Introduction:
While Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is most commonly associated with skincare, it’s also a surprisingly versatile household essential. One lesser-known but incredibly effective use? Applying it to windows. Even the wealthiest homeowners—who can afford high-end alternatives—rely on this simple trick. Why? Because Vaseline offers unique benefits that even luxury solutions can’t easily replicate.
Ingredients:
Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
Clean microfiber cloth
Warm water and mild dish soap (for pre-cleaning)
Optional: cotton swabs for precision
Preparation:
Clean the window frames and sills using warm water and dish soap to remove dirt, dust, and grime.
Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
Dip your fingers or a cloth into a small amount of Vaseline.
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline along the edges of window tracks, rubber seals, and corners.
Buff gently with a microfiber cloth to distribute evenly and remove excess.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Reapply every few months, especially before winter, to maintain effectiveness.
Store Vaseline in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent contamination.
Use cotton swabs for hard-to-reach areas in window tracks or seals.
