Glass & Shine Cheat Sheet

Pro Secrets for Streak-Free Mirrors & Windows

Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

  • Start with a clean microfiber cloth — never paper towels (they shed fibers).

  • If glass is extra dirty, rinse first with warm water to lift debris (prevents scratching).

Step 2: Choose the Right Solution

  • Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts distilled water + a drop of eco dish soap.

  • Or use an eco-friendly glass cleaner (look for ammonia-free to protect finishes).

Step 3: Technique is Everything

  • Spray lightly — less liquid = fewer streaks.

  • Use an S-pattern swipe with your cloth or squeegee (not circles).

  • Always finish in the same direction: vertical for windows, horizontal for mirrors.

Step 4: Mind the Light

  • Never clean glass in direct sunlight — solution dries too fast, leaving streaks.

  • Best time: early morning or evening when light is softer.

🖼 Step 5: Don’t Forget the Details

  • Wipe edges, corners, and frames (dust hides here).

  • Buff with a dry microfiber at the end for that “hotel gloss” finish.
