Windex is one of the oldest and most popular cleaners, specially formulated with a combination of ammonia, alcohol, surfactants, and solvents to remove dirt, grease, grime, fingerprints, and streaks from household mirrors and glass. Because of its reasonable price and convenient plastic spray bottle, it’s used for many other purposes as well – and sometimes for the wrong ones.
When we talk about Windex, we refer to the Original Windex formula ($3.37, Amazon), a blue liquid whose predominant ingredients include water, Isopropyl alcohol, 2-Hexoxyethanol, Ammonium hydroxide (Ammonia), isopropanolamine, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, lauramine oxide, fragrance, and color.
