Window Cleaning Spray (environmentally friendly)

There is no need to buy fancy window cleaning products, you can easily make your own which are just as good, if not better.  This is what I use:

1 part warm water

1 part distilled (clear) malt vinegar - available very cheaply in glass bottles from supermarkets.

Mix them together in a spray bottle.  If the windows are particularly dirty you could add a squirt of washing up liquid.  Rinse the grime off after cleaning and finish off with a squeegee.
