Streak-free glass is not impossible to obtain, but it takes more than store-bought cleaner and 30 seconds of your time. To make the windows, mirrors, and glass tables in your home shimmer in the sunlight, use the following tips:
Clean your windows on a
cloudy day.
If you
are cleaning your home's windows on a bright summer day, the direct
rays of the sun will cause the cleaning solution to dry prematurely
and leave behind streaks. To prevent this from happening to you,
clean on a cloudy day or wash the windows on different sides of your
house at different times when the sun is not shining directly on
them.
Forget the paper towels.
As
mentioned in one of our previous blog articles, paper towels should
not be included in your glass-cleaning toolbelt. Wiping glass with a
paper towel will leave behind more than just streaks – you'll be
looking at a mirror full of lint. Stick to using paper towels to dry
your hands; when cleaning glass, you should instead opt for a
squeegee or microfiber cloth.
Easily spot streaks.
If you
are cleaning a two-sided glass surface, such as a table or window,
wipe one side with horizontal strokes and one side with vertical
strokes. That way, if you can't seem to get it completely
streak-free, you will at least be able to tell which side is dirty to
avoid unnecessarily cleaning both sides again.
Make your glass shine.
Streak-free
glass is wonderful, but if you want to go the extra mile you can make
it sparkle with an extra thirty seconds of work. After wiping the
glass surface dry with a microfiber cloth or squeegee, polish it off
with a clean chalkboard eraser or piece of newspaper to make it
gleam.
