I have discussed the hazards of traditional window cleaners before, particularly their use of the ingredient ammonia. So what alternatives do you have? I propose trying a solution of one part distilled white vinegar with five parts water. It cleans windows surprisingly well and since the vinegar is so diluted, the smell is not overwhelming. Any vinegar that does smell slightly quickly evaporates leaving your windows and glass odorless. (If you have been using traditional window cleaners for a while, you may have a film build up that will take several cleanings to remove. But then this solution should work well.) The best part? It’s the safest way for you to clean your windows and it only costs pennies per bottle. Give it a try next time you run out of window cleaner!
