Cleaning windows can be a chore, but a budget-friendly cupboard staple promises professional results without the streaks. Lily, a cleaning influencer, shared her method using Fairy washing-up liquid, which costs as little as 89p at Savers, to achieve sparkling, streak-free glass.
Simple Ingredients for Spotless Windows
Lily's technique requires just washing-up liquid, water, a microfibre towel, and a glass cloth. She emphasises that drying with a glass cloth is crucial for a streak-free finish. Unlike specialised glass cleaners that can leave residue, the surfactant formula in Fairy cuts through grease and grime effectively.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Method
Before cleaning, remove dust from windows to avoid spreading it. Target fingerprints, bird droppings, and grime. For exterior windows, work in sections to prevent the solution from drying out. Use up and down strokes rather than circular motions, mimicking a squeegee, for superior results. A brush can help reach nooks and crannies when windows are open.
Expert Tips and Viewer Feedback
One viewer commented, "I've only just started using Fairy washing-up liquid to clean my windows. Previously, I used glass cleaner and was left with streaks. No more streaks for me!" Lily described the product as "amazing" and noted its excellent slip, allowing a squeegee to glide effortlessly. Another commenter recommended using a paintbrush for fiddly window frame areas, a tip Lily endorsed through trial and error.
