Abstract

In this Activity, students compare several different window cleaner recipes to determine the purpose each ingredient in a window cleaner serves. They then develop their own "New and Improved" recipe to test its performance against commercial window cleaner. It complements the National Chemistry Week 2002 theme "Chemistry Keeps Us Clean" and is based on an article published previously in this Journal, "Creating a Window Cleaner Company" (1995, 72, 344).
