Have you ever wondered why your mirror looks like a CSI scene five minutes after you wipe it? You brush your teeth in a hurry in the morning, look at your face with a slight "not quite awake" expression, and then you notice... that pesky fingerprint again, lingering there as a reminder of your failed cleaning mission. And what's worse - for every stain, there's a new reason to wipe it. Again. And again. It's time for homemade glass cleaner!
The good news? With this homemade glass cleaner that's so simple you'll think it's a TikTok scam, you can wave goodbye to fingerprints on glass. No chemicals, no expensive tools, and no frustration. Just a few things from your kitchen and your home will shine like it's in the commercial. Bonus? Even your neighbor who likes to "just drop by" will finally stop commenting on your bathroom.
This homemade trick removes fingerprints like a miracle!
Let's first dispel a myth: you don't have to spend half your salary and half your Saturday afternoon on shiny mirrors. Instead, you can make a mixture at home in a few minutes that will literally repel fingerprints.
What do you need for glass cleaner sauces?
- 1 part liquid polish (the one you usually use in the dishwasher – it creates a protective layer that repels stains),
- 1 part alcohol vinegar (a powerful degreaser and natural antibacterial agent),
- 1 drop of dish detergent (to break down grease and dirt),
- 2 to 3 parts water (for dilution and easier application).
Mix everything together in an empty spray bottle and shake well. Then apply to the glass surface – be it a mirror, glass shower, glass door or table – and wipe with a clean, soft microfiber cloth.
Why does this trick work?
- Liquid gloss creates a protective film that reduces the adhesion of fingerprints and dust.
- Vinegar dissolves existing dirt and ensures a flawless shine.
- Detergent helps remove grease, which is often the main culprit for "ghosts" on glass.
The result? Not just a clean surface, but also long-lasting protection. The next time children's hands or curious fingers get in the wrong place – you'll notice that there's no more sticky residue. And all without the need for intense rubbing!
Advice for regular use of glass cleaner
Use this trick once a week and incorporate it into your quick cleaning routine. For best results, make sure the cloth is not soaked in water, as this can dilute the protective layer.
And if you’re feeling particularly creative – a drop of essential oil (like lemon or eucalyptus) will add a gentle, fresh scent to your cleaning potion. No more nervous breakdowns every time you notice a smudge on your mirror. With some kitchen chemicals, a touch of ingenuity and our life hack, your home will be as shiny as a freshly baked cake. And the next time you stand in front of the mirror, you’ll only see one thing: your reflection. No smudges, no smudges – just you and your glow.
