Glass Cleaning 101: 6 Tips and Tricks for Crystal-Clear Results

Glass Cleaning 101: 6 Tips and Tricks for Crystal-Clear Results

Keeping your glass surfaces dazzlingly clean can be a breeze with the right tricks up your sleeve. Here are 6 of our best cleaning tips to ensure your glass shines brilliantly for longer.

1. Tap into the magic of microfibre

Invest in a high-quality microfibre cloth for glass cleaning efforts. These soft, lint-free wonders work like a charm, trapping dirt and grime without leaving streaks. Pair it with a gentle, specialised glass cleaner for optimal results.

2. Avoid cleaning glass in direct sunlight

The heat can cause your cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leading to streaks and a subpar clean. Choose a shady time of day or opt for cooler, overcast weather to achieve that streak-free shine.

3. Arm yourself with quality cleaning tools

Upgrade your glass cleaning game with professional-grade cleaning tools. As an example, a quality squeegee can be an absolute game-changer for large glass surfaces like windows or shower doors. Glide the squeegee in an overlapping pattern for a spotless finish.

4. Banish buildup with nanocoat protection

Consider using a glass nanocoat cleaning and protection kit, like our Glass Nanocoat DIY Kit. This innovative solution not only cleans but also protects glass surfaces from future dirt and stains. Apply the nanocoating (after a thorough clean with a shower glass cleaner, of course) to create a shield that repels dirt, making  cleaning a breeze.

5. Use a gentle and consistent cleaning motion

Start from the top and work your way down, whether you're using a squeegee or a cloth. Circular motions can lead to streaks on glass surfaces, so try to avoid them and use an up-and-down or left-to-right motion instead.

6. Don’t rush the process

Let the cleaning solution do its work by allowing it to sit for a moment before wiping or squeegeeing. Patience ensures a thorough clean and minimises the chance of streaks or residue. This could also be a perfect time to practice mindfulness and clean with purpose to help nourish your mental health.

By implementing these tips into your routine, you will be well on your way to achieving stunningly clear and gleaming glass surfaces. Happy cleaning!
