Windex was invented in 1933 by a man named Harry R.Drackett. It was essentially 100% solvent and, as a flammable product, it had to be sold in metal cans. When modern surfactants (which is a blend of surface acting agent) were introduced in World War ll, the product was reformulated.

Why does not sugar dissolve into Windex?

Sugar does not dissolve in Windex because Windex is a cleaning solution made up of water, ammonia, and alcohol. Sugar dissolves in water-based solutions but not in alcohol-based ones like Windex. The alcohol in Windex prevents sugar from dissolving because they have different solubility properties.


Who is the inventor of windex?

The first formula was invented in the 1930's, but the formula was too unstable. So they changed it. Then they changed it again in the 1950's, to what we have today. The current formula is mostly water, ammonia, and coloring. It was invented by the Yagi and Sollod families in their sponge shop in the 1950's. They were mixing it up and selling it under the name easy clean (I believe). They sold the formula to Windex, and that's it.
