Hint Tip Test 1: Cleaning Windows

To spring clean this year, I’m trying homemade cleaners.  When I decided to take on the book of household tips in order to do this, I decided to keep track of it in a diary, but unfortunately, I’m absolutely horrible at keeping a diary!  That was my main reason for starting this blog.  I find it much easier to keep up with my projects if I can type it out instead of writing.  This way, someone may read something they want to try and in a way, I can pay it forward to save some money for someone else…

Not that glass cleaner is expensive, but the mixture I made was far superior to any glass cleaner I’ve ever used off-brand and name brand alike.  The ingredients I used are also not expensive and can be used to make other cleaners, so in the end, I still come out on the plus side. 

For Windows

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup ammonia
• 3 quarts of warm water

I put all ingredients in a spray bottle and shook it up.  I sprayed it on the window and WALLAH! It worked like a dream!  The only problem I had was that with the cornstarch, the spray is milky, and when it dries, it’s crusty.  So small sprays on big windows works much better.
