After doing a little research, we have come up with our favorite way to clean windows. There's always the old standby of vinegar and water, but I don't like the smell. We did a little research, used some different products and our favorite product made my Shaklee called Basic H2. It has no VOCs, no chlorine bleach, no phosphates, nitrates or borates, recyclable packaging, biodegradable surfactants, and contains sustainable natural ingredients. You mix this product with water to make several different household cleaners. The window cleaner takes only a couple drops of cleaner mixed with 16 ounces of water. They also sell a window cloth, which works great especially for inside the house. So here's what we do.
For windows inside, mix Basic H2 with water, spray on windows, and wipe horizontally with the window cleaning cloth.
For outside, fill a bucket with water, add your H2 and use a sponge (we found a compostable sponge made of natural cellulose at Trader Joe's) and get the windows very wet to clean the dirt and grime from them. Then use a squeegee to get the majority of the cleaner off. Use a dry towel and use vertical strokes to complete the drying.
Notice we use horizontal strokes on the inside, vertical on the outside. That way, you can tell if there are any streaks which side they're on.
These tips will get your windows looking cleaner and brighter in no time.
You can purchase Shaklee Basic H2 at www.shaklee.com. I recommend trying Shaklee's starter kit. They have some wonderful products in it that are all safe for our families and the environment. Also, Shaklee will refund your money on any item that is unsatisfactory to you. All you have to do is call them.
