Many women still choose the good old method, which is to wash windows by hand.
But how do you get an impeccable and ecological result?
There are several possible solutions, without using chemicals, which often leave marks.

The two ingredients (in a dose of 100 ml of vinegar per 500 ml of water) must be poured into a spray dispenser, which must be shaken well. The mixture will then be sprayed on the glass, then passing over a soft cotton tea towel, without rinsing.
Another system is to use newspaper sheets after spraying them with water.

Anyone wishing to use a detergent, it is possible to compose a do-it-yourself detergent solution, with ecological dishwashing liquid and liquid soap, to mix in 500 ml of warm water.
