Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar (or distilled white vinegar)
  • 1 cup distilled water
  • 1-3 drops food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • Add ingredients to a spray bottle. Add lid and shake gently.
  • Date and label the bottle.
  • Use like any other glass cleaner!

Notes

  • If you’re not having good results cleaning your mirrors or windows with a clean microfiber cloth, a towel or rag, try using a piece of newspaper. Some people swear by this method of getting those streak-free windows we all desire.
  • The great thing about using newspaper is you can compost it after cleaning. We’re trying to avoid using paper towels as with a large family like ours, we can fly through them so quickly, but we can always pick up extra newspapers around town!
  • Using distilled water will prolong the shelf-life of your glass cleaner.
  • As I mentioned in the video, be sure to label your bottle and store it away from any cooking or personal care items. 
  • It’s also a great idea to date your cleaner. If you find your cleaner isn’t giving you good results, the date on the bottle could tell you why!
