It can be tough to windows perfectly without leaving streaks. While most people opt for hot water and vinegar to do the job, one common kitchen item "works wonders" to clean windows.

A person took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips page on Facebook, which has around 537,000 members, to ask for window cleaning help. The group helps homeowners share and product recommendations. Amy Skelton posted: "What is the best product for cleaning windows that won't leave streaks please?"

Over 100 people have commented on the post. Many agreed that washing up liquid is the best item to clean windows without leaving streaks.

Yvette Connor Ritchie said: "Washing up liquid with a magic cloth." Karen Gaughan added: "Flash liquid in some warm water works wonders and buff off with a clean cloth." Nichola Louise agreed: "Washing up liquid, very small amount and hot water."

Sandra Gilbert wrote: "Drop of washing up liquid an white vinegar work every time." Kerrie Anderson commented: "Washing up liquid water and cloth then buff with newspaper always works for me old way but a one that works."

Elaine Martin put: "Hot water washing up liquid, wash windows and frames, dry off with a microfibre cloth then use newspaper to buff up the glass with no streaks or smears but never wash windows in the sunshine."

Sarah Fletcher agreed: "Warm water washing up liquid, clean window with cloth, dry with newspaper leaves no smears."

Homeowners are recommended to only use a few drops of washing up liquid when cleaning windows. It works best if it's mixed with warm water before being applied with a sponge or cloth.

Experts also advise people to avoid cleaning windows on hot days as the solution may dry quickly and cause streaks. People should always make sure the glass is completely dry afterwards.

The Residence Collection said: "One of the most basic but effective ways to clean glass is with a bucket of warm, soapy water. Just use your normal washing up liquid, diluted in water. Don't overdo it, though, and create too many soap suds as these will leave marks when they dry."
