There’s nothing more frustrating than spending time cleaning only to step back and see streaks all over your glass doors or bathroom mirror. Luckily, with the right method (and a couple of Aussie-friendly tricks), you can enjoy crystal-clear results every time.

Most streaks appear because of too much product or using the wrong cloth. Paper towels and old rags often leave lint behind, and spraying cleaner directly onto glass can create drips that dry unevenly.
Follow these simple steps to get spotless glass and mirrors:
Use a Microfibre Cloth – Forget paper towels. A good-quality microfibre cloth absorbs dirt and moisture without leaving lint behind.
Spray the Cleaner on the Cloth, Not the Glass – This prevents drips and keeps the product evenly distributed.
Go in Two Directions – Wipe in a horizontal motion first, then switch to vertical. This makes it easy to spot any areas you’ve missed.
Keep It Simple – A DIY mix of equal parts vinegar and water works just as well as commercial sprays and is eco-friendly too.
Extra Tips for Aussies
Avoid direct sunlight – Cleaning windows while the sun is blasting on them can make the solution dry too quickly, causing streaks.
Use newspaper as a backup – Old-school but effective; scrunched newspaper can leave a polished finish on glass.
Don’t forget the edges – Dust and grime love to settle in corners and frames, so give them a quick wipe too.
Crystal-clear glass and streak-free mirrors instantly make your home feel fresher, brighter, and more polished. Plus, keeping them clean regularly means less elbow grease when it’s time for a big deep clean.
