There are several ways to clean your windows, mirrors, and other glass in an environmentally friendly way.

Solution # 1 - Vinegar Solution

Add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of vinegar to a large spray bottle, and fill the rest of the way with hot water. Shake. Spray on windows and wipe. Old newspapers work well.

Solution #2 - Citrasolv

Add 1-2 tablespoons of Citrasolv to a spray bottle and fill with water. Spray on windows and wipe. (Citrasolv is a natural cleaner made from citrus, it can be found in many health food stores)

Solution # 3 - Microfiber Cloth

I’ve seen two types of cloth marketed as “Microfiber”. The first looks rather like a washcloth. It may work on windows, but I’ve never tried it (if anyone has experience please comment!). The second looks and feels like a very stiff, dried out, thick diaper wipe. This is the kind that I wash windows with. Simply get it wet, wring it out, and rub on your windows. It works beautifully - even on dog slobber! What’s best is that there are NO chemicals. These cloths can be used on any glass safely.
