Can I use vinegar to clean windows?

Yes, you can use vinegar to clean windows.

• Vinegar is a low-cost, common kitchen ingredient that contains acetic acid, which helps break down dirt and grime on glass surfaces.
• Mixing vinegar with water creates an effective cleaning solution. A common ratio is one part vinegar to one part water, though you can adjust depending on how soiled your windows are.
• This mixture helps remove streaks and smudges when used with a clean cloth or a paper towel, and then wiped with a squeegee for a streak-free finish.
• Always test a small area first, especially if your windows have special coatings or are set in frames with sensitive materials, to ensure the vinegar does not cause damage.
• For best results, clean on a cloudy day or when the windows are not directly exposed to sunlight, so the solution can work without evaporating too quickly.
• Remember that while vinegar cleans and dissolves dirt, it is not intended to make claims related to sanitizing or disinfecting.
