If the effectiveness of commercial glass cleaners is undeniable, the mixture of lemon juice, vinegar and dishwashing detergent is a perfect substitute.  To polish opaque glass surfaces   , mix well 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, ½ cup of white vinegar and 2 teaspoons of dish soap in 1 liter of warm water. Spray this mixture on the glass or mirror and then rub gently with a clean cloth. To dry, iron another microfiber cloth over the affected area. The shine of your glass is guaranteed.

2. Newspaper and white vinegar

This classic method still enjoys the same recognition as we continue to use it despite the most unusual products. We also often resort to this trick to make our windows shine.

Since newspaper is enough to remove some stains, we recommend moistening it with a portion of white vinegar to permanently remove fingerprints. In addition to being environmentally friendly, white vinegar can    restore the shine to your mirrors and windows at a lower cost.

For an optimal effect that combines effectiveness and beautiful scents, you can    mix white vinegar and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.   Then put the two ingredients in a spray bottle, mix them together, and then spray the solution directly onto the glass or mirror you want to clean. Then dry with a microfiber cloth and then gently rub over the surface in circular motions. Also note that you can make your own multi-purpose cleaning spray to clean and scent glass surfaces and the rest of your home.
