Glass shows every mark, from fingerprints on splashbacks to smudges on mirrors and windows, so it needs a different approach to everyday wiping. The right tools cut through grease and grime without leaving lint or streaks behind.
Look for glass cleaning sprays, squeegees and microfibre glass cloths designed specifically for a clear, streak free finish on windows, mirrors, shower screens and glass splashbacks around the home.
A quick wipe with a dedicated glass cleaner and microfibre cloth keeps mirrors and glass doors looking their best between deeper cleans. Working in a consistent direction, top to bottom, helps avoid streaks forming as the surface dries.
For general dusting and wiping around glass fittings, a stack of cloths on hand makes it easy to catch marks as soon as you notice them.
Dried on paint splatter, sticker residue or hard water marks need more than a spray and wipe. For these tougher jobs, surface scrapers safely lift stuck on residue from glass without scratching the surface.
If you are cleaning other finishes around the same area, such as timber frames or benchtops, a specialty polish or surface cleaner protects the material while lifting everyday marks.
Use a proper glass cleaner with a microfibre cloth or squeegee, and wipe in one consistent direction. Avoid cleaning glass in direct sunlight, as the spray can dry too fast and leave streaks.
A dedicated glass cleaner paired with a gentle scrubbing brush usually lifts light limescale, while heavier build up may need a surface scraper to remove without scratching.
It is best to keep a cloth just for glass, as lint or residue from other cleaning tasks can transfer onto the glass and cause streaking.
