WINDEX MARTINI

This is a favorite of one of my friends. She keeps a pitcher in the refrigerator for drop-in company. It's a pretty bright blue - just like windex. We usually just add a smidge of lime juice, otherwise we think it is too tart.

A little different than the other homemade window cleaners posted here, this solution works great and I've saved a lot of money over the years using it!

Time 2m

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 tablespoons ammonia
1 teaspoon liquid dishwashing soap
1 pint rubbing alcohol
water
blue food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine ammonia, dishwashing soap, and alcohol in a one gallon bottle; then add almost one gallon water to fill the bottle; a few drops blue food coloring may be added to make your homemade Windex look store-bought.
  • Fill spray bottles with Windex for cleaning interior mirrors and glass surfaces; just use a rag to wipe and shine.
  • This solution also works well for washing exterior windows. When doing so I like to wash them out of direct sunlight to avoid streaks, then finish the job by polishing each window with wadded up newspaper.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Windex: Different Windex formulas are designed for different surfaces, so make sure to choose the one that's best suited for your task. For example, Windex with Ammonia is great for cleaning glass and mirrors, while Windex Vinegar is better for cleaning appliances and countertops.
  • Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before using Windex on any surface, test it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't cause any damage. This is especially important for delicate surfaces like marble or granite.
  • Use a Microfiber Cloth: Microfiber cloths are the best choice for cleaning with Windex because they're lint-free and won't scratch surfaces.
  • Don't Use Too Much Windex: A little Windex goes a long way, so don't use too much. Otherwise, you'll end up with streaks and smudges.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning with Windex, rinse the surface thoroughly with water to remove any residue.

Conclusion:

Windex is a versatile cleaner that can be used on a variety of surfaces around your home. By following these tips, you can use Windex safely and effectively to clean your home and keep it looking its best.
