UK experts recommend white bread for window cleaning

Households in the UK are being encouraged to use white bread to clean their windows this week. This unusual tip aims to leave windows sparkling clean. White bread is a staple in many UK kitchens. It is often used for sandwiches and simple meals like beans on toast. Now, it seems bread can also help with window cleaning. Experts from Vidalux.co.uk suggest that the starch in bread can lift stains from glass surfaces. The soft and slightly moist texture of white bread can easily pick up dust, grease, and fingerprints. A spokesperson from Vidalux noted that achieving a streak-free finish on glass can be challenging. They recommended using common household items instead of expensive cleaners. For example, half a lemon can also clean glass effectively. According to the experts, the gluten in white bread acts like an adhesive, grabbing particles off the glass. Other items like a potato can also work well for cleaning glass. Unlike paper towels, bread won’t scratch the glass. For best results, remove the crust and gently rub the bread over dirty areas. Finally, use a dry cloth to wipe away any crumbs for a clean finish.
