    For the mirror, if you use newspaper instead of a cloth to wipe the windex off, it won't leave streaks. Just remember to change the newspaper once it gets a bit soggy or else it will leave particles behind. My mom taught me this trick and it works really well 😊

      This is a good tip. Many name-brand paper towels have softener that make streaks on your mirror. Cheap paper towels also work.

  • @gaarachan109
    @gaarachan109 Год назад +7

    the trick to not getting streaks on your mirror/glass windows is using NEWSPAPER instead of paper towels!! I learned this trick from a restaurant I used to work at and it's never failed me

    One organization tip I can recommend for tall cabinets is shelf stackers. I picked up a few so I could separate large and small plates but still use all the vertical space offered. It’s great in a pantry too! Enjoy the new place!

    My husband is a window washer! To avoid streaks: after cleaning the mirror/window, use a dry towel to buff it dry. Work the dry towel in circles until all the moisture is gone, and voila! No streaks! ✨

    Newspaper will give you a streak free clean on the mirror. Also, as a renter who has moved 4 times in the last 2 years, I am super envious of how easy you made this look😅but super happy for you and can't wait to see how you make the place your own. And how good is moving-in floor pizza!

    For the mirror, stop using mirror or glass cleaner and just use dishwashing soap in a low concentration. Also don't use paper towels but two micro fibre cloths, one for cleaning and one for drying :)

  • @Bristolbelle59

  • @penelopewilcock3847
    @penelopewilcock3847 Год назад

    What the others said about cleaning the mirror - use paper. If you don't have a newspaper, kitchen roll (paper towel) will do, or even toilet paper. Also, if you put vinegar in the washing water, and just the tiniest amount of washing up liquid (dish soap).

  • @louisetilbury3443
    @louisetilbury3443 Год назад

    Yay🎉 finally in. Enjoy your new home.
    Tip for windows/mirrors : wet fingers with cold water and flick at mirror, then wipe with a kitchen roll. The more chemicals you put on the harder it is to get a smear free mirror. You can get special window cloth sets - 1 is a white waffle cloth that you wet, 2 is a silky cloth that buffs the surface to leave streak free with no chemicals.

    For cleaning mirrors and windows without streaks, use a spray bottle with a water vinegar mixture, and newspaper. Not kidding, the vinegar takes care of the streaks and newsprint doesn’t mean Lint. For a more expensive than less sustainable solution, get a high alcohol windshield spray from an auto store, for detailing, and a microfiber cloth.

I had a big floor mirror that I could never get done without streaking. He showed me this and I threw out all the dumb window “cleaners”.. a joke and waste of time.

    Streams on the mirror after cleaning are often caused by having used too much products on the mirror for a long time. In this case one should clean it only with water (maybe with a little alcohol added) and dry it with a clean towel afterwards. I stopped buying special cleaning products for mirrors as they often do more harm than good😅
