Glass Cleaner Recipe

This glass cleaner recipe works great for windows, glass surfaces, and especially for mirrors you may have around your home, and you do not have to worry about there being chemicals in its composition. All you will need to do is mix together all the ingredients inside your bottle until they dissolve, and you are ready to use your DIY cleaner! Just make sure that after you have let it sit for a while, you shake it up before you use it again.

To make the mixture, you will need a quarter cup of white vinegar, two cups of warm water, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a quarter cup of rubbing alcohol! You can leave out the rubbing alcohol; however, if you want the mixture to be as efficient as possible, you should not skip it. However, if you do not like the idea of adding rubbing alcohol, then you can not add it, and the mixture will still be effective.
