Cleaning influencer reveals 'secret' to smear-free, sparkling glass—here's how!

Sometimes, seeing smears and fingerprints on our glass surfaces can feel like an unavoidable annoyance. But fear not smear-haters, for we have found a cleaning expert who claims to have cracked the code to a smear and fingerprint-free shining glass!

Cleaning influencer Danielle Mason, who has made quite the name for herself by sharing practical and effective cleaning advice on her social media account @daniellemasonuk, has shown her followers that the secret to spotless glass doesn't actually involve using specialised cleaning sprays.



In a recent video that garnered an impressive 105,000 views, Danielle demonstrated her glass cleaning expertise using just three common household items: Fairy Liquid (or any dishwashing liquid you have), a damp cloth, and a dry cloth.

The clip's caption highlighted the simplicity of her method: 'How you should really clean your glass for smear-free results.'



Danielle, a mum-of-two, explained her personal glass-cleaning technique in the video, saying, 'How I like to clean my tables is Fairy liquid, a wet and a dry microfibre cloth. And I'm going to froth up the Fairy Liquid over the table and give it a good rub down, getting all the finger marks off and all those sticky icky bits.'

She continued, 'Keep going, make sure it's [the glass] nice and wet, then just going to do the top of the table, and it's that simple using Fairy liquid instead of trying to get all the stains off with glass cleaner. Now I am going to take my dry microfibre cloth, and I am going to dry the table off, just buffing it and getting rid of all the water marks.'

In her conclusion, Danielle proudly declared, 'This I find is 100 per cent the best way to keep your glass shiny and smear and fingerprint free!'



Many of her followers could not agree more, with several jumping to the comments section to share their own glass-cleaning experiences using dishwashing liquid.

One user said: 'Agree, this is so much better than glass cleaner.'

Another chimed in: 'This is how I've always done my glass table, even my windows I do it this way.'

A third enthusiastic commenter declared: 'I use Fairy on everything - quartz mirrors, windows, anything shiny, but in my opinion, the green one is best.'

Key Takeaways

  • A cleaning influencer revealed her method for getting glass tables smear and fingerprint-free, using Fairy Liquid, a damp cloth, and a dry cloth.
  • Many users commented on the video, agreeing that using Fairy Liquid is more effective than glass cleaner for cleaning glass surfaces.
  • Some users also shared that they use Fairy Liquid for cleaning windows, mirrors, and other shiny surfaces, with some suggesting the green version works best.



Just like any other cleaning task, the key to effectively maintaining glass surfaces, be it windows, mirrors, or coffee tables, lies in the choice of tools rather than sheer effort. By using the right materials, you can achieve streak-free, crystal-clear glass in no time.

If you prefer a more natural cleaning solution, vinegar is your ideal choice. Vinegar is an incredibly versatile ingredient that is essential in most kitchens. It works wonders not only in recipes but also on mirrors, and the best part is that it is extremely affordable!

Moreover, vinegar is completely natural, making it highly appealing to those who prioritise environmentally friendly cleaning methods.

When it comes to cleaning purposes, distilled white vinegar is the best type to use. It is non-toxic, antibacterial, and its acidic properties pose no harm to the skin, pets, children, or the environment in general.

So, whether you have run out of your usual glass cleaner or you are simply seeking a more economical option, white vinegar can work wonders on your windows and mirrors.

To use it effectively, mix it with warm water, preferably soft or distilled water, in a 50/50 ratio. Transfer the mixture into a reusable spray bottle, and then proceed to spray and wipe the glass surfaces as you would with any other cleaner.



And there you have it, members! Why not give these simple and effective tips a try for yourself? Not only are spotless glass surfaces visually appealing, but they also enhance the overall tidiness and comfort of our homes.

Also, you may already have all the necessary supplies readily available. So go ahead and embark on a happy cleaning journey – let's keep our glass shining and our spirits high!

Also, members, if you're aware of any other cleaning tips and tricks for commonly dirty surfaces at home, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to share your insights in the comments section below.

a good add for fairy. i think this one is in the bottom of my garden.
 
I've never tried dishwashing liquid on glass. I use dishwashing liquid for all other cleaning jobs though.
For an all purpose cleaner I refill a spray bottle 1:10 ie. 50ml dishwashing liquid with 450ml water if I use a 500ml spray bottle.
For the laundry, most stains on clothes get clean with 1:5

I don't think it necessarily has to be Fairy. I use whatever dishwashing liquid I have for the same results.
Also same method works wonders on my black lacquer buffet and dining table.
 
My cleaner swore by BAM spray it on and leave it, come back and wipe it off, no problem. Even the new girls are using it.
 
Does dishwashing liquid work well on shower screens? What’s the best thing for shower screens? I also have some rust in the corner, I’ve tried LSR andPink Stuff, still there.

Nothing works Ithink. Thank god I have moved and havent got a shower screen anymore. I could not get the scum on my other rental off. Tried every damn tick, even bought Simple Green shower cleaner from Bunnings for around $20 which another influencer said would do the trick. No trick here !!!!!!!

Might work for you but not for me. I have tried lots of different things. Nothing short of getting the glass replaced.
I think that the comment in the story regarding the Equipment that you use is the real key, I have a couple of large mirrors in the Lounge/family area and in a certain light and position it was easy to see cloudy areas and smears, it drove me crazy, I could never seem to get rid of them no matter how often they were cleaned. Tried the dish cleaner and damp cloth then drying and polishing with a soft dry micro fibre cloth, Hey it worked, clear and sparkling now, thanks SDC for the story and hints.

To boost your cleaning even further, try adding vinegar to water and a squirt of dishwashing liquid. Use this in a spray bottle. The dishwashing liquid helps to deal with any grease on the glass.
For the lady who cannot clean her shower screen, have you tried thoroughly wetting the glass in same areas and using a scraper with a very fine blade? This is how we used to clean shower screens in new houses during Builders Cleans. Just make sure to keep the glass wet so that it doesn't scratch.
 
A denture cleaning tablet will clean toilet bowls, sediment in base of bottles and jars and tea/coffee stains from cups

Try Bunnings LSR range as I think I saw a LSR one especially for just rust stains. Best really soak overnight, scrub in morning Baking soda paste, leave overnight too , might take a feww goes to get it working, but I dont thjink you can completely make it rust free.
