Straight vinegar seems to work great for me. I dunno what all you guys are trying to clean off your glass. LoL why all the toxic stuff? Just use vinegar. Works better than windex.

As a professional window cleaner for over 30 years, let me tell you from experience and experimentation; Newspapers or vinegar are NOT the best choices for home made window cleaning solution. I've tried them all extensively.
Most window cleaners use a few drops of dawn or joy dish washing soap in a bucket of water. If you want to us as a spray, add some Alcohol, rubbing alcohol works but is not the best choice. for Window shield washer fluid add more alcohol- to prevent freezing, not an issue if you don't have freezing weather.
It's not the chemical that produces the streak-free clean window it's the training, practice, skill & techniques of the professional that make the difference. Professional tools also help. But why waste your hard-earned free time cleaning windows? It's easy to hire a pro... just look up Window Cleaners in the YP or Google "Wndow Cleaners (+your location"and spend that free time doing something you enjoy!

I've been using this to clean mirrors, chrome and windows but does anyone have a good homemade formula for keeping the insides of your car windows and mirrors from steaming/fogging up?

Just an FYI - I don't think windshield washer fluid should be used indoors either and where I live, it is NOT cheap.

Glass Cleaner
3/4 cup of rubbing alcohol to 1/4 cup of water makes for an excellent glass cleaner. Great for mirrors, chrome and countertops too.

Windshield washer fluid sounds good but read the warning on the lable. Some contain methanol not alcohol. And may be a danger to use indoors.

Vinegar added with very warm water and crumpled up newspaper work just as well. Happy Holidays... Mary McLuckie

Using Alcohol Instead of Window Cleaner
Instead of buying expensive window cleaners I found rubbing alcohol works best. I fill up an empty squirt bottle from the dollar store with alcohol and start cleaning. It leaves windows, mirrors, and chrome streak free and clean (plus it costs a lot less!)

RE: Homemade Glass and Window Cleaners
I use 1 tablespoon of Bicarbonate of Soda per 1/2 gallon of warm water for all windows in the house and the cars. They stay clean longer, no streaking and gets rid of smoke stains/oil.

We buy gallon jugs of windshield washer fluid when it's on sale and pour it into a spray bottle as needed. Works like a charm and is cheap!

RE: Homemade Glass Cleaner
If you have thermal pane windows, don't use ammonia. It discolors the windows (turns them purple). A Pella window installer shared this with us.

I use 2 tablespoons ammonia, 1 cup rubbing alcohol and 4 cups water. Mix together, put in a spray bottle and you are ready to clean those windows! Cheap, cheap, cheap!
