Washing windows is one of the most difficult procedures when cleaning an apartment.

It is very difficult to wipe glass without leaving streaks.

Of course, there is such an old life hack as using newspapers.

However, it is not recommended to use such material: scratches (if the paper is hard), paint and very small pieces of paper may remain on the glass surface, which will be difficult to tear off.

How can you ensure that a washed window is transparent and shiny - without any extra marks? There is one little trick.

The essence of the life hack

It is advisable to wash windows not with plain water, but with a liquid with a certain additive. We are talking about starch.

The correct ratio is as follows: 1 tbsp of bulk product per liter of water.

The resulting mixture should be applied to the windows using a sponge or cloth. Then the surface should be carefully wiped.

After completing the procedure, starch marks should be removed using a clean, water-soaked piece of cloth.

The final stage of “processing” the window should be wiping the glass with a new cloth - this time dry.

The result of all the above procedures should be the removal of all dirt, ideal shine of the glass surface and a complete absence of streaks.
