Spring Cleaning - Washing the Windows Naturally & DIY Cleaning Solution

Now that you’ve organized your closet for warmer weather, it's time to clean the windows from winter's storms. Because harsh fumes from traditional window cleaners may do more harm than good, it is important to use chemical free cleaning solutions. However non-toxic cleaning products can be expensive, so here is a simple, inexpensive natural window cleaning solution you can make at home:

Combine three teaspoons of vinegar to one quart of warm water and pour the solution into a reusable spray bottle. That's it!


Now for washing the windows. First, schedule time during the day when the sun is not shining directly on the windows. Dust away cobwebs and dirt with a soft-bristle brush.


Spray a small amount of natural window solution onto the window and squeegee the glass starting from one of the upper corners and move straight down. Repeat and overlap until the entire window had been wiped. To prevent streaking, use crumpled newspaper to wipe small drips and recycle the newspaper after cleaning your windows.


Windows. Check. Now what's next on your spring cleaning list? Also, check out more organizing tips at Organize & Decorate Everything's blog party here.
