Windex
Yep, it’s a classic. It might not be as versatile as the movies claim, but it is a good stand-by. Of course, this one brand offers dozens of varieties. The No-Drip Streak-Free Foaming Action Windex is a good choice. The original with Ammonia-D is also great for window cleaning. This product is good both indoors and out. It’s not too pricey. It’s a simple solution to remove tough grime.
Store Brands
You have a whole house of windows to clean, and you wonder if it’s worth saving a buck or two by purchasing the store brand window cleaner. While Windex has a pretty strong reputation, store brands will often do just fine. The main difference you might encounter is outdoor muck. The interiors of your windows will probably clean fairly easily, but some off-brands might not have the kick you need for the exterior. But, adding a little elbow grease often does the trick.
Homemade Cleaner
Do you have an extra empty spray bottle on hand? It’s easy to create your own solution for window cleaning in Cleveland, OH. Here’s the simple recipe:
· ½ cup sudsy ammonia
· 1 tsp of dish soap (whatever brand you prefer)
· 1 pint of rubbing alcohol

Since your cleaner won’t have the traditional blue coloring, be sure to label your bottle. You don’t want to mix it with your houseplant mister!
