Windex

Submitted by Debs Recipes

"A little different than the other homemade window cleaners posted here, this solution works great and I've saved a lot of money over the years using it!"

 

• Ready In: 2mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 1 gallon

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons ammonia
• 1 teaspoon liquid dishwashing soap
• 1 pint rubbing alcohol
• water
• blue food coloring (optional)

directions

1. Combine ammonia, dishwashing soap, and alcohol in a one gallon bottle; then add almost one gallon water to fill the bottle; a few drops blue food coloring may be added to make your homemade Windex look store-bought.
2. Fill spray bottles with Windex for cleaning interior mirrors and glass surfaces; just use a rag to wipe and shine.
3. This solution also works well for washing exterior windows. When doing so I like to wash them out of direct sunlight to avoid streaks, then finish the job by polishing each window with wadded up newspaper.
