Unfortunately, we are polluting our environment more and more, especially with products toxic.
An important source of pollution is the consequence of the use of cleaners that we buy for cleaning.
But there is an easy, ecological and more economical alternative.
Here's how to make a homemade (and toxic-free) glass cleaning spray that leaves no streaks!
1. To eliminate toxic products from your home
Have you ever looked carefully at the ingredients of your household products?
Nobody wants to expose their family to these toxic products.
2. To save your money
Making your own household products is cheaper than buying commercial products.
3. To stop contributing to pollution
Our environment is already polluted enough. Why add even more toxic products?
There are easy, economical and much healthier alternatives.
By eliminating toxic products from your cleaners, you contribute to a clean environment.
4. So that you no longer have streaks on your windows
This glass cleaner is particularly effective!
Indeed, it is designed to leave no marks on your glass surfaces.
5. Because it's easy
Plus, our recipe is SUPER easy to make.
Once you've gathered the ingredients, your window cleaner is ready in less than a minute.
Glass cleaner requires few ingredients:
- 50 ml of white vinegar (cider vinegar is also effective)
- 50 ml of alcohol at 90°
- 1 tablespoon of maizena type cornstarch.
(Warning:this ingredient is important. Starch is the agent that removes streaks from windows.)
- 400ml of water
- Optional:to flavor your product, you can also add 8-10 drops of your favorite essential oil.
We recommend citrus essential oils (lemon, orange, bergamot). But you can also add lavender essential oil, for example.
1. Pour all the ingredients into a spray bottle.
(For even more savings, we recommend reusing your old glass cleaner bottle!)
2. Shake vigorously.
3. Spray the product on the glass.
4. Clean with a dry cloth or newspaper.
There you go, your glass is clean and without any trace :-)
You see, making your own window cleaner is easy!
Not to mention that you are sure that its composition is natural.
And with your homemade window cleaner, no need for Karcher!
Window cleaning has never been easier.
- You can use this product on many types of surfaces.
This household tile cleaner is a multi-purpose product.
It cleans windows, mirrors, glass objects as well as stainless steel, chrome, aluminum, ceramics and plastic.
But be careful:never use products that contain vinegar on marble surfaces! This is because vinegar can etch the surface of the marble.
- Shake the bottle well before each use. This is to prevent the cornstarch from clogging your vaporizer mouthpiece.
- Are you allergic to corn? No problem ! You can substitute cornstarch with tapioca flour (not to be confused with tapioca seeds).
- To clean your surfaces, choose microfiber cloths (because they are reusable).
You can also make your own rags from old clothes.
Otherwise, you can use newspaper.
(The idea is to avoid using paper towels — it's a huge waste.)
- Last tip:you can also add food coloring to your product. This way, your children will immediately see that it's not water!
If you don't have food coloring on hand, use canned beet juice.
To make your natural window fluid, you only need a few ingredients.
Most of these ingredients are easily found in supermarkets. But remember to recycle as much as possible.
For example, you can recycle a spray bottle from an old glass product:economical and ecological;)
To buy now, we recommend the following products:
- spray bottle
- 90% alcohol
- cornstarch
- organic lavender essential oil
