Window glass can be the victim of stains and streaks that sometimes appear to reappear even after heavy cleaning. However, according to Adam Pawson, head of Safestyle Digital, the answer to the “shiny” glass could be hidden in the kitchen cupboard.
Mr. Pawson recommends using powdered yeast after cleaning the windows to get rid of residual streaks.
He said: “I would recommend using an aerosol consisting of one part distilled vinegar (white) to 10 parts warm water that can be applied directly to a cloth before rubbing evenly against the glass.
“To get some extra shine, sprinkle some powdered yeast on the cloth before adding the solution and it will help the cleaning process.
“If you have stubborn streaks that don’t seem to go away, try running the area with clean water to help remove any of the remaining solution.”

How to get “striped” windows.
Before starting the cleaning process, Pawson says there is an “important” step that is often overlooked.
He explained: “Window stains can be very frustrating and ruin the look of your property, but there are many ways to make sure they disappear.
“Most importantly, make sure you use microfiber or paper towels to remove dust before you start.”
Then add your solution of one part white distilled vinegar to 10 parts water in a spray bottle.
For more shine, spray baking soda on a cloth and wipe the glass to help with the cleaning solution, then spray the windows.
Pawson said: “For PVC window frames, marks and stains should be removed easily.
“Fill a bowl with some warm water and laundry detergent and use a soft white cloth to clean it.
“Avoid using a colored cloth, as the dye can stain the plastic.”
You can tackle any hard-to-reach area with an old toothbrush that can help loosen dirt, dust, and cobwebs.
The Safestyle expert added: “Then use the hose of your vacuum cleaner to get rid of any residue before wiping the area with an antibacterial product.”
Be sure to clean both interior and exterior windows for a thorough cleaning.
Pawson said: “This time of year means a lot of changes for our plants and trees, which means that shrubs and leaves can easily reach your windows.
“It doesn’t make sense to clean the inside of the window if the outside is full of mud, so go outside and clean the windows of any leaves or petals to give them a perfect finish.”
