DIY Window & Glass Cleaner {Picture Tutorial}

With spring comes spring cleaning. My windows always look really dirty after the winter months. I’m not saying I go and clean all the windows in my house (that is just crazy talk) but I do clean the ones I look out the most. I searched for a good homemade window cleaner and found one that I am loving, hopefully you will love it too! You should have everything on hand to make this. Here is what you need:

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup rubbing alcohol

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

2 cups warm water

empty spray bottle

Add the vinegar & rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle. {I always use a funnel so it doesn’t end up all over my counter}

Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch

Then add the 2 cups warm water, the warm water washes the corn starch down the funnel perfectly.

Shake gently

I found these microfiber washcloths at the dollar tree & I LOVE them. They work great for washing windows and mirrors or for shining my granite counter tops. I also love that I got 3 for $1!

My kids’ bathroom mirror is always a mess, it is hard to get a good picture of a dirty mirror, but trust me, it is messy!

Looks much better! Make sure you shake well before each use so the cornstarch doesn’t clog up your sprayer. Here’s one of my back windows the kids are always touching, lots of little finger prints…

Now nice and shiny. I really recommend the microfiber washcloths, make sure they are dry though, when it starts to get wet get a new one.  Newspaper is also good to use, I just don’t like getting my hands black so I never use it.
