I’ve started using a vinegar and water solution to clean my windows to avoid the chemicals in cleaners such as Windex and to save money.
A lot of people say that it smears and it does the first few times you use it because there’s a layer of residue from the other cleaners that you have to cut through. My first bottle contained a little bit of alcohol to help with the residue but the future one’s will just be vinegar and water, I believe.
I feel a bit better about what I’m doing. To save energy, I’ve been turning off the air unit and opening windows when warm and when it’s cold, I use blankets and sweatshirts. Of course, the heat is programmed to come on when it reaches a certain temp. The programmable thermostat was another thing to help with energy.
I guess I’m doing better than I thought. I’m proud! I just need to keep finding new things to do.
