  3. Spray the solution onto your windows.

Supercharge Your Cleaner: Optional Add-Ins

Want to boost the cleaning power or add a pleasant scent? Consider these additions:

  • Lemon Juice: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice for extra cleaning power and a fresh scent.
  • Essential Oils: A few drops of your favorite essential oil (like lavender or tea tree) can add a subtle fragrance and potential antibacterial properties.
  • Rubbing Alcohol: For stubborn grime, add a tablespoon of rubbing alcohol to the mix.

Pro Tips for Sparkling Windows

  • Choose the Right Cloth: Microfiber cloths are essential for streak-free cleaning. Avoid paper towels, which can leave lint.
  • Clean on a Cloudy Day: Direct sunlight can cause the cleaner to dry too quickly, leading to streaks.
  • Pre-Clean: Remove loose dirt and debris with a brush or vacuum before spraying with the cleaner.
  • Proper Technique: Spray the window generously and wipe in overlapping strokes. Dry immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

Beyond Windows: Other Uses

This homemade cleaner isn't just for windows! Use it to clean mirrors, glass stovetops, and even stainless steel appliances. Always test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the surface. — The Walnut Room: A Chicago Holiday Tradition
