5 ways to avoid having smudgy windows and mirrors
Introduction:
Microfibre cloths have become the most important tools when it comes to cleaning, they can shine any surface and will trap dust in a second.
Have you ever tried shining a surface or cleaning a mirorr and it would just not end up streak free after all the effort? It is most probably because you are washing the cloths wrong. I know, so how do you wash them then and why are they so high maintenance?
In this blog post, we'll delve into the proper care for microfibre cloths, and why should you NEVER use conditioners, and scent boosters if you want to get those streak-free results when cleaning.
You don't need your cleaning clothes to smell like a field of flowers 💐
Have you ever found yourself attempting to clean a mirror or window only to be left with a haze that seems impossible to banish? The culprit might be the lovely flowery scent of your cleaning cloths. Using scented washing liquids, fabric conditioners, or scent boosters may leave behind residue that becomes activated when sprayed with cleaning products, resulting in smudged glass surfaces. I know right, who would have thought?
Why does this happen? The aromatic molecules in these scented products tend to cling to the microfibres even after a thorough rinse cycle, and when exposed to cleaning solutions, they are then transferred onto the mirror or window leaving smudges that were not even there before.
The Solution ✅
To avoid the headache of smudged surfaces, opt for scentless washing alternatives when cleaning your microfibre cloths. Washing up liquid or soda crystals are excellent choices, as they effectively cleanse the cloths without leaving behind any fragrance residues. While your cloths may not carry the sweet scent of a field of flowers, the trade-off is worth it and the cleaning products will leave a lovely smell behind.
