Usage:
Spray the prepared cleaner directly onto the glass surface and wipe it with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. The vinegar will remove dirt and grease, the soap will add extra cleaning power, and the essential oil will leave a pleasant scent. If you don't have essential oils, feel free to leave them out.
Advantages of homemade cleaner:
- Natural and chemical free: No need to worry about exposing yourself and your family to harsh chemicals.
- Efficiency: Vinegar is a natural degreaser that successfully removes grease and fingerprints from glass.
- Savings: The ingredients are cheap and accessible, and domestic production prevents the use of single-use plastic packaging.

When cleaning glass surfaces, mistakes often occur that prevent a perfect result. Here are some common mistakes to keep in mind:
- Using the wrong cloth: If you use rough cloths or paper towels, there may be lint marks or even scratches on the glass. The best choice is a microfiber cloth.
- Too much detergent: Over-application of the cleaner may cause the liquid to run and leave streaks. It is important to apply the cleaner in moderate quantities.
- Cleaning in direct sunlight: Cleansers evaporate quickly in the sun, leading to streaks and stains. Always clean in the shade or on cloudy days.
- Dirty cloth: If you use a dirty cloth to wipe, smudges or fingerprints may remain on the glass. Always use a clean, dry cloth.
- Using hard water: Tap water often contains minerals that can leave stains. Using distilled water will prevent the formation of water stains.
These mistakes are easy to fix, so pay attention to them to keep your glass surfaces impeccably clean.
