At Tidy Casa, we clean over 600 homes a month—and if there’s one unsung hero in our cleaning kit, it’s rubbing alcohol.
This stuff doesn’t get the love it deserves. It’s affordable, eco-friendly, and a great option for people who are sensitive to stronger cleaning chemicals. Plus, it’s super versatile and works wonders in ways most folks don’t even realize.
Our Favorite Use: Streak-Free Windows with Rubbing Alcohol
One of our go-to tricks? Add a little rubbing alcohol to your window cleaner. Just about 10% isopropyl alcohol mixed with your regular glass cleaner (like Windex) can make a big difference.
Why it works:
- Faster drying: Alcohol evaporates quickly, which helps prevent those annoying streaks.
- Light disinfecting: It also helps kill some germs—bonus!
- Budget-friendly & effective: A small amount goes a long way.
How to Do It
Here’s a quick step-by-step:
- Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol with 9 parts glass cleaner.
- Spray it on your windows, mirrors, or glass surfaces.
- Wipe with a clean microfiber cloth or paper towel.
Simple, right?
A Couple of Quick Tips
- Don’t overdo it: Too much alcohol can dry out surfaces—and your hands! The smell can also be a little strong if you go overboard.
- Test tinted windows: If you’re cleaning windows with a special film or tint, test a small hidden spot first to make sure the alcohol won’t damage it.
Give It a Try!
Rubbing alcohol might not be fancy, but it gets the job done. It’s a small tweak that makes a big difference—and it’s part of the reason our team at Tidy Casa can leave homes looking spotless and streak-free.
