I have used this with good results. Some windows are high,and I like
the idea of the hose end dispenser.
I find it kind of costly to buy the complete dispenser and detergent
every time it's empty.
Indoor Windex has refill bottles for their sprayers.
Is there any way I can make my own detergent,and refill the dispenser?
If so,what can I use? Thanks

I make a window/general purpose cleaner. My recipe:

1 pint rubbing alcohol
1 cup ammonia (not sudsy)
2 squirts dish liquid (I like Dawn Power Plus)
mix with water to make a gallon, tip several times to mix.

Will this be used in the garden hose end sprayer that mixes the water
as it sprays?
Is it a concentrate?

For that, I'd first try using less water. Maybe by 2/3 less, then
none at all, if it's too weak.
