Let’s dive into the ultimate cleaning hack.
Ingredients
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water (preferably distilled to avoid minerals or impurities)
Instructions
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a spray bottle, mix equal parts white vinegar and water. For a stronger solution, you can add a bit more vinegar, but this ratio works well for most windows.
Spray the Solution: Generously spray the mixture onto the glass surface of your windows. Be sure to cover the entire surface for an even clean.
Wipe with a Cloth: Use a soft microfiber cloth or paper towel to wipe down the window in a circular motion. For the best results, wipe from top to bottom to avoid streaks.
Buff to Shine: Once the window is clean, use a dry cloth to buff the glass and remove any excess moisture, leaving it with a streak-free finish.
Admire the Results: Step back and admire your shiny, sparkling windows. You’ll notice the difference in clarity and brightness instantly!
Tips for Serving and Storing
For Best Results: Always use a clean, lint-free cloth, like a microfiber cloth, to ensure a streak-free shine. Paper towels work in a pinch but may leave behind lint.
Storing the Solution: Store any leftover cleaning solution in the spray bottle. The mixture can be stored for several weeks, so feel free to use it on mirrors, glass tables, and other reflective surfaces as well.
Add a Touch of Essential Oils: If you don’t like the smell of vinegar, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (like lavender or lemon) to the solution for a more pleasant scent.
