There's nothing more frustrating than seeing your pristine kitchen spoiled by greasy fingerprints.

Whether it's kids or a partner who can't resist touching every cupboard in search of a glass, those pesky smudges can quickly tarnish your cleaning efforts. They might be easy to clean off, but keeping them at bay is the real battle.

Fear not, as cleaning guru and home decor enthusiast Alison Chadwick has divulged a 'miracle' tip that she swears by. Her go-to method doesn't rely on pricey, harsh chemicals and will cost you a mere £1.55. Chances are, you've already got the necessary items at home....

Alison, known to her legion of over 100,000 fans as The Chadwick Home online, is celebrated for her nifty tips that keep homes gleaming. In a recent clip, the home improvement buff combines equal parts dishwasher rinse aid with white vinegar in an empty spray bottle, adds a 'squirt' of washing-up liquid, and tops it up with warm water.

"No more fingerprints," she declared, demonstrating how she applies the concoction across her kitchen surfaces and gadgets. After the mixture air dries, Chadwick shows off its effectiveness by pressing her finger against the treated spots, confirming that no prints are left behind.

If you're on the hunt for budget-friendly washing-up supplies, Asda is offering a bottle of Fairy liquid at an unbeatable price of £1, while Amazon has a bundle of five 320ml bottles for only £10.99. Tesco is selling white vinegar at 35p for 568ml, or get a bulk buy from Amazon at £6.99 for 5l. If you're in need of rinse aid, head to your local Home Bargains where it costs just £1.20.
