Recipe Information
Ingredients

- 10 drops Essential oil (optional - for fragrance, e.g., lavender, lemon, or tea tree)
Instructions
1. In a clean and empty spray bottle (16-ounce capacity or larger), combine 1 cup of white vinegar, 1 cup of distilled water, and 1 cup of rubbing alcohol.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the bottle. This helps ensure a streak-free finish on your windows and glass surfaces.
3. If desired, add 10 drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant, natural fragrance. This step is optional but recommended to offset the vinegar smell.
4. Close the spray bottle tightly and shake well to combine all ingredients. Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is consistent.
