Default Karcher window cleaner glass concentrate

I admit to being a Karcher window cleaner fan. However I wonder if their
glass cleaner concentrate is anything other than detergent? Anyone know?

And ethoxylated alcohols - in other words, surfactants.

So it's a "fat profit" product as all these branded cleaning liquids
are. A couple of drops of a cheap washing-up liquid, with a dash of
isopropanol and ammonia, diluted to make an 0.5% or so solution, will do
the same job for less than a tenth of the price.

Whatever happened to the windscreen washer stuff that Aldildl used to
sell. Very concentrated in a small container where you squeezed the
bottom to get a measured amount in the top compartment. You then emptied
the small top compartment into the car wash water system and filled up
the rest with water.

It came in lemon and apple flavours, was easy to buy and carry home and
worked well.

Seems to have been replaced by these 5 litres of blue diluted stuff. I
only bought one once. Hopeless, heavy, went everywhere when I tried to
top up.

You drank it ?

Why do we need to pretty up such basic items anyway.
