Keeping your windows clean is essential for a bright and welcoming home. However, commercial window cleaners can be expensive and often contain harsh chemicals. At Texas Cleaning Services, we believe in providing eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are not only effective but also safe for your family and the environment. Here’s a simple guide on how to make your own window cleaner using natural ingredients you probably already have at home.
Ingredients You'll Need:
White vinegar: A natural disinfectant and degreaser.
Distilled water: Prevents streaks and spots.
Rubbing alcohol: Helps the solution dry quickly.
Cornstarch: Adds extra cleaning power.
Essential oil (optional): For a pleasant scent.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Gather Your Ingredients
1 cup of white vinegar
1 cup of distilled water
1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
5-10 drops of essential oil (optional)
Mix the Ingredients
In a spray bottle, combine the white vinegar and distilled water. The vinegar acts as a natural cleaner and disinfectant, while the distilled water helps to avoid streaks and spots.
Add the rubbing alcohol to the mixture. This helps the solution to dry quickly and leave your windows streak-free.
Add the cornstarch. This may seem unusual, but cornstarch adds an extra cleaning boost, helping to remove grime and dirt from the glass.
If you want a pleasant scent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Lemon, lavender, or tea tree oil are great options.
Shake Well
Shake the spray bottle well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The cornstarch can settle at the bottom, so it’s important to shake the bottle before each use.
Clean Your Windows
Spray the solution directly onto the window.
Wipe with a microfiber cloth or a squeegee. Microfiber cloths are great because they don’t leave lint behind and they are reusable.
For best results, clean your windows on a cloudy day or when the windows are cool to the touch. This prevents the cleaner from drying too quickly and leaving streaks.
Tips for Sparkling Clean Windows:
Start from the top: When cleaning, always start from the top of the window and work your way down to prevent drips.
Use horizontal strokes: On one side of the window, use horizontal strokes, and on the other, use vertical strokes. This way, if there are any streaks, you can easily identify which side they are on.
Don’t forget the corners: Pay extra attention to the corners and edges where dirt and grime tend to accumulate.
Why Choose Natural Cleaners?
Making your own window cleaner is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly. Commercial cleaners often contain chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the planet. By using natural ingredients, you’re reducing your exposure to these chemicals and doing your part to protect the environment.
At Texas Cleaning Services, we are committed to promoting eco-friendly cleaning practices. We believe that a clean home doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health or the environment. By using natural cleaning solutions, you can achieve a sparkling clean home that’s safe for your family and pets.
