A woman has unveiled her simple trick for cleaning glass without any streaks, and thinks it could be a "game-changer" for anyone struggling to get a sparkling finish themselves.

Cara, a mum from Australia, used one simple ingredient with some hot water and kitchen towel to scrub the glass surfaces in her home, and she was left stunned with the gleaming results.

Getting rid of pesky water marks or streaks from glass is one of the most tedious cleaning tasks around, but this little-known method has left many people in awe and vowing to use the trick on their showers or other surfaces.

When cleaning the glass in her home, Cara tried using Citric Acid with hot water on some paper towels to see if that would help get rid of calcium build up on the glass surfaces.

Citric Acid can be very effective for cleaning and and only costs £1.75 in Wilko.

She posted on the Mums Who Clean Facebook page about her triumph and shared her method.

Cara dissolved a quarter of a cup of citric acid in three quarters of a cup of boiling water.

She combined the two in a rectangular container so that she could then lay the paper towels flat in the mixture before sticking them to the glass surface.

After just half a minute she then wiped them off with the debris.

She said: "Calcium build up magic!

"I used citric acid - it just eats through all the build up.

"And it's not harmful to the environment or yourself. A total game changer!"

She finished by saying she was now excited to clean her shower after her success with the new trick.

In response, many other mums thanked Cara for the trick and were excited to use it themselves.

One wrote: "This is great, I will definitely buy some and give it a go. You could add in some hydrogen peroxide for mould cleaning!"

While another stated: "You have an awesome brain and logic to think of this - looks so amazing!"

A third penned: "This is why I use dishwashing liquid to clean my toilet, it has citric acid."

However, others were less keen on the trick and felt it might not be so effective.

Somebody wrote: "This is very time consuming, and it would take a lot of paper towels to clean the shower."
