Online platform tombola warned Britons to refrain from cleaning the windows over the next few weeks. Why?
According to the experts, most people in the UK use vinegar to clean their windows.
The experts from tombola explained that vinegar “makes for a great natural substitute for cleaning windows as it is cheap and doesn’t streak”.
However, they warned that it can have the opposite effect if used in the summer.
“It’s best not to do it on a warm day as it could actually streak!” they said.

“The sun could dry the cleaning solution before you’ve had a chance to get to it, leaving you with streaks on your not-so-gleaming windows.”
If the windows need to be washed regardless, people should opt for a squeegee to clean them faster and more efficiently on warm days.
The cleaning experts also recommended: “If you do choose to clean your windows on a very warm day, clean small surface areas at a time to avoid soap suds drying onto the glass.
“The best way to clean your windows with vinegar is to clean with one part hot water to one part distilled vinegar,” they advised.
