Ingredients
- 1 clean gallon jug an emptied gallon of milk or juice container works great!
- water
- 1 pint rubbing alcohol
- 2 Tablespoons ammonia
- 1 teaspoon liquid dish detergent
- 1 drop blue food coloring* optional
Instructions
- Fill a gallon jug ¾ full with water.
- Add alcohol, ammonia, and dish detergent. A funnel is helpful when adding rubbing alcohol. Add 1 drop of blue food coloring. This is optional, but it helps distinguish the window cleaner from a spray bottle filled with water.
- Fill the remaining space in the jug with water, leaving about 2 inches from the top empty. Replace the lid and gently shake the jug to evenly distribute the contents.
- Using a funnel, fill the spray bottle with cleaning solution and clean away!

Notes
- *The blue food coloring doesn't do anything to help or hurt windows, it is for safety reasons. I use one drop of food coloring to remind myself and others that the spray bottle is filled with cleaner, not with clear water.
