Allan Reid Shares 29p Vinegar Method for Streak-Free Winter Windows

A five-step routine uses a 1:10 distilled vinegar mix with careful drying to cut costs versus commercial sprays.

Overview

  • The Art Windows & Doors founder sets out a simple sequence: rinse first, spray evenly, dry with a paper towel, squeegee or microfiber cloth, then finish with long, even strokes.
  • The recommended solution is one part distilled white vinegar to ten parts warm water in a spray bottle.
  • Retailers sell distilled vinegar from about 29p, making the approach a budget-friendly DIY alternative to branded cleaners.
  • Reid says winter’s low sun highlights streaks and recommends cleaning windows once or twice a year depending on location.
  • Reports also cite research that many Britons worry about home cleanliness and note a user video claiming Fairy Liquid reduces condensation, neither backed by scientific testing.
