Default Window Cleaner

Does anyone have the recipe for window cleaner. I think it has three ingredients. I used it in the spring and it worked great. I used an extended pad to mop the window and then just hosed off. No drying needed. The windows need cleaning again and I can't find the recipe. Thanks

Be careful if you are hosing off exterior windows with hard water as it can eventually etch the glass. Rain water is soft and does not have that effect.

Thanks for your help. I'm thinking it had the product you put in dishwashers that makes the water sheet. My brain is tired, can't remember the name! Maybe Dawn, that product, plus vineger and dawn?

this makes a gallon
3 tablespoons of ammonia
2 tablespoons of dawn (blue)
1 bottle of rubbing alcohol (regular size not the large)
fill the rest of the gallon container with water

I think that you are right - but I too don't know the formula - the dishwasher additive prevents streaking. Must be somewhere on the internet. Have too search.

Is it Finish rinse Agent?

Since I no longer use my dishwasher, I still have some dishwashing tabs with Finish. My neighbor cleans windows for aliving. He told me to how to do the outside windows. He gathers rainwater and takes it with him and uses that to clean windows.

Jet dry might be what you are thinking of. That goes in the rinse cycle. Vinegar works the same, but I don't know if you can mix a lot of different ingredients together, as it might cause a chemical reaction that you might not want.
