Let's face it.
Window cleaning sucks.
Especially when you have a lot of them to clean.
And using that little spray bottle takes forever.
Not to mention all the chemicals.
Australian TikTok creator @mama_mila_ has the solution.
A Window Cleaning Solution
- 4 Cups of Water
- 2 Cups of Cleaning Vinegar
- 1/2 Cup Dishwashing Liquid
Mix that all together in a bucket and grab a squeege.
@mama_mila_ #ad The simple trick for sparkling clean windows for longer ✨ Bunnings is your one-stop-shop for all things window cleaning! @Bunnings Australia ♬ BORN FOR THIS - Foxxi
For interior windows, use a mix 50/50 of cleaning vinegar and water.
Then buff it with a microfiber cloth.
I can already hear the commenters asking "What is cleaning vinegar?"
It's a more acidic and stronger version of white vinegar.
And with all of that being available under one roof, what better excuse to pop out to bunnings this weekend.

British singer Ed Sheeran says baseless copyright claims are damaging the music industry after he won a case at the High Court in London over whether a refrain in his 2017 mega hit "Shape Of You" had been lifted from another artist.
Sheeran had been involved in a legal battle with grime artist Sami Chokri, who performs as Sami Switch, and music producer Ross O'Donoghue, who had argued the hook from "Shape of You" had been copied from their 2015 song "Oh Why".
"Whilst we're obviously happy with the result I feel like claims like this are way too common now and it's become a culture where a claim is made with the idea that a settlement will be cheaper than taking them to court, even if there's no basis for the claim," Sheeran said in a video posted on Twitter on Wednesday.
"It's really damaging to the songwriting industry."
"Shape Of You" became the best-selling digital song worldwide in 2017 and has received more than 5.6 billion views on YouTube.
The judge, Antony Zacaroli, concluded there was no evidence that Sheeran had thought of writing the hit before October 2016.
"While there are similarities between the OW (Oh Why) Hook and the OI (Oh I) Phrase, there are also significant differences," the judge concluded.
"I am satisfied that Mr Sheeran did not subconsciously copy Oh Why in creating Shape."
Sheeran had faced lengthy questioning about his work during last month's trial, with accusations from the lawyer for Chokri and O'Donoghue that he simply altered other artists' music and words to pass their work off as his own.
The singer said he always credited other artists and told the court he had never heard the "Oh Why" song he was accused of ripping off.
"There's only so many notes and very few chords used in pop music, coincidence is bound to happen," Sheeran said on Wednesday.
"I just want to say: I'm not an entity, I'm not a corporation, I'm a human being and a father and a husband and a son. Lawsuits are not a pleasant experience and I hope that this ruling means in the future baseless claims like this can be avoided."

The first trailer for Mark Wahlberg’s latest movie, Father Stu, has landed, which sees Wahlberg playing a boxer who becomes the world’s most unlikely priest.
The real-life story is an unflinchingly honest, funny and ultimately uplifting drama about a lost soul who finds his purpose in a most unexpected place.
The story of redemption, finding yourself and facing challenges also stars Mel Gibson, Jackie Weaver and Teresa Ruiz.
Anyone with dreams that didn't work out can relate to Stuart Long. But things have a way of working out the way they're supposed to.

Wahlberg, who is fanatical about keeping fit (check out his Instagram) took a break from his usual training regime, telling ET he put on nearly 14kg in six weeks for the role.
It's also the second time he and Mel Gibson have played a son and father in a movie (first time was in Daddy's Home 2).
When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) moves to LA, dreaming of stardom. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm.
Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But surviving a terrible motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others find their way, leading to the surprising realisation that he is meant to be a Catholic priest.
Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church officials and his divorced parents (Mel Gibson and Jacki Weaver), Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way.
Father Stu will be exclusively in cinemas in Australia from May 12.

Volley Australia have teamed up with mental health organisation Black Dog Institute to create a one-of-a-kind Mullet Shoe with all proceeds going towards supporting mental health.
Some may have thought the new product was an April fools prank, but Volleys have confirmed their Mullet Volleys are available to pre-order and 100% of the profits will be donated to charity. Volley Australia announced on their socials, "Now that April Fools Day is over and all the jokes are done, it's time we get serious and talk about mental health.”
The product description on their website says:
"Did someone say it’s a mullet shoe?! No, this isn’t a prank, our MULLET VOLLEYS have landed. We’ve partnered with Black Dog Institute to support Mullets for Mental Health with 100% of the profits from the shoe will be donated to the charity. A shoe the world has never seen. Show your support #MulletsforMentalHealth. This shoe is limited edition with limited stock available."
The limited-edition version of their Heritage High shoe comes with a velcro detachable mullet so those who can’t grow a mullet themselves can wear one on their shoes. Next best thing right? The mullet can be styled, cut, died and personalised to however you want to rock it!
Partnering with Black Dog Institute, the profits of the shoes will go towards their Mullets for Mental Health initiative which encourages people to grow mullets for the month of September. With suicide being the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15-44, approximately 60% of Australians who report symptoms of mental illness don’t actually seek help. The money raised will go towards research into the early detection, prevention and also treatment of common mental health disorders.
The limited release Volley shoe is available to purchase on their website for $84.99 and is expected to be released on the 15th of April 2022.
