I squeegee the water off whenever I’m done but later on it still has that foggy water look. How do I get the door to look actually clear?

    I absolutely assumed that this part is true, but I’m wondering if this is pretty useless after it’s cooled down or if it’s still okay to make a big batch and use it over a couple of months or however long it could last. There’s also the concern of mixing vinegar which is acidic with a soap which tends to be alkali. Idk what to expect chemically speaking, but then adding heat and agitation will certainly cause a more aggressive chemical reaction. I assume this won’t explode or produce toxic fumes or anything, but this might not be particularly shelf stable because it’s relying on the reaction from the mixing to do some scrubbing bubbles action on some of the challenging shit? Idk, I just hesitate to trust this sort of “life hack” type info because so much of it has proven to be anything ranging from useless bullshit to corporate astroturfing (buy Dawn!) to downright dangerous advice.

    My hunch is that it probably works great for the first hour or so after mixing and then has immediate diminishing returns, so it’s probably best to make a small batch, immediately spray it on everything you want to hit with it, and then go back and wipe up in the order you sprayed this shit onto. But idk, I haven’t tried it, use at your own risk. Amateur chemistry has risks.

      It’s the heat energy doing the work not some chemical reaction that is still present after the solution cools off.
