Plus, it can even clean plant pots and radiators.

Are you fed up with glass cleaning products that still leave your windows and mirrors smeary? Well, a new cleaning hack is here to help — and it uses a household product you probably already have in your cupboard at home.

There are many cleaning secrets when it comes to removing fingerprints and smears from glass objects, including using a spritz of gin, which is a popular 1940s household hack. But a new hack, which has been shared on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargaining, reveals how supermarket fabric softener mixed with warm water can wonderfully clean mirrors and windows — without leaving any streaks, reports The Metro.

You'll need fabric softener and warm water, mixed well, and then dipped in a cotton cloth, before wringing out. You can clean any windows, mirrors or other mirrored objects and watch your home look (and smell) amazing.

Jade, a member of the Facebook group, said on the page: ' I love it. I’ve done my lounge windows and pvc, fireplace, snow globes, plant pots, and picture frames looks and smells amazing. Seen a lot of people use Comfort but I used Aldi's Almat for just over £2. You can use on tiled or wood flooring too! The results are amazing!

'I used a large bowl, cap of softener, 3/4 warm water. If goes on creamy/slimy then just add more water. I’ve seen people use cotton cloths. I used microfibre to put on the glass cloth to rub off,' Jade continues.

Not only will it add a fresh scent to your home, it also stops dust from sticking onto surfaces and mirrors. Other members of the cleaning Facebook group explained that they also used fabric conditioner for cleaning radiators and vacuum cleaners.
