Windows get dirty quickly. Dust and dirt settle on the surface, and streaks and stains remain after washing.

Experts have advised how to clean windows perfectly without chemicals. White vinegar is often used to clean windows because it quickly and effectively breaks down any residue on the glass. The Express newspaper talked about some of the nuances of home cleaning.

You will need:

• white vinegar
• a bottle with a sprayer
• warm water
• dishwashing detergent
• soft brush
• sponge

The first step is to get rid of the mold. The fungus is caused by temperature differences, improper insulation, or even poorly installed windows. Wipe the window sills and frames with a paper towel.
