Cleaning your windows and mirrors streak free is key to a healthy lifestyle. Cleaning streaks on your windows and mirrors can be a little tricky. It's not an easy process, but it can be done with a few tips and tricks. People learn the best ways to clean glass, but sometimes with the wrong materials or methods that can damage your window in the future. You just try our simple method to make windows and mirrors streak-free which will help you achieve a streak-free finish in time.
You'll need a few things before you start a window cleaning and your mirror. First, you'll need some window cleaner. Next, you'll need a microfiber cloth. Finally, you'll need a spray bottle with water.
Ammonia-based cleaner
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean off any smudges or fingerprints from the surface of the glass. If there are any grease marks on it, then you can use an ammonia-based cleaner such as Windex or 409 (which is made specifically for glass). Make sure that all of the dirt is removed from the surface area (like carpet cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, house washing, etc) before proceeding with this step.
Rubbing alcohol
Pour some rubbing alcohol over a cotton ball and wipe down each section of the glass one at a time until it is completely clean. This will remove any remaining dirt and debris from previous cleaning attempts so that your mirror stays streak-free for longer periods.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice is another natural ingredient that can be used to clean mirrors and windows streak free. You will need to mix equal parts water and lemon juice in a spray bottle filled with warm water. Spray this mixture onto your mirror or window until it is fully covered. Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes then wipe it off with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Vinegar
Vinegar works similarly to lemon juice in that it helps remove dirt from your glass without leaving streaks behind. For this recipe, you will need equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle filled with warm water. Spray this mixture onto your mirror or window until it is fully covered then let sit for about 15 minutes before wiping.
Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of the most versatile household cleaners out there, but it can also be used as a safe and effective window cleaner. Simply mix a little baking soda with water in a spray bottle, then spray onto the mirror or window and wipe clean with a rag or cloth. In addition to being great at removing stubborn dirt and grime, it will leave no residue behind when you’re done cleaning.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is another natural home remedy that can be used to strip away any grease or dirt left behind on windows, mirrors, and other hard surfaces. Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water in a clean spray bottle (we recommend making sure there are no traces of bacteria in the bottle). Spray onto the mirror or window, let sit for about 20 minutes and then wipe off with a rag or cloth (or just rinse with warm water first).
With a little hard work and discipline, keeping your windows streak free is not impossible. And if you follow the advice above, you'll make your next window cleaning substantially easier. You'll be amazed at how clean your windows and mirrors can look. Good luck and have fun!
