Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Distilled water
- 0.25 cup Rubbing alcohol (70% concentration or higher)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 5 drops Essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
Instructions
In a clean mixing bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of distilled water.
Add 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol to the mixture for enhanced cleaning and fast drying.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into the liquid mixture. This helps reduce streaks on glass surfaces.
If desired, add 5 drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant scent (e.g., lemon or lavender).
Stir the mixture thoroughly until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
Using a funnel, pour the solution into a clean spray bottle. Shake the bottle gently to mix the ingredients further.
Before each use, give the bottle a good shake to ensure the cornstarch is incorporated.
Spray directly onto glass surfaces and wipe with a lint-free microfiber cloth or newspaper for a streak-free shine.
