From the Mailbox:

Hi! Could you please give me your recipe for washing windows? I know I’ve seen it in your column, but can’t remember all the ingredients.

Thanks!

Lee

From Reena:

No problem Lee! Here’s the recipe:

In a 1 gallon size container, mix 1 tsp of cheap shampoo, 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol and enough vinegar to fill the jug. Pour into a spray bottle. Spray and wipe with three-day old or older newspaper.

Always wash windows on a cloudy day!

All solutions are to be used at the risk of the user.
