Cleaning Glass Without Streaks or Lint

Cleaning drinking glass without leaving backside streaks, a cloudy moving-picture show, or lint comes downwards to 2 things: the right glass cleaner, and the right cleaning cloth.

Best Glass Cleaners

The best solutions for cleaning glass are ammonia-based glass cleaners like Windex, or a 50/l solution of vinegar and water. Unlike bleach or soap, ammonia and vinegar won't leave behind streak and film causing residue.

Best Glass Cleaning Cloths

Frankly, the best cleaning solutions for drinking glass are pretty well understood. It'due south the paper towels most of us use to wipe up glass cleaner that are the real culprit behind streaky, cloudy glass. Most paper towels are treated for absorbency. That makes them nifty for wiping up spills, merely terrible for cleaning glass. The absorbency handling is why your glass tables, mirrors and windows finish upwardly covered in lint and dry with a film.

If yous must use paper towels, go with untreated towels such as SCOTT Glass Towels. Skip annihilation touting its absorbency. In fact, I recommend skipping paper towels birthday if you tin can. Who wants to waste time scrutinizing  paper towel packaging, or keep a special glass cleaning roll on hand?

Instead, get with lint-free cotton clothes such as KIMBERLY-CLARK WYPALL Microfiber Cloths or Purse-A-Rags Reusable Wiping Cloths. They are super cheap, reusable and versatile.  Cotton wool cloths are gentle and durable enough to clean practically anything. Simply don't use fabric softener when y'all wash your rags. Information technology'll leave behind a picture when you clean your glass.

Lots of people swear by using newspaper to make clean glass, just I disagree. In my experience, newspaper practically disintegrates the moment it hits wet glass. Plus, the ink gets all over your hands if you aren't wearing gloves.
