This is the best DIY outdoor window cleaner ever!
We have been busy around here with Spring Cleaning. I might be a little strange, but I honestly look forward to Spring Cleaning each year. It’s so fun to have a fresh start and clean home! One of my favorite Spring Cleaning chores is cleaning my windows. There’s just something about those sparkly clean windows that make me so happy! Today I’m sharing my favorite homemade outdoor window cleaner recipe.
Years ago I started making my own DIY outdoor window cleaner. Not only is it MUCH cheaper, but it is also so quick and easy. Just the way I like it!
You will only need three ingredients to whip up this recipe and you probably already have all of the ingredients sitting in your house, all you have to do is mix them together. I really like this homemade outdoor window cleaner recipe because it gets even the toughest hard water spots off the windows.
When we clean our outdoor windows, we clean them as a family. It’s such a fun way to get everyone involved and spend a few hours together. My kids love helping mix the solution, and spraying the windows.
I have such fond memories of doing this as a young child with my family. We had a few windows that were up to high to reach. So, my dad would go get the tractor, let us kids sit in the bucket loader and would then lift us up to the windows.
I remember us laughing and feeling so tall sitting up in the bucket. It’s a memory I will always treasure!
I don’t have any high windows, and I don’t have a tractor. But! I do have windows and kids and we can make our own memories.
