I read somewhere that you can put a drop of food colouring into glass cleaner (Windex blue perhaps?) to differentiate it from water. Rubbing alcohol is absolutely NOT for drinking, so no chugging down your window cleaner.

But in the case of cleaning it’s a solvent, which means it dissolves dirt and oil, leaving your windows spotless! Rubbing alcohol can be used as a sanitiser for hard surfaces – being an alcohol it kills most germs. This is another one of those essentials like bicarb soda, that every home should have. The great ingredient in this DIY streak-free glass cleaner is isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol. Or you can make a specialty glass cleaner that leaves your windows spotlessly clean and streak-free. I’ve been using this surface spray on just about everything for almost a decade. To clean the windows naturally, you can use a regular homemade surface spray like this one. Meanwhile, I’d rather the inside of the windows (and the lounge room)didn’t get the kid’s splash and flick treatment, so I take the opportunity to give the inside of the windows a quick once over. But it keeps them occupied for a while, the windows kind of get clean and, you know, good habits and all, so I get right out of the way if they want to clean them. It has more to do with playing with water and the squeegee outside than any deep desire to clean. In fact, when they’re bored, they come and ask if the can clean the windows. I’m a bit laissez-faire when it comes to cleaning, particularly windows. I’m supposed to clean the windows? Must remember to clean windows. Several mums declared emphatically they hated cleaning the windows, especially with toddlers and the greasy finger streaks that appeared only moments after cleaning. I remember having a conversation once with my mother’s group about the cleaning jobs we liked the least.
