The Savings Experiment: Homemade Window Cleaner

As you know I joined with some fellow bloggers to embark on a Savings Experiment! I started the month long experiment with a BANG!

My First Experiment

Each Saturday I wake up early and wash my windows. No, I am not a crazy neat freak... I do it because my darling Boston Terrier Tinkerbell spends her days sitting on the chair in the sun, licking my front window. Gross, I know but you can't teach a 2 year old Terrier new tricks. As you can guess I go through a lot of glass cleaner.

The Culprit

Tinkerbell

It's really gross, but I had to share how bad it was!

Window Cleaner

1 cup water

1 cup vinegar

1 plastic bottle (I saved an old window cleaner bottle)

It worked well, I did have to wash my very dirty window twice to get it clean. I used paper towels and there were no streaks. I washed all of my windows (15) and my front and back door. I also washed my bathroom mirror. I hardly made a dent in the bottle.

I bought two bottles of Vinegar using the $1/2 coupon

My total of of pocket was $2.00

Using the recipe above I will get 4 batches out of one bottle.

My Method : 25 cents a bottle

Windex: $3.95 a bottle

I would choose the Vinegar method hands down.

The best part about this solution is you can use it for many things around the house, not just windows. Vinegar cuts grease, dissolves hard water and soap scum. It will also kill mold and mildew.

The only con my husband and I can come up with is it does leave a very strong scent. I am sure that it will pass in an hour or so.

Jenna over at Bucktown Bargins has a great post up on Making Your Own Baby Food! Be sure to check it out!

The Savings Experiment

Very exciting things are happening at Stylish Saving! Haven't you always wanted to try out some of those crazy money saving methods your Grandmother/mother/ best friend mentioned? Well, 5 fellow frugal bloggers and myself have have decided to put some of our best money saving methods to the test!

We'll be do some serious comparisons to see if all of this talk is just hype or if it can turn into real cash staying in your pocket. We know that each of these should save money, in theory, but what we really want to find out is exactly HOW MUCH?!


So, for the month of May, stay tuned - we'll be posting all of these experiments on our various sites, guest posting the results of other's on our own sites, and filling you guys in on every gritty detail along the way! You'll be here to witness our triumphs, failures, and (of course) the SAVINGS!!


Here's a quick breakdown of just a few of the cool things we'll be testing:


* Homemade Organic Baby Food vs. Store Bought


* Substituting Vinegar for Fabric Softener


* Homemade Cleaning Products vs. Store Bought


* Cloth Diapers vs. Disposables


* "Rocks in the Toilet Tank" - huh?! You'll see!


A few of the other bloggers involved are:

*Alecia from Savings and Stewardship

* Greta from Friend Family Savings

* Jenna from Bucktown Bargains

* Micael from Saving Obsession

* Jessica from Jessica's Coupons

and Me (MaryCatherine) from Stylish Saving
