Glass Cleaner

You have probably heard about numerous ways to DIY this cleaner over the years. From mixing vodka with water and just using that mixture all the way to scrubbing the windows with toothpaste in order to clean them, there are numerous ways in which people say they achieve sparkling clean glass windows. However, some of these are either expensive or just extremely messy, and they also require extensive cleaning after you have used them, making a lot of these DIY options very time-consuming.

To help you cut down on time and come up with a cheap, effective alternative to store-bought glass cleaners, we brought you one of the best recipes that you can make at home. Make sure you get a glass cleaner recipient if you want to store it in an easily identifiable bottle, or just get yourself a spray bottle from Amazon and label it accordingly, so you can easily use this product after you make it!
