Spray bottle mixture: Roughly 2 cups water, 2 tbsp of vinegar, and several drops of lemon essential oils; cleaned the front windows. It's tough to see the difference, but it worked. With five kids, I'm sure it won't last long.
Always a pleasure to have clean windows again I cleaned them from both the inside as the outside.
For the glass cleaner I dissolved some bar soap into hot water using a soap shaker. I also added some home made vinegar so the windows become stripe less clean.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are that you must clean four windows, inside and out.
To document this BB, post pictures or a 2-minute video depicting the following:
• Before: Four Dirty Windows
• Action 1: Your glass cleaner, with a description
• Action 2: You cleaning windows
• After: Four Clean Windows!
I am using 2 tbsp vinegar in a bottle of water, squeegees, fiber cloths and paper towels to clean 4 windows.
I used the fiber cloth to clean the windows after spraying them with the mixture. The squeegee worked a
little on the big windows but I mainly cleaned them with the cloths and dried them with paper towels. All
the other windows were washed with the cloths and dried with paper towels.
All the pictures of the dirty windows are from the outside. The clean window pictures of windows 2 - 4
are from the inside to show they are clean. It was getting darker so it wasn't so obvious from the outside.

I used 3 things to clean the windows: a homemade diluted vinegar spray with paper towels, a Norwex microfiber cloth to wipe the sills/grime, and a Norwex window cloth to shine the windows. All the windows really needed this cleaning!
**Note: The window #3 - Oops I labeled them wrong (the before picture is after and the after picture is before)
I tried digging up a dandelion earlier, but I broke the crappy hand-fork while I was trying. The dandelion looked happy amongst my wild strawberries anyway, so maybe it's just as well.

Water from the tap; supermarket vinegar; lavender oil. I more or less filled the bowl with water, added 3 soup spoons of vinegar, and 10 drops of lavender oil, which smelled just about right.

Turns out the windows weren't all that dirty!
