Only taking a couple of minutes, a trusty condiment can sort out any major cleaning problems in your property.

Experts at MeandMyGlass.co.uk have named all of the unusual items that make glass nice and sparkly and also remove smudges.

Homeowners can go into their kitchen, grab a bottle of ketchup, and go cleaning mad.

The audacity in ketchup can break down grime and marks on a glass surface.

An expert has told that if you smudge ketchup directly onto the glass and wipe it clean with a damp, soft cloth, it will make the surface squeaky clean.

John Cutts said: “You don’t need to buy any expensive cleaning products to remove smudges, dirt and grime from your glass windows and mirrors.

“Instead, there are lots of food items sitting in the back of your kitchen cupboards that are really effective as natural cleaning products.

“Use cornstarch mixed with cold water to remove more stubborn marks on glass and tea bags rubbed across the surface will remove smudges.

“Ketchup is another kitchen staple which acts as a glass cleaner – just let the condiment sit for a couple of minutes on any stains and wipe clean with a damp cloth.”

Other household items can also work.

Tea bags have natural cleaning products great for wiping away any smudge marks from glass surfaces.

Lemon juice and fizzy drinks contain acid which breaks down dirt and stains on mirrors and windows.

A raw potato or a slice of white bread are also unusual food items which are great for wiping away stains and spot marks on glass.
