Window Cleaning Solution: Alcohol or Vinegar Which is Best

Window cleaner is a popular item to make at home because it is often more affordable and accessible than store-bought options. But what is the best recipe for window cleaning?

Some people swear by alcohol while others insist vinegar is the key. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each option and find out which one reigns supreme!

Alcohol-based window cleaners are popular because they evaporate quickly and don’t leave streaks. However, some people find that alcohol can be drying to the skin and harsh on surfaces. If you choose to go this route, be sure to use a high-proof alcohol like vodka or rubbing alcohol.

Vinegar is another popular option for homemade window cleaner. It’s acidic nature helps to cut through grime and dirt, without being harsh on surfaces. However, some people find that vinegar leaves behind a strong smell. If you choose to use vinegar, be sure to dilute it with water in a 1:1 ratio.

Comparison and differences

  • Cost :

– Alcohol is often more expensive than vinegar.

  • Ease of use:

– Alcohol is easier to use because it evaporates quickly and doesn’t leave streaks.

– Vinegar is more difficult to use because it’s acidic nature can be harsh on surfaces. It also leaves behind a strong smell.

  • Effectiveness:

– Both alcohol and vinegar are effective at cleaning windows. However, vinegar is more effective at cutting through grime and dirt.

  • Smell:

– Alcohol doesn’t have a strong smell.

– Vinegar has a strong smell that some people find unpleasant.

  • Durability:

So, which one is the best? Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. If you’re looking for a quick-drying option with no streaks, alcohol-based window cleaner is the way to go. If you’re looking for something that will cut through grime more effectively, vinegar-based window cleaner is your best bet. Whichever option you choose, be sure to use it in a well-ventilated area and test it on a small area before applying it to your entire window.
