Is Windex okay to use with a baby in the house?

Question

I've heard that Windex stays around for hours after it is sprayed. I have a 6 month old and was wondering if it is safe to use around her? My instinct says that if it has a potential to be dangerous, don't use it. Maybe there is another way to clean my nasty windows??

Answer 1

For your own piece of mind, because no matter what anyone here says, it is still going to be a concern to you, dont use it.
Instead use white vinegar diluted with a little water in a spray bottle, you can use regular paper towels or a better choice is using newspaper as your rag.
Now the first time I hear this, I laughed. I laugh no more cuz it really works and works very very well. You will be surprised!

Answer 2

Well yes it can be if you spray near your baby, you know that the fumes from ammonia can be harmful this is what windex contains, better environmental and safe formulas to use is White Vinegar,Make all-purpose cleaners

For fast cleanups around the kitchen, keep two recycled spray bottles filled with these vinegar-based solutions:
For glass, stainless steel, and plastic laminate surfaces, fill your spray bottle with 2 parts water, 1 part distilled white vinegar, and a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid.

And you can also use any Liquid Fabric softner use one capful of fabric softner to a half bucket of water, wipe on with a soft cloth or sponge and dry with newspaper or lintless cloth this makes your windows clean and they sparkle and they look very clear with no streaks. Good Luck !

Answer 3

I'm not sure about Windex being safe or not, but if you're worried try vinegar. I use it to clean just about everything, it works great. And it's practically a food product so it's fine to use around babies.

You need different window cleaning solutions inside and outside the house. What is fine for greasy inside windows, will not do the job outside, and vise versa.

Outside Window Cleaning Solution: 1 gallon water, 4 ounces vinegar, 1 teaspoon liquid hand dish washing detergent. Do not put in more than one teaspoon of the dish washing detergent to clean extra dirty windows. Any change in formula can ruin the effectiveness.

Inside Window Cleaning Solution: 1 gallon water, 4 ounces of nonsudsing household ammonia, one teaspoon liquid hand dish washing detergent. Don’t change the proportions. Indoor windows need ammonia to cut household grease (All windows in buildings inhabited by people are covered with grease. Besides you probably fry, boil or broil foods, and do other messy procedures that spread air-born grease). Outside windows are caked with hard, dried-on dirt and need vinegar to clean and shine. Both solutions use a tiny bit of detergent to break down surface tension allowing the cleaners to clean, and the water to rinse away the dirt.

Answer 5

i could also pick the tender fabric and water, yet in case you opt for to target it first... use the toddler wipe on the back of an previous CD that you do not use anymore... if it comes sparkling you have to be fantastic.

Answer 6

You could use dishwash liquid.
