Can mineral spirits be used for a window cleaner?
Mineral spirits aren't that good a choice for window cleaning. The so-called "dollar stores" have cheap window cleaner, or you can make your own. Mineral spirits are a petroleum distilate. Sure, they're low odor, but they are flammable, volatile and more toxic than any "regular" window cleaner. This industrial solvent will not remove all the stuff on a dirty window. Some of the things on the glass are not going to be solvent in mineral spirits. On the other hand, window cleaner will remove water-soluble gunk (cause it's mostly water) and has a surfactant that will pick up any grease.
