How the professionals get streak free glass.

34
 Any mum of toddlers or any dog owner would probably tell you that streak free glass is the bane of their lives . As both a mother of little kids and a professional cleaner I'm here to tell you it is mine too! 
If you don't do it right then it's a lot of graft for a very dissapointing result , so you do it over again only to find the same thing happens again !  Well ,  I am going to tell you how to go from streaks to sparkling in a flash! 
There's no great trick to this I'm afraid as it's all down to the tools you use ! But the good news is that there's not much elbow grease  or cost involved ! 

Firstly let's have a chat about cloths ... this is the important bit in your quest for a streak free finish . You need to invest in a "glass cloth" now when I say invest I don't mean break the bank , they are available from certain U.K. Bargain shops for a mere 39p (leave me a comment if you need to know where!) and go up to £3 each from a leading houseware shop (again leave a comment for info !) . The difference is literally in the thickness which has no affect on the overall outcome! These glass cloths can be used with just water but I do prefer to use a glass cleaner I do have a specific brand I have always used and won't use anything else , it's 99p so won't break the bank ! ( leave me a comment for details !) 
 

Please note that these are not the same as the average microfibre cloths and are not sold in most shops , you have to know what you're looking for ! These have a shiny finish/ feel to them . 
So in short these are the only two products you need .
 I use them to clean 
When used wet you may need to dry the area being cleaned with another dry glass cloth but when used dry with the spray it will sparkle with no buffing . 

Final thoughts.

I have tried everything from vinegar, newspaper, shammy, ammonia , squeegees, those nifty little squeegee machines you can buy at great cost , and the only effective way I've found to be streak free is by using the simple little glass cloth . 
If you try it let me know or if you have any tips of your own We'd love to hear them drop us a line in the comments box !

How the professionals get streak free glass.

 Any mum of toddlers or any dog owner would probably tell you that streak free glass is the bane of their lives . As both a mother of little kids and a professional cleaner I'm here to tell you it is mine too! 
If you don't do it right then it's a lot of graft for a very dissapointing result , so you do it over again only to find the same thing happens again !  Well ,  I am going to tell you how to go from streaks to sparkling in a flash! 
There's no great trick to this I'm afraid as it's all down to the tools you use ! But the good news is that there's not much elbow grease  or cost involved ! 

Firstly let's have a chat about cloths ... this is the important bit in your quest for a streak free finish . You need to invest in a "glass cloth" now when I say invest I don't mean break the bank , they are available from certain U.K. Bargain shops for a mere 39p (leave me a comment if you need to know where!) and go up to £3 each from a leading houseware shop (again leave a comment for info !) . The difference is literally in the thickness which has no affect on the overall outcome! These glass cloths can be used with just water but I do prefer to use a glass cleaner I do have a specific brand I have always used and won't use anything else , it's 99p so won't break the bank ! ( leave me a comment for details !) 
 

Please note that these are not the same as the average microfibre cloths and are not sold in most shops , you have to know what you're looking for ! These have a shiny finish/ feel to them . 
So in short these are the only two products you need .
 I use them to clean 
  • Windows
  • Glass
  • Stainless steel 
  • Televisions 
  • Mirrors 
  • Car windows
  • Oven door exteriors 
  • Gloss tiles
  • Gloss kitchen cupboard doors
  • Gloss wardrobe doors .
  • Taps & porcelain (after sanitising)
  • Shower doors .
When used wet you may need to dry the area being cleaned with another dry glass cloth but when used dry with the spray it will sparkle with no buffing . 

Final thoughts.

I have tried everything from vinegar, newspaper, shammy, ammonia , squeegees, those nifty little squeegee machines you can buy at great cost , and the only effective way I've found to be streak free is by using the simple little glass cloth .
