Tips for making Window cleaner in home:
- Use Newspaper or clean cotton cloth to wipe clean. By this your window shines!!! Also use micro fibre cloth.
- Before each cleaning, shake the spray bottle. Otherwise, starches used in the mix may clot your spray nozzle.
- Starches such as tapioca, arrow root will work better than corn. If you have any problem in using corn starch, try these starches
- Swab using lemon, orange to get cut the vinegar smell
- Differentiate the bottle from the other by adding natural or artificial food coloring. I will prefer beetroot juice (inexpensive natural-colouring)
