I kept the windows clean, and,yes, I used vineagar in water at that time! But for real greasy dirt (ie, city dirt) you are going to have to use a strong cleaner or a lot of elbow grease!Simple Joyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770219522822364057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-2643275470866073522007-09-01T21:16:00.000-04:002007-09-01T21:16:00.000-04:00Vinegar in water is my favorite window cleaning co...Vinegar in water is my favorite window cleaning compound. Mix it in a bucket or bowl and use a non abrasive nylon cloth on it. Use just a few tablespoons of vinegar in a bowl, more if the surface is really dirty. Wipe dry with a lint free towel. This environmentally friendly, people-safe solution works great on ceramic tile and any glass surface and it isn't abrasive. If the spots are from hard water film, use a lime remover, like lime-away but dilute it in water and rinse off fairly quickly. Again, a non abrasive nylon cleaning cloth helps remove the build up.orneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-39055845398847759782007-09-01T19:16:00.000-04:002007-09-01T19:16:00.000-04:00Thanks Mima!Thanks Mima!Mrs. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494851936894072384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-6325337961445868792007-09-01T17:32:00.000-04:002007-09-01T17:32:00.000-04:00In a grocery store it is 409 or Fantastic.
