Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the cornstarch necessary in the recipe, and if not, will the cleaning solution still be effective?
The cornstarch is not essential for the cleaning power of the solution. The vinegar and water combination will still effectively clean glass surfaces. However, the cornstarch can be helpful for achieving an extra streak-free shine, especially if using paper towels for wiping.
- Can I use this homemade cleaner on other surfaces besides glass?
This homemade cleaner is generally safe for other non-porous surfaces like stainless steel appliances, countertops, and chrome fixtures. However, it’s always a good practice to test the solution on a small inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate surfaces like granite or marble.
- Will the vinegar smell linger after cleaning the windows?
The vinegar scent might be noticeable right after cleaning, but it usually dissipates quickly. The dilution with water and the act of wiping the surface will help minimize the vinegar smell.
