10 Surprising and Unexpected Ways to Use Windex as a Household Hack
However, do you know that versatile cleaner has many other uses that can make your household chores easier, and even add a bit of fun to your daily routine?
Ten surprising and unexpected ways to use Windex that you might not have considered
1. Erase Whiteboard Marks
Tired of ghosting on your whiteboard? A quick spray of Windex can help remove stubborn marks and make your whiteboard look brand new. Just spray, wipe with a clean cloth, and enjoy a pristine surface for your next brainstorming session.
2. Shine Up Your Jewelry
Give your jewelry a dazzling shine by using Windex. Spray a little on a soft toothbrush and gently scrub your rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Rinse with water and pat dry for sparkling results.
3. Banish Grease Stains
Got a grease stain on your favorite shirt? Windex to the rescue! Spray the stain lightly, let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with a clean cloth before washing as usual. It helps break down the grease and lift the stain away.
4. Clean Patio Furniture
Outdoor furniture looking a bit dingy? Windex can help! Spray it directly onto your plastic, resin, or metal furniture, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Your patio will be party-ready in no time.
5. Remove Stickers and Labels
Struggling with sticky residue from labels or stickers? Spray Windex on the area, let it sit for a minute, and then peel away the sticker with ease. It also works on price tags and adhesive residue.

6. Unclog Hairbrushes
Hairbrushes can get pretty gunky with hair and product buildup. Spray Windex on the bristles and let it sit for a few minutes. Use an old toothbrush to scrub away the gunk, then rinse thoroughly with water.
7. Polish Stainless Steel Appliances
Keep your stainless steel appliances gleaming by giving them a quick wipe-down with Windex. Spray directly onto the surface and wipe with a microfiber cloth. It removes fingerprints and smudges effortlessly.
8. Clean Computer Screens
Computer screens can attract dust and fingerprints, but harsh chemicals can damage them. Windex is safe to use! Spray a small amount onto a microfiber cloth and gently wipe your screen for a crystal-clear view.
9. Deodorize Trash Cans
Trash cans can develop unpleasant odors over time. After emptying the trash, spray the inside of the can with Windex and wipe it down. This not only cleans but also helps neutralize bad smells.
10. Freshen Up Your Car Interior
Your car’s interior can benefit from a little Windex magic too. Use it to clean your dashboard, windows, and even fabric stains. Just spray and wipe with a clean cloth for a fresh, clean car interior.
Conclusion
Windex is ultimately SO much more than a glass cleaner. All of these unexpected uses can simplify your cleaning routine and help you tackle tough spots with ease.
