Top cleaning secret for sparkling windows
- Replies 8
Windows are an important part of any home. They let in natural light and provide us with a clear view of the outside world.
However, keeping them clean can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you live in an area that’s close to a busy road or city. If you're not careful, your glass windows can quickly become covered in grime, making your home look messy.
Fortunately, there is an easy ‘hack’ to keep them spotless. Best of all, it’ll only take a few minutes of your day!
One Aussie mum shared her ‘quick and easy’ tip to get crystal clear glass surfaces and windows in just minutes. All you need is a rinse-aid and dishwashing liquid, and a squeegee (which she bought from Bunnings).
She mixed ¼ cup of rinse aid (she used Shine but any brand of rinse aid works fine), and two squirts of dishwashing liquid in a bucket of water – either warm or cold is fine.
Then, she used the squeegee to remove excess product and water from the glass pool fence (pictured above).
Afterwards, she used a microfibre cloth to wipe the squeegee dry and she suggested doing this before using the squeegee on the glass again.
The mum shared her advice on Facebook, much to the delight of other social media users.
‘I have tried many different things to clean my glass pool fence without much luck. It always seemed smeared, patchy, and never streak-free,’ the mum said in her post. But she explained that her views changed (literally) when she discovered her method for ‘picture-perfect’ glass online.
One woman commented: ‘I didn’t even see the pool fence. Super clean!’ And we agree! I (the writer) also had to do a double-take!
Her post gathered hundreds of likes and comments from people who were struggling to clean their glass surfaces.
‘Look at that reflection,’ one impressed woman said.
Another heartily joked: ‘Wow, that is super clear. So clear you might need some bird stickers now.’
Others said that they have been using the same method for years and ‘swear by it’.
‘I can second that this is the only way to clean any glass after years of being a cleaner! Must be Palmolive original to get these results.’ Someone said, referring to the same brand of dishwashing liquid that the mum used.
Others recommended their own ‘hacks’, including adding a few drops of metho to their solutions. Some said they mixed hand sanitiser, and others opt to use vinegar with dish soap to clean glass surfaces.
