Make Your Own Homemade Window Glass Cleaner And General Purpose Cleaner

I really enjoy saving money, helping the environment when i can, and making my own substitutes for commercial products. That's why this window cleaner recipe is so awesome. It does all 3 with very simple ingredients.

1/4 cup Vinegar
1/4 cup Rubbing (Isopropyl) Alcohol
1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
2 Cups warm Water
2-3 Squirts of lemon juice


This makes a wonderful non-toxic glass cleaner. If your windows are really dirty, add a shot of liquid Dawn or Ivory Liquid soap to the mix. The lemon juice helps cover up the vinegar smell. I add a few drops of lavender essential oil to mine to give it a pleasant fresh cleaned smell.


For a good general purpose cleaner add the liquid soap and optionally a 1/4 cup ammonia. You can use this mixture for all kinds of light to medium duty cleaning. Good for cabinets, shelves, wood and glass furniture, fixtures and anything else you might use a general purpose cleaner on.
