Introduction: Windows are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning, but keeping them clear and streak-free can significantly improve the look of any room. Traditional window cleaning methods can leave behind residue or streaks, but there's an alternative solution that is both affordable and highly effective: starch. Using starch as a cleaning agent is a natural, non-toxic way to keep your windows shining with minimal effort. This guide will walk you through how to use starch to achieve spotless, gleaming windows.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of corn starch
1 cup of water
A clean spray bottle
A microfiber cloth or soft towel
Directions:
Prepare the Solution: In a bowl, mix the corn starch with the water. Stir well to ensure the starch dissolves completely.
Fill the Spray Bottle: Pour the solution into a clean spray bottle for easy application.
Spray on the Windows: Lightly spray the starch solution onto the surface of the window. Don’t oversaturate the glass, just a fine mist will do.
Wipe the Glass: Using a microfiber cloth, gently wipe the window in circular motions. Start from the top and work your way down to avoid any drips. The starch solution will leave a thin protective layer that helps repel dust and water spots.
Buff for a Shine: After the glass is clean, use a dry section of the cloth or another clean microfiber cloth to buff the surface. This step helps eliminate streaks and gives the window an extra shine.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: The solution works best when applied and wiped off immediately. It can be used on both interior and exterior windows, as well as mirrors for a streak-free finish.
Storage: Leftover starch solution can be stored in the spray bottle for up to a week. Make sure to shake it well before each use, as the starch may settle at the bottom of the bottle over time.
