Put 2 cups rubbing alcohol & 1/2 cup white vinegar in a clean, empty 1 gal. milk jug. Fill the rest of the way with water, squeeze (approximately 1 tsp.) dawn dish soap in. Put top on and give it a light shake. Fill a spray bottle. Use in the bathroom anywhere, kitchen counters, windows, mirrors, anywhere. Safe and super cheap. Never leaves a residue.

Equal parts white distilled vinegar and water

Soft Scrub:
Baking soda mixed with a bit of water to make a paste

If you mix one part water, one part dish det. (such ar Joy etc.) and one part clear ammonia in a spray container. Just shake and spray. It is also great for taking out stains on clothes.
