Keeping your car windows clean and clear is essential for safe driving. Not to mention, having grimy windows just isn’t a good look for your vehicle. While there are many glass cleaners available on the market, they can be expensive and often contain harsh chemicals that could cause damage your car’s interior. Fortunately, you can make your own homemade glass cleaner for car windows using simple and natural ingredients. 

In this blog post, we will explain how to make your own DIY glass cleaner that will have your car windows sparkling like new. We will also provide some helpful tips and techniques that can make cleaning those windows easier and more effective.

Ingredients and Materials

Before you start mixing together your DIY window cleaner, you will need to gather all of the necessary ingredients and materials. Here is a list of everything you will need to make the solution and clean your windows:

• Spray bottle
• Vinegar
• Water
• Cornstarch
• Essential oil (optional)
• Microfibre cloth or paper towel

How To Make Your Own DIY Window Cleaner

Step 1: Mix Water and Vinegar

Start by mixing one cup of distilled water and one cup of white vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake the bottle to combine the two ingredients thoroughly. Vinegar is an excellent cleaner and degreaser that can remove dirt, grime, and even water spots from glass surfaces.

Step 2: Add Cornstarch

Next, add one tablespoon of cornstarch to the water and vinegar mixture. Cornstarch acts as a mild abrasive that helps to remove stubborn stains and streaks from the glass surface. Shake the bottle again to ensure the cornstarch is fully combined with the vinegar and water solution.

Step 3: Add Essential Oil (Optional)

If you prefer a pleasant scent, you can add 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil to the spray bottle. Essential oils such as lemon, lavender, and peppermint provide a refreshing scent and also have natural cleaning properties. Shake the bottle again to mix the solution together after you’ve added the essential oil.

How To Use the DIY Glass Cleaner on Car Windows

Now that you’ve made your DIY glass cleaner for car windows, it’s time to use it. Start by spraying the cleaner on the glass surface of your vehicle’s windows. Use a microfiber cloth or a paper towel to wipe the glass clean. Make sure to wipe in a circular motion to remove any streaks. If necessary, use a second cloth or towel to dry the glass and get rid of any remaining moisture.

Tips for Cleaning Your Car Windows

To make sure that you get the best results possible, here are some tips to keep in mind when cleaning your car windows:

• Always use a microfiber cloth or a paper towel to avoid scratching the glass surface
• Avoid cleaning windows in direct sunlight or on a hot day, as the heat can cause the cleaner to evaporate too quickly, leaving streaks behind
• Clean the inside of the windows first and then move on to the outside
• Don’t forget to clean the rearview and side mirrors as well

Making your own homemade glass cleaner is an easy and inexpensive way to keep your car windows clean.
