Spring Cleaning For People Who Hate Spring Cleaning

ICYMI, dirty windows have done nobody any favors. If you want to keep yours streak-free, take a cue from Beata Lajos, health, safety, and hygiene manager at Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva.

"Before cleaning, use a soft cloth to remove any dust," she says. "In a spray bottle, mix one-part white vinegar to 10-parts warm water. Generously spray the solution on your windows. Then, with the same cloth, [ wipe] the glass. Use another clean, lint-free cloth to dry the window immediately after.”
