Recently, I found myself in a bit of a pickle. A mess of streaky windows with no Windex to be found. What to do? Google to the rescue. A few moments after my initial duress, I found the simple solution. Mix equal parts white vinegar and hot water with a splash of rubbing alcohol. Place concoction in a spray bottle and viola- a streak free shine!
Not only is this cleaner incredibly cheap, it is also non-toxic. Now that it is a cleaner you can feel good about!

Yep, my grandmother and mom always recommended using vinegar and water for your windows. An even better way to avoide streaks is using a newspaper with the concoction. Not sure why, but it works wonders!
Oh such a great idea! Bookmarking this for my cleaning tips! xoxo
Hi JMW- grandmothers always know best, don't they! What a great tip about the newspaper and will certainly give that a try.
Hi Brunch at Saks- I think that you too will be impressed by this little home-made wonder!
Have also then heard that people like to use newsprint to scrub, ah someone already said that.
Meanwhile, I want your whiskey sour, truffled potato chips and fireplace-love them all! Thank you so much for your dear comments on my DD feature! Hope you're enjoying this 4TH snow day!
What a delight to find your blog by way of "A Place to Dwell". I did know about the vingear as a streak free window cleaner and had even heard that newspaper was better than paper towels, but did not know about adding a dash of rubbing alcohol. Great tip. So much better for the environment too! Thank you!
Best from your newest follower,

Great idea...non toxic is key.
Great and easy recipe. Did it work as well as Windex? If so, I'm sold!
