How to Green Clean Windows With White Vinegar

Dirty windows are a nuisance. People can't see out when the windows are filthy. Many people don't like to use synthetic chemicals to clean windows so vinegar is a great alternative. Using vinegar is also a green way to clean. Distilled white vinegar is best for cleaning windows. This is a green solution that won't hurt animals or children if they happen to get a hold of it. Just follow these simple steps.

Things You'll Need

• Spray bottle
• 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1/2 tsp dish soap
• Newspapers

Instructions

1. Make a green solution out of two cups of water, 1/4 cup of distilled white vinegar and about 1/2 tsp of regular dish washing liquid. The dish soap is a necessary ingredient, especially if you have used store bought chemicals previously. Those chemicals can leave a waxy film. Using the dish soap helps eliminate that film.

2. Mix all of the ingredients together well.

3. Pour the solution into a spray bottle. Be sure to label the bottle so that everyone knows what is in it.

4. Spray the dirty windows with plenty of the solution. Using crumpled up newspapers, rub the cleaner on the window.

5. Wipe the windows clean and dry with more newspaper. You can also use paper towels, but sometimes they cause streaking. Using old newspapers recycles a little more and doesn't produce any more waste. Using old newspapers is also cheaper than buying several rolls of paper towels.

Tips & Warnings

• Using these ingredients is inexpensive, not to mention that it is better for the environment. Families with young children like using products that they know won't hurt their children.
