Save money and help the environment by making your own window cleaner. In addition, you can recycle newspapers instead of buying paper towels. And you can also use an old spray (Windex) bottle by pouring your homemade solution into it. Just be sure to write in black marker on the spray bottle to include the ingredients.

Tips & Warnings
  • These ingredients are environmental friendly and healthier than harsh chemicals like ammonia.
  • Rinse the old spray bottle so that the wrong chemicals aren’t mixed.
  • You will get plenty of black ink from the paper on your hand, but it washes off easily, just don’t touch anything white!
  • Be careful you may run into a window or door glass thinking it is open, because it is so clean!
