CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLOTH FOR CLEANING GLASS SURFACES
It can be frustrating when we use a streak-free glass cleaner, like BIG Pure Glass Cleaner, but our glasses still end up with streaks. The most common cause of this is using the wrong kind of cleaning cloth.
To avoid streaks and lint, look for an absorbent cloth when selecting one to clean glass. Some possible choices are these:
- Microfiber Cloth: This is a common option for cleaning glass. Microfiber is highly absorbent and good at holding dirt and dust particles. It also removes lint from surfaces and leaving them streak-free.
- Lint-Free Cotton Cloth: For glass cleaning, a soft, lint-free cotton cloth—like a flour sack towel or a cotton diaper—can be quite useful. Ensure there is no fabric softener leftover on it and that it is clean.
- Chamois Cloth: Streak-free cleaning of glass surfaces can also be done with a natural or synthetic chamois cloth, which is a good absorbent. Although chamois is famous for its window-cleaning power, it is not restricted to glass exclusively. Other surfaces, including mirrors, car windows, and even polished furniture, can also be cleaned using it.
- Coffee Filters: Cleaning glass mirrors and glass shower doors with coffee filters is just like cleaning glass surfaces with newspapers; Also, because they are meant to get wet, they hold up a lot better during a cleaning session.
- Newspaper: While less common nowadays, some people still swear by using newspaper for cleaning glass. It can be effective and doesn’t leave lint, but the ink can be messy.
