A CLEANING enthusiast has gone viral after sharing a hack which makes your windows streak-free.

Almost nothing compares to the sheer frustration when you've spent ages trying to make your windows shiny only to then notice dozens of stubborn streaks.

And according to one whizz it could be to do with the cleaning method you use.

Taking it to TikTok, Karen Shields, from Arizona, revealed the Dos and Don'ts of getting your windows sparkling again, claiming it took her more than 50 years to learn how to do this ''properly''.

In the video, which has since taken the internet by storm, racking up a whopping 4.7 million views, Karen said that in the past she would always struggle with making the windows clean.

''I'd always scrub forever and would still see cloudy streaks and have to redo.''

This ''old way'', as Karen revealed, involved using a spray glass cleaner and a paper towel – a common combo amongst cleaning fans.

But now instead scrubbing up and down for what felt like ''forever'', the Arizona-based guru had discovered a new method.

For this, she instructed, grab an empty spray bottle and fill it with 2/3 of water and 1/3 of white vinegar – a common kitchen staple sitting in all cupboards.

Not only is this solution is effective, but also doesn't contain any harmful chemicals and costs almost next to nothing.

''You so shiney [sic],'' Karen caption the video, which has been liked by close to 265,000 people on the social media giant.

''Now we finally found a purpose for The New York Times… lol,'' one viewers chuckled, whilst a second joked: ''the hardest part about this hack is finding the newspaper.''
