIY glass cleaners for that costs around $0.33 to make. I find that when I use store-bought glass cleaners I don’t get that streak-free window. With the homemade version, I get streak-free windows every time.
If you are a fan of non-toxic cleaners, view the recipes below on how to make Homemade Window Cleaner.
Streak-Free Window Cleaner

1 cup water
1 cup rubbing alcohol

Scented Window Cleaner

2 cups water
2 tablespoons vinegar
10-15 drops essential oil (will help the vinegar smell)

Lemon Window Cleaner

½ of a lemon juiced

You can also use some mild dishwashing soap such as Dawn, water, and a squeegee to wash your windows. If you have larger windows or want to clean the outside of them, this method may be best for you.
