Natural Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner, The End All To Glass Cleaners

Create a homemade natural streak-free glass cleaner. This Eco-friendly cleaning recipe creates a professional foam spray without chemicals.

I love the simplicity of homemade cleaning solutions. If I use up a cleaner, I don’t have to run out to the store to buy another. So, there’s less bulk in my under-the-skin cabinets, fewer items on my weekly shopping list, and less plastic heading for the curb pickup.

And on top of it all, I get to skip the burn chemical cleaners give my nose by choosing natural ingredients.

But some natural cleaning methods don’t give us the result we’re after. Even those that are well known, like cleaning glass with vinegar and newspaper, will, in fact, leave you with streaks (not to mention the pungent odor).

Speaking of natural ingredients, if you are looking for a natural dust spray that doubles as wood polish, grab my Lemon Cedar Dust Spray recipe. With it and today’s natural cleaning recipe, you’ll have less bulk and waste, too.

So, what is the best thing to use to clean glass?

If you’ve ever purchased a professional mirror or photo frame cleaner, you know it does not spray a dripping liquid. It sprays on in a foam that removes even the stickest residue and leaves a streak-free finish.

Therefore, the answer to our question includes a few tried and true cleaning ingredients with a duo that makes all the difference.

You see, lemon essential oil works as a natural degreaser, easily removing sticker residue or toothpaste smears. And cornstarch lends a scrubbing power to this natural glass cleaner. Combined with rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, and water, this recipe creates a professional foam spray made naturally.

How To Use

For best results, shake before each use. Start from the top and work across and down the length of your glass in circular motions. Spray the glass and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber cloth, that you can wash and use again.

You can apply this glass cleaner to:

• Glass Cupboard Doors 
• Photo Frames
• Mirrors
• Glass Vases
• Windows

Creating A Homemade Natural Glass Cleaner

It really doesn’t take much to create this homemade natural glass cleaner. The one you may not already have is a glass spray bottle. This is the glass spray bottle I use; I highly recommend using reusable glass containers for natural cleaning.

As with any homemade cleaner, make sure to label your cleaning bottle. I make my vinyl labels with an electronic cutting machine (this is the one I have).

Natural Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups distilled water
• 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 25 drops lemon essential oil
• 1 glass 16-ounce spray bottle

How to Make a Streak-Free Homemade Glass Cleaner:

Place a funnel on top of a 16-ounce spray bottle. Pour 1 1/2 cups of distilled water, 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar, and 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol into the bottle. 

Then, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the liquid. Followed by 25 drops of lemon essential oil. Remove the funnel and put the lid on the spray bottle. Shake well to combine.
