Homemade starch mixture tackles stubborn pollen on windows

As spring and early summer arrive, many residents face a common nuisance: a yellow layer of dust and pollen coating their windows, sills, and even outdoor furniture. This fine, sticky, and somewhat rough substance can be particularly stubborn, often leaving streaks that are further highlighted by the sun.

Simply wiping with a damp cloth is often ineffective and can even worsen the problem, according to cleaning experts. The nature of pollen requires a specific approach to avoid smearing or scratching delicate surfaces like glass. Traditional cleaning methods may struggle against this pervasive seasonal buildup.

However, a simple, homemade cleaning solution might offer an effective remedy. Emily Tweten, a creator of home care products, shared a recipe in the 'Daily Express' for a mixture incorporating starch. This concoction is reportedly capable of quickly and easily removing pollen from windows, appealing to even the most meticulous homeowners seeking a spotless finish.
