Britain is expecting a heatwave over the next few weeks, so why not clean your windows ready to enjoy that summer sun shining in your home?

On days when you're inside, the sunshine can really brighten up your home - but if your windows are grimy and dirty then you won't see this benefit.

Unfortunately, window cleaning is quite tedious so it's one of the chores that most people seem to put off until absolutely necessary - but with such nice weather due to arrive within the next week, this is the time to get your hands dirty.

First things first, you need to make sure that you have all of the tools and equipment that you might need to do a good job. You either want to head to your local supermarket and pick up a commercial window cleaning product, or arm yourself with a bucket of warm, soapy water.

However, don't use too much soap, as this can cause streaks on your windows. If you've opted for a cleaning product, then make sure that you follow the instructions on the bottle. Ideally you also want a squeegee, but if you can't get your hands on one then a cloth will do.

If this entire process is already beginning to sound exhausting though, then why not call in the experts? It can be very affordable to hire a window cleaner, and they bring their own equipment which you can be confident is top-quality.

Also, it means that you can kick back and relax in the sun knowing that next time you head indoors, your windows will be sparkling.
