Finally: The magic DIY window cleaning potion you've been searching for! (This stuff is amazing.)

You've tried vinegar and water. But it only left smears so visible your windows looked worse after you cleaned them, than before. In fact, you've tried it ALL, and now you've decided those herbal-gerbil cleaning nuts (like me) must be crazy!

But you haven't tried everything. Not until you try this one last recipe. I'm telling you, this is THE one, the magic potion, the answer to your window cleaning dreams!

You don't believe me? Just wait. This recipe contains just the right mix of ingredients, all of which you probably already have in your pantry or medicine chest. Plus, one secret ingredient you may never have thought to include when cleaning glass, mirrors--basically anything you would use a store-bought window cleaner on. (Speaking of which: I'm betting you'll decide those store-bought brands are mud, compared to today's magic potion). 

But the best part? The best part is, you can make this glass cleaner for under .50 cents a bottle. That's about one-eighth the cost of a bottle of store-bought glass cleaner!

Interested now? Good. Prepare to be amazed. Seriously.

Here's what you'll need:

1 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup rubbing alcohol

2 1/4 cups water

1 tablespoon cornstarch (trust me)

To mix:

Using a funnel, pour everything into a 32-ounce bottle and shake until mixed. 

To use:

Shake, spray and wipe with a clean dry flour-sack towel (or any cloth, but you might be surprised at the results after using a flour-sack towel.) Enjoy your sparkling clean glass! It's the cornstarch that's the secret ingredient here. Who knew? (Okay, maybe your grandmother, but now you're in the know too!)

Want a fun way to LABEL your cleaning products? Try these premium chalkboard labels. They'll stay put on your cleaner bottle, and they come with a liquid chalk marker that's smudge proof, but easily erasable for quick re-labeling.

Let's chat...Do you plan to give this one a try? Have another favorite cleaning recipe you want to share? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.
