Windows need cleaning regularly in order to keep them streak-free and dust-free. If they aren’t cleaned, scratches may begin to appear.
Neil, a seasoned professional with Bust The Dust, said: “It’s incredible how sometimes the most effective solutions are the simplest ones. My £1 hack for spotless windows is proof of that.”
The secret to Neil’s cleaning tip all lies within a cloth, a microfibre cloth, which can be picked up for £1.
Ideal for cleaning many areas around the home, the expert said they are “designed to trap dirt and dust within their fibres”.
This means they don’t just move grime around, they remove it entirely, with little to no product needed.
In fact, microfibre cloth can be effective at removing bacteria and viruses from surfaces with just water, ideal for homes with children and pets.
The process is super easy and requires minimal effort. Start by taking a damp cloth to wipe the windows down, removing the majority of the grime.
Then, follow up with a dry microfibre cloth to buff the window, leaving it “sparkling and streak-free”.
Neil added: “Many people are surprised to learn that you don’t need a fancy, expensive cleaner to get your windows looking their best.
“In fact, many of the products on the market can leave behind residues that cause streaks. By using just water and a microfibre cloth, you can avoid this problem entirely.”
One of the main advantages of this method is its eco-friendliness as well as its ease and affordability.
“You’re not using any chemicals that can harm wildlife or pollute water sources, and microfibre cloths can be washed and reused multiple times.
“It’s a small investment that can make a big difference in your cleaning routine. Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed.”
This cleaning hack is also great for cleaning shower screens as well as mirrors all over the home.
If you do fancy adding a natural cleaning product to your window cleaning routine, especially if you have really dirty windows, try white vinegar.
Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle and simply spritz all over the window, wiping with a cloth.
If you don’t like the smell of vinegar, try adding a couple of drops of washing-up liquid to mask the strong scent.
