FLOOR-to-ceiling windows give a home a sleek and expensive appearance but they can be frustrating to clean.
Home hack expert and cleaning fanatic Steph Gigliotti, who goes by @stephgigliotti28 on TikTok, revealed how she takes care of her large windows.
“This is my outside window cleaner recipe that is guaranteed to get your sparkling windows outside, without drying them,” she began.
Steph combined two cups of white vinegar with two tablespoons of dawn liquid soap into a large bucket.
She filled it up with hot water and began cleaning.
“We back up to a farm, so our windows get very dirty,” she explained.

Before applying the solution, she rinsed the windows down with a hose.
Next, she took the sponge-mop that she bought at Dollar Tree, dunked it into the vinegar-dawn solution and began wiping down the windows.
Afterwards, she rinsed the surface off with hose water again.
“And that’s seriously it. Just let them air-dry and they will be sparkling and spot-free.”
In her caption, Steph revealed that she only needs to clean the outside once a year—and the results are enviable.
As for the inside of your windows, there’s a product out there that does a much better job than a paper towel—and it can also be bought at the Dollar Tree.
An organization expert and self-proclaimed “DIY Queen” who goes by @SouthernEscape on TikTok said she knows the way to curb your paper towel usage and still get the shiniest windows ever.
“Run to the Dollar Tree and get yourself this microfiber mitt and replace all of your paper towels,” she began.
“We can use this to clean all of our windows, all of our mirrors, and it was one dollar.”
She used the fluffy mitt with some Dawn Platinum Powerwash to rub down her glass surfaces and showed off how well it worked.
The cleaning pro claimed that 13 billion pounds of paper towels are used each year, adding that it takes 17 trees to only make one ton of paper towels.

“Did you know that Americans on average spend like 5.7 billion dollars a year on paper towel? That’s dumb,” she said.
While she admitted that she definitely contributed to that number, she is now trying to cut back on her usage—which is why she shared the mitt.
