    Inside: Skip the store-bought glass cleaner and make this streak-free homemade glass cleaner. It's easy to make and uses just 3 ingredients. Get your mirrors and glass clean and streak-free!

    Natural Glass Cleaner

    I love it when I can find a way to make something at home instead of buying it at the store. With so many cleaners, not only are they often cheaper to make at home, but they don't have all the weird ingredients and chemicals that the store-bought cleaners often have. Why is window cleaner even blue?

    This homemade glass cleaner is not only easy to make, but it will save you money too. Plus, it leaves a fantastic streak-free shine on mirrors and windows.

    Homemade Glass Cleaner

    To make this DIY glass cleaner you will need a few things.

    • spray bottle
    • vinegar (just the plain white vinegar)
    • cornstarch
    • rubbing alcohol
    • 2-4 drops lemon essential oil (if desired)

    Plus, I highly recommend skipping paper towels, which leave behind residue, and instead, use a microfiber cloth. I love these microfiber cloths from Amazon.

    Between the natural glass cleaner and the microfiber cloths, you will love how clean your glass and mirrors are!

    ingredients to make homemade glass cleaner

    Getting Started

    To start you will need a large bowl or funnel with spray bottle to mix your ingredients.

    I prefer a mixing cup with a pour spout so it's easy to transfer to the spray bottle.

    water in spray bottle

    Step 1: Pour two cups of water in the measuring cup.

    cornstartch added to spray bottle

    Step 2: Add in 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

    vinegar for streak free shine

    Step 3: Then add 1/4 cup vinegar

    rubbing alcohol in mirror cleaner

    Step 4: Add 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol.

    Step 5: You can add in a couple of drops of essential oils to make it smell good if you would like. My favorite is the lemon essential oil.

    Step 6: Mix everything until combined and transfer to a spray bottle. Or, add lid to spray bottle and shake.

    Using the DIY Glass Cleaner

    To use the homemade glass and mirror cleaner you will want give the bottle a few good shakes first.

    The cornstarch will settle over time so by shaking it you help to mix up the cornstarch.

    Spray a small amount onto the glass or mirror that you want to clean and wipe with a microfiber cloth.

    The homemade glass cleaner will quickly remove any dirt and grime. Plus, the rubbing alcohol and vinegar will help insure there isn't any water spots left behind.

    This DIY glass cleaner is great for cleaning windows and by using a microfiber cloth you won't have any lint left behind. Make this easy cleaning recipe to have a streak free shine on your glass windows and mirrors.

        You could give it a try. It does have a much lower alcohol content than rubbing alcohol so I am not sure if it will work or not. If you do I would try a very small batch at first. Let me know how it works. Thanks!
