Although various cleaning products were recommended, including Viakal and white vinegar, most included a mention of Fairy washing-up liquid, which currently costs 99p at Aldi for an original 0.32l bottle.

This person suggested: “Rinse aid and fairy liquid and a hard scrubbing brush then use window cleaner and a squeegee xx.”

One commented: “Washing up liquid and a non scratch pad. Then glass cleaner with a glass cloth no need to use strong stuff like viakal.”

Another user who also didn’t recommend Viakal “on large areas” wrote: “I use white vinegar and washing up liquid in the sponge handle cleaner. Viakal initially but I personally avoid using viakal on large areas and use on silver taps for shine, only because of the strong smell.”

“I leave white vinegar on for 20minutes then do a standard fairy up liquid wash with a sponge, rinse and dry with paper,” added this Facebook profile.
