Glass & Window Cleaner Recipes

Take a trip down the cleaning product aisle in the grocery store. According to all those commercials on TV, you need a separate cleaning product for just about every surface in your home. One to clean windows, one to clean mirrors, another to clean linoleum, another to clean tile. For the most part, this is simply not true. If you understand the properties of the surface you are cleaning, you can get by with not more than three unique cleaning products, and better yet, you can make homemade cleaning products to clean just about every surface with the supplies you likely have in your home right now. Making your own cleaning products is smart and frugal. It also saves you time and you'll have an endless supply of cleaning products. You won't have to run back to the store for that one cleaning product you just ran out of.

Making your own cleaning products mean that you'll also know exactly what is in them. Natural cleaning products are much more environmentally friendly than the commercial cleaning products at the grocery store.

So stock up on your own cleaning supplies with our own homemade cleaning recipes and solutions and you'll be on your way to having a fresh, totally clean home.

Glass Cleaner & Window Cleaners

• 1 qt vinegar
• 1 cup lemon ammonia
• 24 oz Windex

Combine these ingredients into an empty one gallon container. Shake to mix, then add water to top it off. Pour into a spray bottle, now you are ready to start washing those windows

Homemade Vinegar Glass Window Cleaners

Mix in a spray bottle:

• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water

Mix the water and vinegar together in a spray bottle. You can use this spray to clean your countertops, stove top, as well as the windows and the mirrors. Vinegar is acidic and it will cut grease, dissolve soap scum and hard water deposits. It leaves no residue, is a natural deodorizer and it kills mold and mildew too.

As with any other cleaning product, do not use vinegar on marble or other stone floors. Its acidic nature will damage the surface and actually permanently etch and dissolve the marble floor surface

Homemade Rubbing Alcohol Glass Window Cleaner

Mix in a spray bottle:

• 1 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) evaporates, and leaves no residue. It provides the base for an evaporating glass cleaner that stands strong next to any commercial glass cleaning product. You can use this window cleaning spray recipe to clean not only windows and glass, but mirrors, shine your chrome fixtures, and even on stainless steel.

Homemade Ammonia Glass Window Cleaner

Mix in a spray bottle:

• 1 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon clear, non-sudsing ammonia

Ammonia is a strong alkaline. Using this recipe with ammonia is a stronger version of the cleaning recipe that contains vinegar.
