There’s nothing more satisfying than a streak-free mirror. Attaining perfection can be a challenge, especially if you’re not using the right methods or cleaning products. The following tips will help you get that streak-free shine you crave.

3 Mirror-Cleaning Tips for a Flawless Shine

1. Pay Attention to Spots

When wiped, spots turn into streaks. To remove these stubborn spots, take a bit of rubbing alcohol and dab it on the glass. Once they’re removed, you can wipe down the rest of the mirror without worrying about spreading dirt around. Check your mirror daily for spots, which often appear while you’re brushing your teeth. Dab away imperfections daily to keep your mirror clean.

2. Choose Cleaning Solutions Wisely

While many glass cleaners boast a streak-free shine, those containing soap can exacerbate the issue by leaving behind residue from the suds. To avoid using these chemicals, create a solution of vinegar and water. The best mix is one cup of vinegar to every cup of water. Not only does this effectively clean glass, but it will also save money on cleaning products.

3. Look for Microfiber Cloth

If you commonly use paper towels when cleaning mirrors, you could end up with scratches. Microfiber cloths are made from soft, synthetic fibers, and the individual strands are incredibly thin. This construction is great for mirrors because it won’t cause scratches. It will also prevent lint from being left behind on the glass, which can double your cleaning time.
