In an effort to reduce the cost of cleaning my house I have a few things I have been trying.     First of all, I realized the cleaning chemicals present in  many name brand cleansers are quite simple.  Bleach, ammonia, vinegar, salt, & olive oil can handle most cleaning jobs.   All of these are available cheaper than say, Windex.   Spray some vinegar on the glass and wipe it off with newspaper.   Better than Windex.   In relation to this post, the key word in the previous sentence is spray.    You still need to spray the damn vinegar on the glass.   I purchased a very impressive looking empty spray bottle from the Hom depot for the same price as a spray bottle full of Windex.    I justified the purchase by thinking to myself, “This bottle looks a lot tougher than the Windex bottle, it will work for a long time.”   I take it home, fill it up, and a couple of months later the impressive looking spray bottle wore out.   I would say no longer than the Windex bottle would have lasted.   Now, I know what you thinking, It’s a fluke, the big impressive bottle will last longer, I just got a dud.    I got news, it happened again, and again.   Rip off!   I have to retreat and find a better plan of attack.   Any ideas?
