Homemade All Natural Glass Cleaner Recipe

Commercial glass cleaners contain toxins including:
- Ammonia
- Hexoxyethanol 2
- Ammonium Hydroxide
- Mirapol Surf S-210
- Video EGMSODIUM
- Sodium C14-17 Sec-Alkyl SulfonatSynthetic
- Synthetic Fragrances
Why do we need to rely on all of these toxic ingredients when we have a choice. Making glass cleaner is very simple and takes only seconds. It is very inexpensive and put together using ingredients found in mostly any kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 cups water
Instructions:
1. Pour vinegar and water into a spray bottle. Shake well to mix.
2. Spray surfaces and wipe with a dry clean cloth. Disposal paper towels may leave streaks.
If you prefer to use paper towels you may want to consider switching to reusable paper towels. They are not at all harsh on the environment and will not end up being added to landfill piles.
If you do not like the smell of vinegar don't worry. The smell disappears very quickly. You could also add a few drops of essential oils if you like. I have always only used the vinegar and water and have had no problem getting clean and shiny surfaces.
Have you tried making your own glass cleaner? Do you prefer it over the commercial cleaners?

ReplyDeleteI always appreciate natural ways for even basic cleaning being posted - commercial stuff has SO many toxins....
ReplyDeleteThis could come in handy! Lots of little hands around this summer.
ReplyDeleteThis is the concoction that I use for windows, too. Although, I also add equal parts of rubbing alcohol which really helps to dry up the spray from the glass.
ReplyDeleteI have never made my own but this recipe is so easy I think I will try it out. It saves money too!
