The Best Glass & Mirror Cleaners for a Streak-Free Finish
Before achieving a streak-free finish for your mirrors, it's crucial to have the right cleaning supplies on hand. Whether you're sprucing up your bathroom mirror or giving your windows a shine, you need top-notch products to get the job done right. One of the best cleaners to clean your glass and windows without streaks is the Astonish Window & Glass Cleaner, which boasts a refreshing eucalyptus and lemon scent.
The Elbow Grease Glass Cleaner with Vinegar is another fantastic option, known for its powerful vinegar-based formula. Or, if you prefer a natural cleaner, mix vinegar and water in a Pepco Spray Bottle for an eco-friendly alternative. But remember, the key to a streak-free shine lies in using a microfiber or lint-free cloth, as they are specifically designed to trap dust and dirt without leaving behind fibres or smudges, ensuring your mirrors and glass surfaces are left perfectly clear.
So, how do you clean a mirror without leaving streaks? By combining the right cleaner with a quality cloth, you’ll achieve that flawless, gleaming finish in no time.

Step 1) Spot Clean Large Areas of Dirt or Grime
Picture this: your bathroom mirror, covered in toothpaste splatters and hairspray residue – not a pretty sight, right? Well, fear not! To ensure a flawless finish, it's crucial to tackle those grime hotspots head-on. That's where spot cleaning comes into play! By targeting those pesky patches of dirt or grime, especially those stubborn hairspray spots, you'll lay the groundwork for a spotless mirror. And here's the kicker – spot cleaning prevents the spread of dirt when you wipe down the entire surface, ensuring a streak-free result every time.
Pro tip: Use cotton pads to supercharge your spot-cleaning game! With one of our recommended glass and mirror cleaners, simply spray and wipe away small spots of grime with a cotton pad to have those mirrors sparkling in no time!
Step 2) Spray the Mirror with Your Chosen Mirror Cleaner
After tackling those stubborn spots, it's time to ramp up the shine of the mirror overall. Whether you're rocking a DIY vinegar and water concoction in one of our spray bottles, or you’ve opted for one of Poundland's finest glass and mirror cleaners like the Astonish Window & Glass Cleaner or the Elbow Grease Glass Cleaner with Vinegar, this step is a total game-changer. Simply give that trusty spray bottle a gentle squeeze and mist your mirror with a light coat of cleaner. And here's the kicker – this same technique works wonders for cleaning windows, too! So, grab your mirror cleaner, give it a spritz, and let the cleaning commence! There’s no more wondering what to clean a mirror with – because Poundland has got you covered!
Step 3) It’s Time to Start Scrubbing
Step 3 is where the magic happens, so grab your trusty microfiber cloth and let's dive in. But first, a pro tip: fold that cloth into halves or even quarters to maximise its surface area – the more cleaning power, the less hassle! Now, onto the nitty-gritty – the cleaning motions. Channel your inner cleaning ninja with the zig-zag motion or the classic S-pattern. These tried-and-true techniques ensure every corner of your mirror gets the attention it deserves. And here's the real kicker – don't dilly-dally after spraying your mirror with cleaning solution! Wipe down that mirror pronto to stop dripping and prevent streaks from sneaking in. Oh, and speaking of the best cloth for cleaning glass and mirrors – you guessed it, microfiber reigns supreme every time! So, grab your cloth and get ready to scrub your way to spotless perfection!
If you're not vibing with the microfibre cloth and fancy something a bit sturdier to tackle those smudges, why not give a microfiber pad a try? Poundland's got you covered with options like the Pepco Scrub Bud Double-Sided Microfibre Pad and the Minky M-Cloth Anti-Bacterial Cleaning Pad. These handy options offer sturdier support while still delivering that streak-free shine. So, if you're on the hunt for the best way to clean mirrors without streaks, look no further than these trusty pads!
Step 4) Check for Remaining Marks
After giving your mirror or glass a once-over, it's crucial to inspect for any stubborn marks that may have slipped through the cracks. If you spot any stragglers, fear not! Simply grab your trusty microfiber cloth or pad and give those marks in a circular motion treatment. And here's a top tip – to ensure a streak-free shine, make sure your mirror or window is bone dry post-cleaning. That's right, the secret to a spotless reflection lies in thorough drying. So, wave goodbye to streaks and hello to crystal-clear perfection with Poundland's foolproof guide on how to get a streak-free mirror!
