When you were a kid, for sure, you liked scribbling your name on the dusty windows of someone’s car. On your way to school, you might have written your name on several cars parked on the side of the street. Now that you have your own car, nothing can be more annoying than seeing some kid’s name on your windows.. Curse the day all you want but you know how to solve your problem — clean your windows.
The easiest way to do it is to buy a car window cleaner from a store. However, are you aware that many window cleaners contain ammonia, a chemical known as a carcinogen or a cancer causing agent? This highly toxic substance can be poisonous. In fact, “window cleaner” is also a name given to a medical condition caused by poisoning from ingestion or inhalation of window cleaner in large amounts. Thus, you have to be very careful in picking the right car window cleaner for you.
To be completely safe and free from worries, you can just make your own nontoxic car window cleaner. In this way, you’ll feel safe keeping it in your garage especially if you have children around. There is a very easy recipe for getting grime and dirt off your car window with a streak-free shine that can scare away the nasty kids who love scribbling their names on your car.
Combine two cups of water and a quarter cup of white vinegar in a spray bottle.
Next, add half a teaspoon of liquid detergent or soap.
Shake the mixture well to blend.
Voila, you have an instant nontoxic homemade car window cleaner. It’s that easy! Actually, even without the detergent or soap, the water-vinegar mixture will work fine. It’s just that some people claim that it leaves some streaks on the windows after a while. The detergent makes sure that these marks won’t show up.
Now, even when you park your car on the street close to a school, you know that it won’t be a problem. Kids will be surprised and disappointed to see that your car windows are not rascal-friendly anymore.
