Pure Vinegar
Vinegar is a popular household cleaning product that can be used for a variety of tasks. However, it's not the best choice for cleaning windows. Vinegar is acidic and can eat away at the sealant around your windows, causing them to leak. It can also leave behind streaks and spots. If you must use vinegar to clean your windows, be sure to mix it with equal parts water, and heavily rinse the area afterwards.
Ammonia
Ammonia is another common household cleaning product that is often used for window cleaning. Like vinegar, ammonia can damage window seals, causing leaks and potential water damage. In addition, ammonia is a toxic substance that can be harmful if inhaled.
Bleach
Bleach is a powerful cleaning agent that should only be used in small amounts. When used on windows, bleach can damage the glass and leave behind streaks. Like ammonia, bleach is a toxic substance that can be harmful if inhaled.
Windex with Ammonia
Windex is a popular window cleaning product, but remember that many of their solutions contain ammonia. As we discussed earlier, ammonia can damage your windows and is a toxic substance. Windex does offer a selection of ammonia-free options, which fare much better.
