A Sparkling Clean Solution for a Busy Life
I’ll admit it – cleaning windows has never been my favorite chore. There’s just something about it that feels so overwhelming, especially when trying to tackle all the windows in our house at once. And let’s not forget the rain that always seems to come right after I’ve finished the job!
But over the years, I’ve learned a few tricks that have made the process much simpler and, dare I say, even enjoyable. The key? Breaking it down into smaller, more manageable tasks and using an all-natural window cleaner that gets the job done quickly and efficiently.
The Joys of Streak-Free Windows
I’ll be the first to admit that I used to dread window-cleaning day. The kids’ sticky fingerprints and drool-covered mouths would just undo all my hard work in a matter of minutes. And don’t even get me started on the streaks that would inevitably show up as the sun hit the freshly cleaned glass.
But you know what they say – with a little patience and the right tools, even the most dreaded chores can become a source of satisfaction. And that’s exactly what’s happened for me. These days, I actually look forward to seeing the sun streaming through my sparkling clean windows, illuminating my home in a whole new way.
A Simple, All-Natural Solution
After years of trial and error, I’ve finally landed on an amazingly simple, all-natural window cleaner that gets the job done in just 5 minutes. And the best part? It uses just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
The key ingredient? cornstarch. That’s right – the same stuff you use for thickening sauces and puddings can also work wonders on your windows and mirrors. When combined with a bit of vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and (optionally) lemon essential oil, it creates a streak-free, non-toxic cleaning solution that’s leagues better than anything you’ll find in the store.
A Streak-Free Shine in Just 5 Minutes
Here’s how it works:
- Combine 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 8-10 drops of lemon essential oil (if using) in a 16-ounce spray bottle.
- Heat 1 1/2 cups of distilled water in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until warm, then add it to the bottle.
- Shake the mixture vigorously until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
That’s it! Just give it a good shake before each use and you’re ready to tackle those grimy windows and mirrors. The cornstarch helps the solution cling to the glass, while the vinegar and alcohol cut through dirt and grime for a streak-free shine.
