2 cups water
3 TBS white, distilled vinegar
1/2 tsp dish detergent (liquid)

My mom used to always use vinegar and water when cleaning the windows during spring cleaning along with the newspapers..........:) We also used newspapers to clean car windows. I have never used the vinegar/water mixture, but I should! Thanks for the recipe........I am guessing the dish liquid takes off any grimy substances, right?
Amazing what we can do for pennies!! Thanks for the tip about the dish detergent. I have never added soap before, and can see the advantage!
Yes, and I find this ratio doesn't create an overpowering vinegar smell. I know some use ammonia but that stinks too bad. Plus if you accidentally mix ammonia with cleaners containing bleach, watch out!
I'll have to try this. Never used newspaper either. I just use old Tshirt rags.
I use regular dish detergent too. First I rub the windows through with a soapy rag and then I spray the window cleaner detergent and use the squeegee to clean the windows. It's the best way in that way.
I will have to write down that recipe. Dh goes through alot of window cleaner
