How to clean Windows, Glass & Mirrors

Dirt forms a coating on glass windows and mirrors easily, even if you clean them too often. Moreover, in spite of all the meticulous cleaning, the glass does not seem sparkling clean because of the fabric streaks and lint.
Cleaning windows seems like a pretty straightforward job. Let’s figure out how to use the strength of a glass cleaner and a lot of intelligence to get bright, sparkling clean windows with less effort.
Begin by wiping the area of any loose debris like lint or dust. Use only a lint-free microfiber cloth or crumpled up newspaper (only sections in black and white) for a sparkling and streak free finish. When combined with Ultrashine, the oils from newspaper can leave your windows and mirrors with a brilliant shine.
Glass Cleaning
Clean the windows inside out for best results. Start by horizontal strokes on the interior and vertical ones on the exterior, that way it is easy to spot any smearing on the glass and touch ups can be done, making your job easier.Mirrors in bathrooms especially, tend to accumulate an unsightly layer of toothpaste, hairspray, or other bathroom products and even water marks. This can be even worse if you have hard water that causes calcium or lime to build up.

Pre-treating Stains and cleaning mirrors

  • Assess the condition of your mirror
  • Gather your mirror cleaning materials - a mug, cotton / lint free microfiber cleaning rag, water, Ultrashine
  • Dilute your mirror cleaner and dip the half cloth into the solution
  • Wipe the mirror first with the wet part of the cloth followed by dry part
  • Pre-treat thick build up and trouble spots using vinegar (found in your kitchen)
  • Wipe clean over tough stains using the dry part once again
  • Change your viewing angle to verify cleanliness

Different Stains on mirrors and ways to get rid of it:

Water Stains

Usually, on bathroom mirrors, you are only dealing with built-up water stains, which are mineral deposits left behind after water splash. To break down those minerals, just use diluted Ultrashine for a sparkling clean, streak free finish. Use it with a microfiber cloth to get rid of streaks left.

Dirt

On exterior windows or sliding doors, you’re dealing with a bit of dirt and dust (or tiny greasy hand prints). Use diluted Ultrashine in a spray bottle for everyday cleaning.

Dried food / curry stains

Pre-treat the stain by spraying undiluted Ultrashine and leave it for some time. Use a lint free cloth to scrub the pre-treated surface with the diluted Ultrashine liquid. Wipe clean the surface once again with a dried microfiber cloth for a sparkling clean finish.
