SAVE ON WINDOW CLEANER
Since it isn't a "big ticket" item, most people don't look
for ways to save on their purchases of common
window cleaner products.
Why not? All those little household purchases add up from
year to year. If you were able to save a dollar or two on
each purchase you would be enriching your family's
bank account rather than some mega corporation's
coffers.
Here's a way to save on window cleaner, a item that most
households have at least one bottle of in the cupboard.
Rather than reaching for the big name brand product of
window cleaner with its premium price, drop by the local
dollar store and buy a product that will do the simple
work of cleaning glass surfaces for just a dollar.
Better yet.......make your own window cleaner.
All you need is an inexpensive bottle of ammonia,
a bottle of common isopropyl alcohol (available
in pharmacies and supermarkets), tap water
and an empty spray bottle.
Fill the bottle a little over a quarter full with ammonia,
add a few ounces of isopropyl alcohol (four percent
of the container's total volume) and fill the remainder
with tap water.
Replace the spray bottle insert and cap. Shake, or stir
if you prefer; and there you go a bottle of excellent
window cleaner for just pennies.
Be sure to save the bottles of isopropyl alcohol
and ammonia to refill your window cleaner bottle.
Yeah, your homemade window cleaner won't have that
pretty blue color of the expensive stuff, but window
cleaner can be any color including clear!
If you really have to have a colored bottle of window
cleaner, add a drop or two of food coloring and make
it any color you like.
