Cleaning glass can be difficult since it loves to flaunt streaks, smudges, and dust. Here are our top tips to guarantee a streak-free, gleaming finish:
Choose the Right Cleaner
- Glass Magic Spray Cleaner: Use our Glass Magic for all glass surfaces, especially Windows, Mirrors and Glass tables for a an invisible finish.
- Avoid Ammonia-based Cleaners: These can leave streaks and damage the glass over time.
- Avoid General Multi Surface Cleaners: These can leave streaks and smears which look awful and attract even more dirt.
Use the Right Tools
- Microfiber Cloth: Perfect for spotless cleaning as it catches and lifts dirt, grime, and dust and dries without any pesky lint.
- Squeegee: Great for large windows and mirrors. It helps remove excess cleaner and water, leaving a streak-free surface.
- Newspaper: A classic yet quirky gem for shining up glass. Just make sure you grab a newspaper that's black-and-white printed (no glossy stuff here)!.
3. Cleaning Technique
- Wipe in Circular Motions: Begin by wiping in circular motions to remove spots, then switch to vertical and horizontal strokes to finish.
- Start from the Top: Always clean from top to bottom to avoid dripping and running onto areas you’ve already cleaned.
- Don't Over-Spray: Too much cleaner can make cleaning difficult. A light mist is all you need.
- Buff Dry: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth or newspaper to buff the glass after cleaning for extra shine.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
- Clean in the Shade: Sunlight can cause the cleaner to dry too quickly. It’s best to clean glass in the shade or on a cloudy day.
Don’t Forget the Corners
- Grab a Toothbrush: Use the bruh to reach into corners or edges where dust and grime tend to accumulate and are difficult to reach with a cloth. Spray Glass Magic in to the corner work with the tooth brush then wipe away.
For Windows
- Outside and Inside: Clean both sides of the window. Often, streaks or smudges can be on the opposite side.
- Use Different Strokes: Clean the outside of the window using vertical strokes and the inside with horizontal strokes. This helps identify which side you may have missed areas on.
By following these tips, you can achieve a sparkling, streak-free finish on any glass surface.
