Clean Dirty Windows with Methylated Spirits


Dirty windows need a little extra oomph to remove the ground-on dirt. Before heading off to buy a commercially produced product, check the cupboard for a little methylated spirits. Add some water and elbow grease and your windows will be as good as new in no time! Here's how.

  1. Make up a solution of methylated spirits with a little warm water.
  2. Apply the solution using a chamois. Using the chamois, rub strongly across the dirty areas of the window.
  3. Rinse off with scrunched up newspaper dipped in warm water. The newspaper will remove smears.
  4. Discard any of the solution leftover and the newspaper pieces. Wash your hands well.
Items needed
  • Methylated spirits
  • Warm water
  • Bucket to combine mixture in
  • Chamois cloth
  • Newspaper
  • Soap for cleaning your hands afterwards
