DIY Window Cleaner

I HATE dirty windows!  You would never know this though, by the look of my windows...AT ALL TIMES!  I have a three year old and a dog who LOVE to climb on the back of the couch and put their grubby noses and fingers (son, not the dog) all over my front window!  Since I have children and a puppy, I have chosen to not care so much.  Pick and choose your battles.  Clean laundry is much more important than clean windows!

I still hate dirty windows, so if they could be clean for at least a couple of hours...I am satisfied!  To continue on with our DIY posts, I have a DIY window cleaner!  Great transition?!?!  If you are like me and you want your kids to help with chores, Windex can be VERY expensive for the amount of cleaner they use :).  So, why not make your own!?!?  I also recommend letting them use a cotton towel versus paper towels!

Perfectly Perfect Window Cleaner

DIY Monday: Cleaning the Microwave

Looking for a simple, low-cost, DIY, cleaning solution for your microwave?  Well, look no further my friends!

Microwave Cleaner



Ingredients:

2 Cups Water
1 Cup White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Before the Cleaning

After the Cleaning

Mix ingredients in a glass measuring cup.  Why the lemon juice?  I like the smell!

Microwave for 10 minutes and wipe clean!

The steam helps to loosen the food, therefore making it super easy to clean!

Take a look at my before and after pics and you KNOW this method works!

Have a good one!
