A great help for modern housewives is a glass cleaner. Just wash away the dirt, apply the spray and wipe with a rag, and the windows will become clean and sparkling.

But there are even more clever ways to wash windows in a house or apartment without streaks, even if you don’t have window spray. We’ll tell you what to add to the water.

Remedy No. 1

Kitchen windows, where grease, soot and other deposits can accumulate, are easiest to clean by adding a little soda to the water. For 1 liter of water, take 1 teaspoon of soda, or you can add it to a solution of laundry soap, dissolving shavings in water.

In advanced cases, the glass is washed with a soda solution, which is left on the glass for 10-15 minutes.

By the way, this same composition can be used to clean plastic frames and window sills, which tend to turn yellow under direct sunlight.

Remedy No. 2

Another secret to streak-free windows is to wash them with cold water, not hot or warm water.

To add shine, it will be enough to add 9% table vinegar - 1 tbsp. per liter of water.

After this, you can wipe the windows the old-fashioned way - with newspapers or a clean rag, preferably lint-free.

Remedy No. 3

It seems incredible, but you can clean up your windows after winter dirt with potato starch. It is better not to cheat with the tubers, but immediately add a teaspoon of starch to 1 liter of water, wash and wipe dry. To consolidate the result, you can wipe the glass with a vinegar solution or add a little glycerin to the water.
