The Right Way to Clean Windows

Synthetic home cleaning products are now a matter of great concern specially with the awareness of their adverse effect on the environment.This paved the way for the use of non-toxic cleaning products but at the same time gave rise to questions regarding the effectiveness of these natural cleaners. As the different newspapers provide different tips for cleaning in ways that didn't harm the planet, the recommendation for windows was almost always to clean them with nothing but vinegar and water. The users have however often faced the problem of streaks being left on the glass when cleaned with vinegar.The problem was that the commercial window cleaner used before the switch to vinegar left a very fine wax residue. The vinegar alone wasn't enough to remove it, and the result was streaky windows. If instead, everyone had added a dab of liquid dish soap to the vinegar and water, the wax would easily have been removed and the windows would have been cleaned perfectly!Thus the secret recipe for perfect window cleaner is as simple as combining 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar, and up to 1/2 teaspoon of liquid soap or detergent in a spray bottle.
