Why white vinegar? White vinegar is an effective and natural cleaner for windows. It has an acidic nature and ability to dissolve grime and residue. Here’s how it works:

1. Acidic Properties: White vinegar, also known as acetic acid, has mild acidic properties. This makes it effective in breaking down and dissolving various types of deposits commonly found on windows.
2. Grease and Grime Removal: When applied to windows, vinegar effectively cuts through grease and grime. This makes it easier to wipe away with a cloth or squeegee. This makes it particularly useful for removing fingerprints, smudges, and other oily residues.
3. Mineral Deposit Dissolution: Hard water stains and mineral deposits left behind by water droplets can make windows look cloudy and dirty. The acidic nature of vinegar helps dissolve these mineral deposits, restoring the clarity and shine of the glass surface.

🧼 How to Do

Here is something to try–for stubborn stains or buildup, you can apply undiluted vinegar directly to the affected areas.
