Tips: Spray windows with preferred cleaner solution then wipe clean with crumpled newspapers. The newspaper helps prevent streaks.
Also wash one side of the window in an up and down direction, on the other side scrub side to side. This will help determine which side of the glass has the streaks that need to be polished out.

I would skip the recipe with ammonia since that stinks really bad, it is not so good for your health when inhaled and it is a greenhouse gas.
See the wikipedia entry on ammonia.

You can also use 1 gallon of water and like 2 cups of corn starch and mix them up. It doesn’t leave any streaks!

Recipe #1 works great! I have been using a similar recipe for years and it is a great multi purpose cleaner. It works at cutting grease in the kitchen too. I make this up and use it to clean the bathroom, kitchen and windows.

Ammonia is only poisonous when mixed with certain chemicals..bleach. Also the smell of either Ammonia or vinegar dissapates quickly and leaves no odor. Vinegar is a wonderful cleaner around the house…repels ants, cleans garbage disposal, great in laundry…and cheap! Plus, your family will think you’ve canned all day when you clean!
