Clean, Streak-free Windows & Glass

  • Nov 5, 2024
  • How to
lady cleaning the glass window with a spray cleaning solution

The answer is – vinegar! Vinegar is completely non-toxic and anti-bacterial and acts quickly to break down the kind of film that frequently accumulates on glass surfaces. When you wash your windows with our quick vinegar solution the results will leave your windows free from streaks and sparkling clean!

DIY Vinegar Solution

  1. Mix one part hot water to one part distilled white vinegar.
  2. Sponge cleaning – wet the window using the solution, then clean and wipe dry.
  3. Squeegee – dampen the squeegee first and clean from the top down, wiping the edge of the squeegee after every stroke.
  4. Spray Bottle – mix 50% distilled white vinegar and 50% tap water.
  5. Clean only when there is no direct sunlight on windows
  6. Rinse and dry the window frames to avoid any damage.

Note: For extremely grimy glass, prewash with warm soapy water then follow with the vinegar solution. Got any highly resistant spots? Try rubbing with a cloth dipped in undiluted white vinegar.
