People are just realising there’s a hidden button on windows that makes chore so much easier & it’s blowing their minds

A WOMAN has left people in shock after revealing a hidden button on windows, that makes a household chore so much easier.

Cleaning windows can be an annoying task to undertake, as corners can be tricky to get to.

However, cleaning whizz Danielle, who often shares useful cleaning tips to her 1.9 million followers, took to TikTok to reveal that there’s a simple trick which can make the task so much easier.

“At the bottom and the top of the windows, you will notice these button that say push”, she said, sharing a clip of her window frame.

 “Push the buttons down together and pull the window over to the left.

“This extends the window more open so it leaves a lovely big gap for you to fit your arm out and clean the outside of your upstairs windows.”

Danielle demonstrated how, when the window was fully opened, she could reach her arm right through, and scrub the outside of the window with ease.

However, she warned people to be extra careful not to fall out of the window.

Once she had finished cleaning, she simply closed the window as normal, and said that this will lock the window back in place, as normal.

Danielle revealed that her fool proof method for cleaning windows without any streaks is to use a mixture of washing up liquid and white vinegar.

Then, she recommended using a window vac to suck up all of the suds on the glass.

“Tidy up the window frames with a super absorbent cloth”, she advised.

Sharing another tip, Danielle said that you should clean the outside of your windows really early in the morning, or late in the day.

“The sun will dry the products onto your windows too quickly”, and this will leave them streaky”, she said.

Danielle’s (@cleaningwithdanielled) video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 134.000 views on the video sharing platform.

World’s longest-serving death row inmate Iwao Hakamada, 88, is ACQUITTED after spending 56 years facing execution

THE world’s longest-serving death row inmate has been acquitted more than 50 years after he was sentenced.

Former boxer Iwao Hakamada, 88, was jailed in 1968 for quadruple murder and has spent 56 year waiting to be executed.

But today, a Japanese court has ruled Hakamada was not guilty in a retrial – reversing an earlier wrongful conviction after decades on death row.

His acquittal by the Shizuoka District Court makes him the fifth death-row convict to be found not guilty in a retrial in postwar Japanese criminal justice.

Hakamada was convicted of murder in the 1966 killing of a company manager and three of his family members, and setting a fire to their central Japan home.

He was sentenced to death in 1968, but was not executed due to lengthy appeals and the retrial process.

Mum’s tragic last post saw her thank family for pre-surgery gift just hours before she died from BBL op in UK clinic

THE final post of a tragic mum-of-five – believed to be the first person in the UK to die from a Brazilian bum lift – can be revealed.

Alice Webb was having the cosmetic treatment at a studio in Gloucester on Monday evening when it “went wrong”.

Police later confirmed two people had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over the horror.

The night before her death, the 33-year-old posted a photo on Facebook of a small pumpkin – a pre-surgery “present” from her daughter.

She added: “How cute.”

In the comments, she put a second snap of the pumpkin having been carved, with a candle inside, and wrote: “My little lamp.”

Officers rushed to the studio – in a residential address – at around 11.30pm the following evening after the alarm was raised with ambulances already at the scene.

Alice was taken to the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary but died shortly after in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The mum’s death was also confirmed by campaign group Save Face.

In the past few years at least 28 Brits have died — seven in Turkey — after complications from BBL ops.

Her devastated partner Dane Knight, 38, posted a tribute online saying: “Want to say a heartfelt thank you to all family and friends that were here for us at our time of need, including all of the kind messages sent to my children and myself.

“There was some very beautiful messages sent by some of your children that formed a start of a smile from the corner of my kids mouth.”

Alice, who has five daughters aged between seven and 15, was also involved in the beauty treatment industry as an advanced aesthetic practitioner.

GoFundMe page set up by her pal Abigail Irwin also paid tribute to Alice after the tragedy.

She wrote: “Alice was a beautiful person inside and out and I feel very lucky to have known her and to have spent time with her in our salon.”

Gloucestershire Police told The Sun: “Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of a woman in her 30s in Gloucester.

“Police had been called by the ambulance service at around 11.35pm on Monday (23 September) with a report a woman had become unwell following a suspected cosmetic procedure.

“She was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and died in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Her next of kin and the coroner are aware.

“The woman’s family are being supported by specially trained officers.

“An investigation, led by the Major Crime Investigation Team, is ongoing. The two people who had been arrested have been released on police bail.”

Alice's death is tragic - BBL procedures are a crisis waiting to happen

THE director of plastic surgery campaign group Save Face Ashton Collins told The Sun:

I am devastated to hear of Alice’s tragic passing.

We launched a campaign in December 2023 calling upon the government to take urgent action to ban these procedures.

We made it absolutely clear, that without urgent intervention someone would die. It makes me incredibly sad and angry that today, our fear has been confirmed and a family has been shattered.

Liquid BBL procedures are a crisis waiting to happen. They are advertised on social media as ‘risk-free’, ‘cheaper’ alternatives to the surgical counterpart and that could not be further from the truth.

We have supported over 500 women who have suffered complications because of these treatments, many of which have nearly died.

Over 50% of the cases reported to us contracted sepsis and 39% needed corrective surgery.

All of the procedures reported to us were carried out by non-healthcare practitioners who are carrying out incredibly dangerous procedures in unsterile environments.

They were unable to identify and manage the complications they inflicted upon their clients, often misdiagnosing abscesses, and tissue necrosis as bruising.

I am flabbergasted and appalled by the unscrupulous nature of the people who are still offering these treatments even though they know some of their patients have been hospitalised and will no doubt continue to do so after hearing this awful news.

It is outrageous that laypeople feel it is appropriate for them to offer treatments that surgeons will not perform because they are too dangerous.

We will not stop campaigning until these procedures are banned and those who cause harm to people are held criminally accountable.

5 ways to keep your house warm in winter

Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.

1. Curtains

“Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.

This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.

2. Rugs

“Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly,” he continued. “You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.

“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”

3. Check your insulation

Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.

“Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30,” Joshua explained.

4. Keep your internal doors closed

“Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room,” Joshua said.

“This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”

5. Block drafts 

Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren’t secure.

Someone else penned: “I just ran there today and got it! I absolutely love it.” 

Meanwhile, one fashionista asked: “Are they oversized or do you need to size up?” 

To this, the content creator replied and confirmed: “I went for the size medium which is a 12 – 14.

“I’m normally [size] small but wanted it oversized. I wouldn’t say it’s massively oversized.”
