Glass cleaning

Question

Does anyone know how i can clean my dresser mirror and glass table without leaving streaks?

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Have you tried white vinegar on newspaper?

Carol · Answer

There is a wonderful window cleaning spray called Sprayway, available at Target and other stores. I use it on my bathroom mirrors. It is amazing and has never let me down. For my exterior windows I use a little NON-SUDSING ammonia in warm water and an Ettore (the Cadillac of squeegees!) squeegee. Windows stay clean much longer when a squeegee is used.

Amy · Answer

Whatever you clean with, use one micro fiber towel to clean & one Terry cloth towel to dry & buff.

Anney · Answer

I use the Sprayaway product also. And I have found the cloths that I use must not be washed with any fabric softener used in the rinse cycle at all. I use a micro fiber cloth and terry cloth to dry and buff also.

After several years of housecleaning jobs, the very best 'tools' I have for mirrors and windows are not cheap, but sooo worth the cost. Check out the Norwex brand enviro cloth(micro fiber) and polishing cloth.They are two things I would never do without for a streak free clean using water only. I have found similar, but cheaper quality, micro fiber cloths/towels and polishing cloths at a dollar store and also big box hardware store. Just not as happy with them. Several people had told me about them but I refused to spend the money... until my daughter let me use hers and I was sold!

Helen · Answer

Dish soap in warm water, you can use and old t/shirt or micro cloth, squeegy off then buff with scrunched up newspaper. I use this method for windows, mirrors etc and always fab results! :-)

M. How · Answer

For mirrors and glass tops on furniture, I use 1 part vinegar and 2 parts hot water. wipe down with a paper towel and immediately dry with a second paper towel. Vinegar has no surfactant in it so dust and dirt does not cling.

For windows I use the same method PLUS either silicone spray or WD40.

This is how I do the last step: Fold a paper towel into quarters. On one quarter spray the silicone or wd40 on to the paper towel. Wipe the window either left to right or up and down. Then take another paper towel, fold into quarters and wipe the window until it shines. Then I spray and shine my windowsill too.

The trick to this last step is using the spray sparingly and really shining the window.

Living next to two expressways and one major artery in New York, this last step keeps my windows clean for 4 to 6 months because the soot and dirt do not stick when it rains.
Try it. It will save you a lot of work.

Cindy · Answer

Norwex window cleaning cloth and enviro cloth. Never in my life has cleaning windows and mirrors been a pleasure until I bought the Norwex products. Dampen the mirror cloth and dry with enviro cloth. It never leaves streaks and is that easy.

Julie · Answer

Hot water. It leaves no residue and keeps glass looking clear and shiny. Learned this trick from a hotel maid.

Rose Piper · Answer

Julie is right i clean for a living and hot water on a white cloth is the best.

Window cleaner and newspaper w/black ink

Mandy Brown · Answer

Plain white vinegar and newspaper (not the glossy inserts).

Ellen · Answer

Get a microfiber cloth specifically for glass and HOT water. Do all your glass with that, no streaks, no going over it again and again. Cloth lasts for years. Do NOT use chemicals with it. Still using mine - over 15 years.... I love the no chemical approach.

River · Answer

Add Dawn liquid to some water, just a little, mix well, use newspaper to wipe on glass, use clean paper to wipe off. Glass shines beautiful!

Carole sharff · Answer

Norwex window cloths and only use water to wash the glass and dry with other cloth.Never streaks and also use on your windows.

Mary McNeill · Answer

Use vinegar in water with a drop of dish liquid to clean it then a clean damp cloth to remove any streaks that might remain. Don't put anything on the cloth.

Carol · Answer

I have found a great product for washing glass...it's in a spray can, called Sprayway. It is at Target and other stores. Works really well.

Pat Campbell · Answer

The microfiber worked on the mirrors. Thanks to all the ladies for their ideas. Happy New Year!!!

Jacqueline Bennett · Answer

newspaper and water and vinegar works all the time or coffe filters work well also you mix water and vinegar into a bottle and spray mirror then take the np or cf and wipe in circular motion till all vinegar mix spray is wiped dry also if you would love for them to stay streak free longer there is a product you can get called rainx and treat your mirror with that it will repel water and fog for quite along time as well as fingerprints ...this rainx can also be used on shower walls and doors to prevent crud builup[ and cleaning bathroom in a pinch without much effort hope this helps much love and may God bless you

Monica bourque · Answer

Glenna Pickering · Answer

Norwex has a mirror and window cloth that is wonderful. No streaks ever.

Sassy · Answer

I use Windex or any glass cleaner and then do the wiping with crumpled newspapers.

Lisa · Answer

Windex leaves a film and grit...that's why when you go back to look at it an hour later..you can see the dust particles start to settle. I used this Pinkcredible stuff I bought on the Home Shopping Network and I haven't cleaned my glass in my house in over one month. This stuff repels dirt and fingerprints! It's great!
