Easy way to clean mirrors/windows?

8 replies

I've taken to using disposable anti-bacterial wipes for as many of my cleaning needs as possible (mainly the bathroom and kitchen). What I need now is something equally idiot-proof, quick and easy for getting toddler fingerprints/mouth marks [bleurgh] off mirrors and glass doors. Does a ready-treated disposable cloth exist for this? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a cloth/spray combo that can just wipe on and off without much effort?

Many thanks!

Fill a plant sprayer with 2 heaped spoonfuls of cornflour and top up with vinegar.
Spray on, leave for a minute then wipe off with an e cloth or any cloth.

Microfibre cloth, slightly damp - that's all you need (prob best if it's intended for glass/mirrors, but other sorts will work too). Dead easy and quick.

GentleOtter - Why the Cornflour? Never heard that suggested before - we just use diluted vinegar which works very well.

Wet the glass with plain water then dry with newspaper: does the job brilliantly and costs nowt.

plain water. e-cloth, and then scuff with newspaper.

Newspaper and normal window cleaner or diluted vinegar.

Newspaper? I'd never have guessed that!

I'll have a go with newspaper and water and if that doesn't work I'll get on to the vinegar (which I actually have for descaling the washing machine/kettle - maybe I am better at this than I thought!).

Thanks all.

Microfibre cloth. Slightly damp. Flylady one especially brilliant as so big, which makes it easier to get a decent handful to hold. Hope that helps.
