How to Properly Use Homemade Glass Cleaner
For best results use a high quality spray bottle, one with a variable spray pattern works best. I usually buy cheap spray bottles at the dollar store. After you have mixed your cleaner you are ready to get started. Be sure to spray the surfaces thoroughly. The dirtier the glass the more cleaner you will need to use. I like to use the finest mist setting of the spray bottle to keep the cleaner from becoming too runny. After it has sat there for about 10 seconds, I use two separate clean towels, usually microfiber cloths. With one in each hand, I use one for washing and the other for the final drying. Rub in circles to help reduce streaks. Don't use paper towels as they can leave lint.
