White window sills can be kept bright and clean with simple means. UAportal has shared tips that will help to effectively eliminate yellowing and surface contamination.

Brightening solution

Prepare a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on the windowsill and leave it for a few minutes, then wipe it off with a clean cloth. The acidity of the vinegar helps eliminate yellowing and dirt buildup, leaving the window sill brighter and cleaner.

Baking soda scrub

Prepare a paste of baking soda and water, and then apply it to yellowed or dirty areas of the window sill. Then scrub gently with a sponge or soft brush. The abrasiveness of the baking soda helps remove stubborn stains and dirt and neutralizes odors. After scrubbing, wipe off the remaining paste with a damp cloth.

Lemon freshness

Add a fresh scent and extra cleaning. Cut a lemon in half and rub it on the windowsill. The natural acidity of the citrus helps to dissolve dirt and lighten any yellowing and leaves a citrusy scent. After that, wipe the windowsill with a damp cloth, and you will get a beautiful snow-white surface.
