Discover the Secret to Streak-Free Windows with a Simple, Homemade Cleaner

A common issue during the summer is the accumulation of dirt on windows, especially those that are frequently opened and closed, allowing dust to settle on the glass.

Maintaining clean windows can be challenging due to the tendency of glass to smudge, but a simple solution has been suggested by TJ, the founder of Measuring Flower and a mother.

According to TJ, a mixture of alcohol, water, and cornstarch is the key to achieving streak-free windows, and this combination has proven to be highly effective.

The alcohol in the mixture serves as a disinfectant, while the cornstarch has a unique property that makes the solution clear and streak-free, and the water helps to dilute it.

One of the main benefits of using cornstarch in window cleaning solutions is its ability to break down the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread evenly across the glass and evaporate more uniformly.

Additionally, cornstarch is highly absorbent, which means it can soak up any remaining residue from the cleaning solution, thereby preventing streaks from forming on the windows.

Some people prefer to use white vinegar for cleaning windows, but it has a tendency to evaporate quickly, often leaving behind visible streaks.

While white vinegar can be used in combination with cornstarch, rubbing alcohol is generally a more effective option because it is a potent disinfectant that does not leave any residue.

To achieve streak-free windows, it is essential to use a small amount of cornstarch in the cleaning solution.

TJ also noted that some people recommend using only white vinegar, but she found that it left streaks on her glass when she tried it.

To prepare the cleaning solution, simply pour the ingredients into an empty spray bottle, which can be found in most supermarkets or pound shops.

It is crucial to use cold water when mixing the ingredients, as cornstarch can thicken when heated, potentially clogging the spray bottle.

Once the ingredients are in the spray bottle, attach the cap and shake it well to combine them thoroughly, then spray the solution onto the window and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

This simple and effective solution can leave your windows sparkling clean in just a few minutes, and it can also be used to clean other glass surfaces, such as mirrors and shower doors.

The entire process, from preparation to cleaning, can be completed in under 10 minutes, making it a quick and efficient way to achieve streak-free windows.

Overall, this homemade window cleaning solution is a convenient and effective alternative to commercial products, and it can be easily customized to suit individual needs and preferences.
