Angela Ann Doherty, known as @cleaningwithangelaannd on TikTok, has built a loyal following for her no-nonsense cleaning hacks, and this one's already getting a lot of attention.
She claims the secret to streak-free windows is all about technique and timing.
Angela explained: 'Only use a tiny bit of washing up liquid."
She then advises to wash and dry your window as normal but here's the magic step - buff it up with a Vileda shammy.
According to her, this leaves glass absolutely gleaming.
But she's got a stern warning, whatever you do, don't try it on a sunny day.
Angela said: 'The sun reacts with the bubbles and causes smears."
And she's not having any of the old-school advice either.
She warned fans to steer clear of "newspaper and vinegar" as the newspaper will clump, causing another mess to clean up and in Angela's words the vinegar "just stinks".
I was gutted when scrubbing didn't get my 'stained' blender clean, then remembered a £3.25 spray I had in the cupboard
The traveller TikToker swears by this method and insists it's a family secret passed down from her mum, promising you won't be disappointed.
Her fans love her for being straight-talking and honest about everything, from hoovering holy pictures, to drying surfaces with extra-thick yellow cloths to help ease the pain in her hands.
And if you want your house smelling as fresh as it looks, she's also obsessed with baby powder-scented Spanish cleaning sprays, all of which she gets from the Little Spanish Cleaning Company.
So there you have it, if you want your windows gleaming, ditch the vinegar, avoid the sunshine, and grab yourself a shammy.
Your house, and your nose, will thank you.
Meanwhile, it's not just windows that Angela is mad about.
The traveller has revealed how she spends 40 minutes a day cleaning her front and back doors.
Angela Ann Doherty, who has white PVC doors and windows, is determined to keep them looking clean and shiny.
She explained that she scrubs them thoroughly to ensure 'every nook and cranny' is sparkling clean before rewashing them.
She's keen to share her tips and tricks, having previously shared the six life lessons they are taught as young girls, with one of the key rules revolving around food and drink.

Tammy Hembrow sets tongues wagging as she flaunts massive diamond ring on her left hand while wearing her new AFL beau Bailey Smith's jacket
Tammy Hembrow sure knows how to stay in the headlines. The fitness influencer, who is currently dating AFL heartthrob Bailey Smith, has once again sent her fans into a tailspin by showing off a giant diamond ring on her left hand while wearing the sports star's jacket. Tammy wore the rock on her middle finger as she headed out in her Bentley on Monday. She posted a picture of her hand holding a protein shaker containing her supplements while rugged up in Bailey's grey Adidas windbreaker. 'Baileys jacket,' one person wrote in the comments, pointing out that the influencer was wearing the zip-up that Bailey carried on their first date. The jacket has already featured in a TikTok posted by Tammy last week, which appeared to take aim at the intense interest the relationship has attracted since the pair went public. Tammy sat in her car and mimed the words to a popular trending audio clip from the Barbie film while wearing the jacket. 'Don't be f***ing boring. This whole town is so f***ing boring. I don't care,' Tammy mouthed, while shooting bratty looks at the camera. Bailey, 24, who plays for the Geelong Cats in Victoria, has flown to the Gold Coast two weekends in a row to spend time with the 31-year-old. The couple were first seen leaving hand-in-hand after a meal at swanky Asian fusion restaurant Rick Shores at Burleigh Heads before being caught making out at another restaurant. The pair were more recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll to Nobby's Beach, where the footy player appeared to have his arm wrapped around Tammy's hips. Since Tammy's public appearances with the AFL star, her ex Matt Zukowski has admitted he felt 'hurt' watching his former wife move on so quickly after their break-up. The Love Island star also hinted he was the one to end things between them, despite some speculating it was Tammy who took the lead. The jacket already has featured in a TikTok posted by Tammy last week, which appeared to take aim at the intense interest the relationship has attracted since the pair went public with their blossoming courtship (pictured) Since Tammy's public appearances with the AFL star, her ex Matt has said he felt 'hurt' watching his former wife move on so quickly after their break-up 'A couple of months ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life. I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me,' he told his Where's Your Head At? podcast co-host Anna McEvoy on Thursday. 'It was unhealthy for me.' Matt and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating. They tied the knot almost a year later, in November 2024, but split rumours began to circulate earlier this year. In June, just seven months after tying the knot, the pair announced their divorce.

Virgin Mary 'glow-up' sparks outrage in Spain after statue's makeover 'left her looking like she got botched plastic surgery'
The restoration of an iconic 17th century statue of the Virgin Mary has sparked outrage among worshippers who claim it left her looking like she got 'botched plastic surgery'. La Macarena - a beloved 5ft 9in wooden effigy of the Virgin Mary in Seville, Spain - was sent out from her shrine back in June for some regular touch ups. However when she came back, furious devotees said they no longer recognised her face. Her glow-up saw her gain longer eye lashes, a changes to the colour of her complexion and tweaks to her skin and nose. La Macarena's usual restorer, Francisco Arquillo Torres, 85, is now in disgrace and lying low following the botched procedure. He had offered to do just a general check up, to remove the stains in tear duct and inspect her eyelashes. But Seville's faithful and those who travel from across the world to catch a glimpse of the figure during the city's Holy Week parades were left demanding answers. 'Her facial expression has completely changed,' one outraged worshipper told Spanish newspaper El Pais. 'It pains me deeply to say it, but she looks like a poor copy of the original.' 'It was like she got makeup,' another added to The New York Times. 'And the Macarena cannot be made up!' One woman even accused Mr Arquillo, a professor at the University of Seville who has worked on the figure for years, of 'murdering' the Virgen live on television. The makeover sparked huge protests in Seville and also triggered instability within the Brotherhood of the Macarena - the group entrusted with protecting her image. Hundreds of angry worshippers gathered outside the Basilica de la Macarena in June calling for the resignation of the brotherhood's leader. The church quickly issued an apology and closed for half a day while last minute touch ups were carried out. And when it reopened, the effigy, which is paraded around Seville every year during the city's historic Semana Santa celebrations, had shorter eyelashes. However, the changes did little to quell the unrest - with worshippers saying her facial expression had got even worse. Pedro Manzano, the Seville's 'doctor' to the divine, has now been entrusted to fix La Macarena's botched makeover. 'It's a big responsibility, there's nothing more dangerous than this job,' Manzano told The Times. 'If people don't like what you do, they can come at you on the street.' Nevertheless it is expected to be months before La Macarena reappears above the Basilica in Seville. The religious icon's controversial makeover has been likened to the botched art restoration of a painting of Jesus Christ, which resulted in the artwork being dubbed: 'Monkey Christ'. In 2012, Cecilia Giménez, 82, decided to touch up the 'Ecce Homo' (Behold The Man) fresco in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy church in Borja, northern Spain. However, her brushwork completely obliterated the face of Jesus transforming the painting into what locals described as more like a hedgehog or hairy monkey rather than Jesus. It also comes after a Polish village was left outraged earlier this year after a botched renovation of a 1820 shrine of Jesus and the Virgin Mary left the Blessed Mother looking like a 'Simpsons' cartoon character. Once described by experts as 'tall and slender', the Virgin Mary statue just outside the village of Stuszionka now has oversized mitten-like hands, exaggerated eyes and a crooked frown accentuated by bright red lipstick. The figure of Jesus, meanwhile, appears to be wearing grey underpants, and both figures have been repainted with an unnatural yellow hue. Posting a photo on Facebook, the Conservator of Monuments said: 'A rather rare depiction of the Virgin Mary looking upwards. 'Another example of good intentions... Let's hope that in the near future this valuable object will receive professional conservation, because it deserves it very much.' It added that the unknown restorer had also painted over the shrine's original German inscription, replacing it with the markings 'VII 2024, JC 2,' written in what appears to be a black marker pen. Locals vented their fury with the botch job, with some describing it as 'desecration'. Posting on social media, one outraged viewer said: 'The times of the greatest barbarity and ignorance of Spirit and Reason have come.' Another commented: 'I would take a risk and notify the prosecutor's office about offending religious feelings. Because this is nothing more than an example of desecrating an object of religious worship.'

Geri Halliwell-Horner celebrates her mum Ana's 80th birthday by dancing to ABBA songs in fun-filled girls' night video
Geri Halliwell-Horner celebrated her mum Ana's 80th birthday by dancing to ABBA songs in the garden during a wholesome girls' night. The former Spice Girl and her loved ones saw in another year for Ana by having a well-needed girly get together on Sunday. Geri shared a heartfelt post on Instagram where she thanked her Spanish mum for the music in a nod to the iconic ABBA ballad. A group of nine women were all laughing and cheering in the sunset as they sang to two different ABBA hits - including the 1980 classic Thank You For The Music, as well as Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!. Celebrations were well underway as they all appeared in good spirits, with Geri oozing main character energy as she partied with her nearest and dearest. She wrote: 'Happy birthday Mama! 80 today. Thank you for the music' alongside two pink hearts. It's no secret that Geri and her mum are incredibly close. In 2021, the music star called her mum a 'wonderful, strong and caring mother and grandmother figure'. Elsewhere, Geri has been a supportive figure to her husband Christian Horner following the news he was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull, one year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. It ends the longest reign of Formula One team principals in the sport and comes a year after the scandal. Red Bull issued a statement confirming the news, reading: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today, Wednesday 9 July 2025, and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.' Horner's former Spice Girl wife Geri stood by her husband after the explosive accusations rocked the Formula One paddock last year. Horner has vehemently denied the claims. Screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages between Horner and a Red Bull employee were leaked anonymously the day after a three-week investigation, carried out externally, cleared the 51-year-old of all allegations. Horner survived accusations of coercive behaviour towards his colleague – and was twice cleared in internal investigations of wrongdoing. Elsewhere, Geri has faced yet another blow when it was revealed her book company has racked up a huge £1million debt. According to a new publication Geri could now be facing her own troubles as her company Falcon Queen Productions has sunk further into the red. The Mirror reports, Geri had a deficit of £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 the previous year. The singer released her children's books, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen and Rose Frost: Ice On Fire via the firm. However, her 'main company, Wonderful Productions, earned £2.16m in the 12 months to August last year.' Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls' fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals.
