If you want to make your patio furniture sparkling clean, this homemade cleaner is what you need.


It also cleans windows without leaving any streaks.

Check out this IG video making it.


People have had so many great things to say about this cleaner, and you can make it at home with just a few simple ingredients.


1 cup water


1 tbsp concentrated dish soap


2 tbsp 70% rubbing alcohol**


Here’s what you do:


Add the ingredients to a spray bottle.


You can use regular rubbing alcohol, but I really love the enhancement of citrus infused rubbing alcohol.


Spray furniture and wipe off with a cloth. I recommend microfiber or Swedish dish cloths for this.

Ingredient swaps:


I like Dawn for outside use. It has great surfactant power on dirt and grime.


You can swap any concentrated dish soap you have on hand, but it needs to be concentrated for this recipe.


You can also use regular 70% rubbing alcohol.
