Cool Vinegar for Cleaning Glass

Instead of using harsh chemical sprays, you can use a simple solution of white vinegar to clean windows and mirrors in your home. Just use newspaper to rub the surface.

Exactly, vinegar is one the best multipurpose items you can find in your house. Not only that you can clean with it but you can make nice salad dressing with it...

Besides vinegar, which is excellent by the way, for cleaning you can use lemon juice. But make sure you don't dilute it with water or it will lose its strength.

I love vinegar for cleaning. I use a 50/50 vinegar/water solution for multipurpose and glass cleaning, with a little lavender essential oil for scent. For mopping, I use 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water.

I use vinegar for almost all of my cleaning. It's a totally safe eco-friendly product that is safe for humans and animals, too. I switched when I found out how harsh and environmentally unfriendly cleaning products are. It makes me feel good to know that I'm using a natural product that is safe for the environment.

Vinegar is a versatile cleaning agent! It's cheaper than commercial cleansers and more importantly, free from the toxic and irritating chemical ingredients. I use it to disinfect and deodorize windows, counter tops, garbage disposal and many more. Sometimes I add a little amount of essential oil to create a scent.

Default Solution as Vinegar for Cleaning Glass

Clean fireplace glass doors with a solution of 1 part white distilled vinegar to 2 parts water. Spray or wipe on, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
