Why even mix the windex 50/50? I use straight original blue windex, as a cleaner and bore swab... no Alcohol needed.
If you are using it for a bore swab just moisten the parct - do not get it wet or even damp - just moist like a spit patch then a dry patch is not even needed, the ammonia in the windex evaps and carries H2O with it.
This is how i make mine...

At home I have prepared windex patches that are much wetter, wit them I swab the barrel until I get clean patches. Then if the gun is going to be storedI will strip and really clean it. If I am going to use it again in a few days... I will run abore oil patch (in my case MX-BC) both sides and then a coupledry patches...
