Here's my DIY Window Wash.
It's so cheap and so easy to mix up a batch!
I made another batch in a jar while
I was mixing so I'd have it ready.
The nice thing about washing windows in
Florida is that I can jump in the pool
anytime to cool off, and also admire
the shiny clean windows I've done so far.

You already have everything you need in the
house, so it's ready anytime you need it.
The vinegar acts as a sheeting agent.
It works like JetDry, but you don't
need to buy the expensive stuff.

You will need a bucket, a bar (Cuban) mop,
or whatever long handled thingy you have
and old hand towels.
First hose down the windows.
Then generously mop on the solution. I also
wiped it on the frame and hurricane shutters.
I use my bar mop and old towels
You can find bar mops at most dollar stores.
Let it air dry...no squeegee required.
I also used my DIY Dishwasher Detergent,
but you can use any brand.
Here's my easy formula: 1/4 C of everything.
Keeping it simple!
Window Wash
1/4 C dishwasher powder
1/4 C ammonia
1/4 C alcohol
1/4 C white vinegar
Add to a bucket and fill with
1 gallon of hot water. Mix.
1 gallon of hot water. Mix.
Spray the windows with a hose.
Mop on the cleaning solution.
Rinse off with the hose.
Air dry.
Cheers!
