I found a recipe before we left Denver for homemade bath cleaner that I scribbled down in the notebook I keep in my purse. So I grabbed the ingredients at WalMart (Dawn dish soap and white vinegar) and an empty spray bottle and mixed it up lickety-split.
And it works great.
Just a word of warning: The vinegar smell is VERY strong. It doesn't really bother me, but if you can't stand the smell of vinegar, don't even try it!
How much vineagar is that? I need to be as frugal as possible. Just signed the boy up for a big trip next year. Big trips = big dollars.

Congrats on 'green' cleaning!!! I will have to give this one a try!
My FAVORITE (been using it for over three years) all purpose 'windex' style cleaner is:
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup scented rubbing alcohol (I use wintergreen scented and you buy it in the pharmacy section... I buy mine at the dollar store)
Water
I use a recycled windex bottle. Put in the vinegar and rubbing alcohol then fill up the rest of the way with water. The scented rubbing alcohol does two things: removes the vinegar smell and speeds dry time to avoid streaks.
To use to was windows simply up the amount of rubbing alcohol to 3/4 cup.... Works GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Put the Dawn in your spray bottle and then fill it the rest of the way up with white vinegar. Not sure how much vinegar that is, but a small bottle of vinegar will be plenty.
