The Best Tips to Clean Windows and Mirrors Without Streaks

Windows and mirrors are among the first things people notice when they enter a home. Sparkling glass not only improves the look of your space but also makes it feel brighter and fresher. The challenge, however, is cleaning without leaving streaks or smudges.

Start by choosing the right time of day. Cleaning glass under direct sunlight can cause the cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leaving streaks behind. Early mornings or cloudy days are the best times to get the job done.

Use the right tools: a microfiber cloth or squeegee works much better than paper towels, which tend to leave lint. Spray a small amount of glass cleaner (or a natural mix of water and vinegar) directly onto the cloth rather than the surface. This prevents excess liquid from dripping and creating marks.

For mirrors, work from top to bottom in a zig-zag motion. On windows, don’t forget the corners and edges, where dirt usually collects. Finally, buff with a dry microfiber cloth for that flawless shine.
