Let the Atlanta Sun Shine Through: Eco-Friendly DIY Window Cleaner




Atlanta's lush landscapes and vibrant urban life deserve to be seen through the clearest windows. For our eco-conscious community members who cherish both pristine views and the environment, we've concoiled a homemade window cleaner that’s tough on dirt and gentle on the planet.

Ingredients for Eco-Friendly Sparkle:

  • White Vinegar (¼ cup): A powerhouse cleaner, vinegar cuts through grime naturally, leaving no harmful residues behind.

  • Liquid Dish Soap (½ teaspoon): Just a dab helps dissolve stubborn spots, ensuring your glass gleams without harsh chemicals.

  • Warm Water (2 cups): The carrier for your cleaning mix, diluting the vinegar for a gentle cleanse.

  • Optional: Essential Oils (10-15 drops): Add a refreshing scent with lemon for its grease-cutting prowess or lavender for a soothing aroma.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Combine the Basics: In a spray bottle, pour vinegar, dish soap, and warm water.

  2. Enhance with Aroma: Introduce essential oils to suit your scent preferences. This step not only pleases the nose but also leverages additional antibacterial benefits.

  3. Shake it Up: Cap your bottle and shake vigorously to blend all the ingredients thoroughly.

Application Tips for Best Results:

  • Spray Generously: Coat your windows with the solution, not shying away from greasy fingerprints or water spots.

  • Effective Wiping: Employ a lint-free cloth or squeegee for a flawless finish. Microfiber cloths are particularly effective, trapping dirt and leaving no streaks.

  • Cloudy Day Cleaning: Overcast conditions are ideal as they prevent the solution from drying too fast and streaking.

For Our Atlanta Homes: This DIY window cleaner is perfect for our Atlanta community, respecting both our environment and our health. Regular use not only promotes clearer views but also supports a healthier home environment by avoiding the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) common in commercial cleaners.
