I want to use vinegar and water for the floors mainly, but I'd also like to use it for windows and glass and such. But I have no idea what proportions to use LOL. Any help?
I basically use a 50/50 mix (water/vinegar) for all of my cleaning (except I use baking soda for things that need "scrubbing" like toilets & stuck on gunk various places) I add EOs (lavender, sweet orange, TTO) depending on my mood & then just add a few drops till I like the smell
If I'm not going to use it right away I use distilled water to prevent bacteria growth.
I always put a small squirt of dishsoap in my 50/50 mix (vinegar/water). It helps you get a nice streak free window or mirror. I use this for everything.

What kind of dishsoap? Would any old dishsoap do? We use Seventh Generation.
Well, I'm not sure about 7thGen, I am afraid to say the last SLS in our house is Dawn, so I use Dawn, but when I was able to find Dr.Bronners Sals Suds, that worked the same. I'm guessing though that any dishsoap would work. The only problem I've had was Regular ol' Dr.B's, it keeps things kinda streaky.
