How to clean a mirror without streaking
Cleaning a mirror seems like an easy task, but getting it streak-free can be quite challenging. Here are some tips to help you clean your mirrors without leaving any streaks.
Use the right cleaning products
When it comes to cleaning mirrors, it is important to use the right products. Avoid using products that leave residue or contain ammonia, as they can leave streaks. Instead, use a microfiber cloth with warm water or a mixture of water and vinegar to clean the mirror. Spray the solution on the mirror and wipe it down with the cloth in a circular motion.
Buff with a dry cloth
After cleaning the mirror, you can buff it with a dry cloth to remove any remaining streaks. Use a clean microfiber or lint-free cloth and wipe the surface of the mirror in a circular motion until it is completely dry and shiny.
Avoid using paper towels or newspaper
While paper towels or newspaper may seem like an easy solution, they can actually contribute to streaking. They can leave behind fibers or residue, which can show up as streaks on the mirror. Stick to using a microfiber cloth or a squeegee instead.
Try using steam
If you are still having trouble getting your mirrors to streak-free, try using steam. Run a hot shower, and let the steam build up in the bathroom. Then, use a microfiber cloth to wipe the surface of the mirror while it is still hot and steamy. The steam helps to loosen any dirt or grime while the cloth removes it, leaving a streak-free finish.
