Window cleaning can often be a tiresome, not to mention expensive, household chore but it needn’t be.

When dirt and grime build up on your windows, they reduce the amount of sunlight entering your home. 

They also affect the view from your windows, making your room increasingly unpleasant. 

The good news is that it isn’t difficult to bring the brightness back into your home if you know how to clean windows properly. 

After trialling a few window cleaning products and even household remedies like white vinegar and baking soda, one cleaning enthusiast took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page to rave over one item that she claimed “changed her life”.

Sharing a photo of the product, Linda Moore wrote: “This [Minky] cloth has changed my life. I have tried everything on my windows to the point that I was going to change the glass. 

“No chemicals. Just warm water then wring it out. Clean the window rinsing it out to go onto the next window and just leave the window to dry on its own.”

The brand describes the Minky M Cloth as being “easy to work with” and as being “built for excellent cleaning performance even without chemicals” to leave behind a “crystal clear finish every time”.

The Minky M Cloth can be picked up from The Range for £2.79 and is sold on Amazon for £3.

Customers mention that the cloth is easy to use, gets any streak out, and is great value for money. 

Alternately, households can pick up the Spontex microfibre window cleaning clothes that work similarly on Amazon for £3.36 and at Robert Dyas for £4.69.

Cleaning fans in the comments section also shared their thoughts on the Minky M Cloth. Tracy Talbot said: “Totally agree, it’s the only thing I use that doesn’t leave smears.”

Pauline Blunden wrote: “These are amazing! I have loads of them and it’s all I need for freak-free cleaning.”

Gillian Thompson claimed: “Game Changer! I have two sliding panes of glass. Each 3m wide. One I used my favourite Mr Muscle window and glass cleaner with an ordinary cloth. Perfect I thought (a few smears nothing too bad). 

“Then the other with this cloth and just warm water. Omg. No comparison. So effortless. No chemicals. Amazing shine. 

“If I missed a bit I could just go back and do that little bit and all around the damp patch dried clear with no edges to see where I had done a small patch. Perfect.”

When done using the cloth, Linda urged: “Don't wash the cloth with washing powder or anything else. Just soak in hot water then let it dry and reuse.”
