How to Use Vinegar for Cleaning Windows & Glass

Clean your windows and glass with vinegar.

Windows and glass surfaces are two areas that require regular cleaning, as the smallest amount of dirt or residue will leave the surface looking dirty and uncared for. Since this is a constant cleaning routine, commercial cleaning products become expensive. Instead of paying high prices for these retail products, consider making your own cleaner for glass and windows with a vinegar solution.

Things You'll Need

• Spray bottle
• Vinegar
• Water
• Dish soap
• Lint-free cloth

Instructions

1. Pour 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/2 tsp. liquid dish detergent into a spray bottle. Twist on the cap and shake the bottle to blend the cleaning ingredients.

2. Spray a light mist of the cleaning solution onto the windows or glass surface. Using only a light mist is important, as too much will create a thick film of cleaning solution that is hard to remove.

3. Wipe the glass clean using large circular motions. Use a lint-free cloth that will prevent small lint specs from transferring onto the surface of the glass or windows.
