A window expert and a cleaning influencer share window-cleaning tips with LISA SALMON

CLEANING windows is not most people's favourite job. But unless you pay someone to do it for you inside and out, it's a necessary evil and it's worth knowing how to do it properly.

There are plenty of old-school tricks which claim to get your windows sparkling - but do any of them work? Absolutely, says window and door expert Paul Oxley, whose company Clear View Bi-folding Doors tested the most popular window cleaning methods to find out what actually works and what doesn't.

And cleaning content creator, podcaster and author Laura Mountford (@lauracleanaholic) also adds her top tips.

Vinegar and water is best

Mixing equal parts distilled white vinegar and water is a popular traditional cleaning method which Paul says cuts through grease and has natural disinfectant properties although it can leave a strong smell.
