Woman shares two-ingredient hack for streak-free windows that'll take 10 minutes

Many folks loathe the chore of window glass cleaning , often a time-consuming task requiring an arsenal of costly products to keep the panes gleaming and streak-free.

Yet, Eliza Cross, a cleaning guru and the brains behind Happy Simple Living, has let slip that the "best way to clean windows without streaks" is by whipping up a DIY concoction with staples from your pantry.

It might raise eyebrows, but a combo of dish soap and the same white vinegar you sprinkle on fries turns out to be a top-notch window cleaner, adept at dissolving grime and other stubborn films on your windows.

The secret to vinegar's effectiveness lies in its quick evaporation compared to water, ensuring it doesn't leave any streaky evidence behind, so you're left with nothing but crystal-clear windows in a flash, reports the Express .

Vinegar's superpower as a cleanser comes from its acidity, which not only tackles the misty condensation that often plagues windows during the fall but also makes short work of any blemishes on the glass.

Dish soap brings its own magic to the mix, engineered to slice through grease and loosen up those pesky, persistent stains on glass, making them a breeze to banish.

This classic life-hack requires nothing more than a bit of newsprint for windows that sparkle. According to Eliza, "In case you're wondering, newspaper is the perfect medium for washing windows because the newsprint's slightly abrasive texture gets the glass squeaky clean."
