Heavy Duty Homemade Window Cleaner
Materials
- 1 pint rubbing alcohol
- 2 tablespoons cleaning ammonia
- 2 tablespoons dishwashing liquid
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and pour into a glass spray bottle like this one.
- Once you have your cleaner ready to go, it's time to get to work! Begin by generously spraying your glass surface.
- Wet your Viva Vantage towel with some water and scrub the window in a circular motion. It should create a soapy solution. Use some muscle to scrub off stubborn dirt and grime.
- Starting at the top of the door, use a squeegee in a right to left motion to remove the soapy water. Then use another Viva Vantage towel to buff out any leftover smudges.
Notes
- Ventilation: When using cleaning products like rubbing alcohol and cleaning ammonia, ensure the area is well-ventilated. Open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate, especially if you're working indoors. This helps to minimize exposure to potentially strong fumes and ensures a safer cleaning environment.
- Proper Mixing: When combining the ingredients for the window cleaner, ensure they are thoroughly mixed to create a homogeneous solution. This ensures that each component contributes effectively to the cleaning process, resulting in a more efficient and satisfactory outcome.
- Technique Matters: Pay attention to your cleaning technique to achieve the best results. Using a circular motion with a dampened towel helps to loosen dirt and grime effectively. When using the squeegee, start from the top and work your way down in a systematic manner to prevent streaks and ensure thorough cleaning. Buffing with a clean towel afterward helps to achieve a streak-free shine for your windows.
