Natural Window Cleaner Recipe

Seventh Generation Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner

If you don't feel like making your own glass and hard surface cleaner, Seventh Generation makes a good store-bought alternative.

Hey, everyone! In honor of spring cleaning, I’m going to be sharing a few of my new favorite homemade natural cleaning solution recipes over the next month or so. Today, I have a super easy recipe for glass and hard surface cleaner.

Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner Recipe

  • 4 cups of water
  • 1/4 cup of white vinegar
  • 1 t or so of dish detergent (you can use castile soap, but it streaks just a little bit more on glass surfaces)

That’s it! I just used up my last bottle of store-bought glass cleaner and filled it with this solution, and it works great as a general-purpose natural cleaner. The vinegar disinfects and removes goo from surfaces (and dries without any lingering vinegar smell), and the detergent cuts through mess and gives it just a little sudsy action.

I was once told that professional window washers use detergent and water solutions, not ammonia like we have in our store-bought glass cleaners such as Windex, so I can see why this natural blend works so well. I hope you like it!

Happy spring cleaning! (or whatever… ) :)


 

P.S. I am STILL working to fix this email subscription list issue, but rest assured you do not need to sign up again for it to work. This is a back-end problem with the new blog post notifications not sending. The email subscription list (nearly 1,000 strong, yay!) is still in tact. Thanks for your patience and feedback. Tonight, we try another fix….
