How to Use Denatured Alcohol to Clean Windows

Improper cleaning of your windows can lead to streaks, lingering residue and haziness obstructing your view to the outside world.

A little denatured alcohol goes a long way in cleaning your windows.

Rather than running to the store and purchasing the first glass cleaning product that touts its “streak free” capabilities, the answer to perfectly clear windows may already be in your cabinet. Denatured alcohol is an efficient alternative to other glass cleaners that goes above and beyond in eliminating dirt, grease and grime as well as giving your windows a sparkling shine.
