Go Green with Easy Window Cleaning
A major challenge for everyone that has glass in their home, whether they rent or own the home, are those unsightly and often embarrassing smears and streaks on the windows and many other glass surfaces. Whether it’s the cat’s nose, the kid’s fingers, sneezing or rabid wombats, there never seems to be a shortage of streak inducing challenges around the home. Not a good thing when you are trying to keep your house clean.
There are plenty of products available that are advertised to help you clean mirrors and glass to get a streak-free shine. There are even eco-friendly folk that swear by green concoctions of vinegar and water or rubbing alcohol to save the environment while cleaning windows and glass. What works best?
Getting Mirrors Cleaned
If you haven’t ever had a mirror magically turn cloudy or somehow manage to streak right back up only moments after having wiped it down and thought yourself victorious then you just might be a vampire, given that they don’t use mirrors. This is a fairly frequent occurrence and frustrating is the least you can say about it. What to use?
Guard your forehead in case you habitually smack it – the answer to actually just plain water. Yes – water. That’s straight from the Glass Association of North America. It’s as simple as saturating a clean, lint-free cloth with warm tap water, wringing the cloth free of excess water, and wiping the mirror down. From there you simply dry and buff/polish the mirror with a second lint-free cloth.
It’s actually quite amazing how well plain old water works but the secret is the lint free cloth. A lint free cloth works much better than paper towel and cloth and water costs far less than expensive cleaners that are actually water based anyway.
Fiberglass Shower Doors
It’s unlikely you’ll find anyone that wakes up in the morning with a joyful burst of energy just roaring to get to clean the bathroom. It’s not exactly a favorite task by most accounts. It is however, a necessity. When you have glass or fiberglass doors you will be able to save yourself a lot of headache by just using a squeegee after you shower to take the water off the doors. This will reduce soap scum and hard water stains significantly.
You may be asking what if I already have dirty fiberglass doors. In that case try a gentle cleaner like Cerama-Bryte (used for smooth cook surfaces). Follow that up with a good rinse and a towel dry for the doors. You will also want to get a nice squeegee and a squeegee hook to keep them looking good.
It doesn’t take an arsenal of cleaning products to keep the glass clean around your home, whether you’re in need of window cleaning, mirror cleaning or shower cleaning. A little bit of your free time and you can keep your house looking shiny crystal clean.
