Product Information

Common types of active chemicals in glass cleaners include ammonia and alcohol, but you can also find chemical-free, all-natural glass cleaners. To ensure we were bringing you the very best glass cleaner recommendations, we scoured Mumsnet forums to see which products were highly-rated by families who have tried and tested them in their own homes. Looking at the ingredients is another way to choose the best glass cleaner for your surfaces. Some people prefer to use products with ammonia in it, such as Windex Original, as this helps to prevent streaks and makes glass shiny, but it can also smell strongly and irritate your skin and eyes. Butyl glycol, or ethylene glycol butyl ether/2-butoxyethanol, is the chemical found in Windex. It’s a very effective ingredient in glass cleaners, but too much exposure to it is not safe.

I just discovered a product called HG. Game-changer!” (Rated by Mumsnet user Notsurenow43) Our verdict Though it’s certainly possible to clean your windows with vinegar and water, if you’re after crystal clear glass, mirrors and windows with a minimum of wiping, polishing and faffing about, you’re better off using a specialist glass cleaner. You might also want to think about the scent before you choose the best glass cleaner. Natural ingredient glass cleaners often contain scents such as mint and eucalyptus, and you can also find ones that have added scents, such as Viakal Fresh. Most chemical-based glass cleaners are unscented, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have an aroma, which may smell strongly and require good ventilation. What is the best product to clean glass? Using a microfibre cloth, start scrubbing the cleaning solution into the glass. Work your way from one corner to the other and then move the cloth down and scrub from side to side again. Keep scrubbing from side to side and moving down the glass, until you’ve wiped all sections of it.If you don’t like using chemicals, an E-Cloth is a very effective alternative. Using masses of microfibres, it removes dirt and streaks from glass surfaces with only water. For tough stains, you can also use these E-Cloths with one of the above glass cleaners, simply spray the glass and wipe the residue away.

To finish, a professional window cleaner will always polish the glass. To do this, simply use a clean microfibre cloth to wipe the edges of the window and clean the glass of any smears. What is the best way to clean glass without streaks? While not specifically a glass cleaner, Viakal’s Limescale Remover Spray is very effective at getting rid of limescale and pesky watermarks on your shower screen. While we recognize that Koala Eco is slightly more expensive compared to other brands, we think the pleasant smell is definitely worth the cost. The invigorating scent alone makes you want to clean almost everything! Plus, we can't deny we also love that the product comes from a family-run business. Use a spray bottle and lightly cover the glass with your cleaning solution. Start at the top of the glass and work your way down, ensuring all of the glass is covered in the cleaner.

The cloth absorbs moisture and over 99% of bacteria to leave your mirrors, windows, chrome and other surfaces looking clean and smudge-free. Afterwards, you simply throw it in the washing machine and reuse once dry.

The first thing to consider when choosing the best glass cleaner is what you need it for. Do you want a glass cleaner that works on multiple surfaces or only specific ones? For example, if you’re cleaning an oven hob then you’ll want the HG Hob Thorough Cleaner, which is designed specifically for hobs. Whereas, if you want a glass cleaner for multiple surfaces then the Astonish Window and Glass Cleaner is ideal. a>
