The inspiration for my mom’s DIY window cleaner came from a desire to find a more natural and cost-effective solution for cleaning glass surfaces. Tired of spending money on commercial cleaners that often left streaks and contained unpronounceable chemicals, she decided to experiment with ingredients she already had at home. Her goal was to create a cleaner that was not only effective but also safe for the environment and gentle on her family’s health.
After some trial and error, she discovered a combination of common household items that worked wonders on windows. Her recipe was inspired by the cleaning methods of her own mother, who used simple, natural ingredients long before the advent of modern cleaning products. This family tradition of using what you have on hand and avoiding waste became the foundation for her DIY cleaner.
