Make Heavy Duty Glass Cleaner

A super heavy duty glass cleaner that leaves your glass spotless, cuts grease on appliances and saves you a lot of money.

Why buy brand name products when you can make them at home cheaper and without all the unnecessary additives that manufacturers put in them?

We all have things we'd rather spend our money on than making those corporate guys rich.

You will find helpful links at the end of this article for keeping your household clean at a fraction of the cost along with free tips for getting those chores done.

So go ahead and start mixing to save!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/3 cup household ammonia
  • 1/4 cup plain white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice concentrate
  • 6 cups distilled water
  • clean, empty milk jug for mixing and storing
  • clean, empty spray bottle, labeled accordingly
  • funnel
  1. Step 1

    Mix ingredients in jug, do not shake, but stir contents well.

  2. Step 2

    Using a funnel, pour the cleaner into a clean spray bottle.

  3. Step 3

    Use on glass, stove tops, refrigerators, on the outside of dishwashers, etc. or wherever a degreaser is needed.

  4. Step 4

    If you find it is a bit rich, be sure to rinse any food preparation areas and dry with a clean dish towel or other lint-free cloth.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have sensitive skin, wear protective vinyl household gloves while mixing or using product
  • If you find the smell is too strong, add more lemon juice, up to 3 tablespoons
  • The new microfiber cloths work excellent for cleaning and drying glass and other surfaces.
  • Never mix with household bleach
  • Spot test questionable surfaces such as marble counter tops, porcelain sinks, etc in an inconspicuous place
  • If you have a breathing disorder such as asthma or COPD, please wear a safety mask when using product. Also, open windows or doors to make sure there is adequate ventilation in the area you are working.
  • Keep out of reach of children!
