Just wondering if rubbing alcohol is the alcohol of choice here. I am just starting the process of changing how we live and think at our house and while it may seem elementary, I really have no idea what kind of alcohol should be used. Thanks!!

Hi Kim,
you are correct, plain old rubbing alcohol is exactly what you need!

This is so cool. I’ve been trying to look for home-made ingredients to clean my windows. I’ve had enough of the syntethic one. Thank you for posting.
