    There are special microfiber cloths for cleaning glass and mirrors. I use a wet one for removing the dirt and a dry one for streak free drying. Better than anything I've ever tried before!

I always struggle to find any capsule minimalist athletic apparel .I work out once a day and you possibly do it lesser but if you could provide any content like that it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Moving is rough. We had boxes stacked to the ceiling. It took for ever for us to get it all put away. I want a little bigger place. But I don’t want to move again. It’s nice to have a washer in your apartment. I’m not sure what I would do if I didn’t have one. We had to live like pioneers, when we first moved to our house. No power or water. Now that I’m used to it. I freak out when the power goes out. It’s usually some tree that takes down the power lines.I love the new apartment. I like the kitchen tiles. The color is great. You will be settled in no time.

  • @steffney

    I‘ve heard you shouldn’t use glass cleaner on mirrors because it will rust or damage the mirror. I’ve heard using a wet microfiber cloth and a dry one after works best 😊 great video!

    I like to use diluted vinegar (2 parts water, 1 part vinegar) for a super cheap all natural window cleaner. Just wipe with a cheap paper towel. Bougie paper towels will leave a little lint behind. The vinegar smell dissipates very quickly, so don’t worry about your house smelling like a salad 😂

    For the mirror, if you use newspaper instead of a cloth to wipe the windex off, it won't leave streaks. Just remember to change the newspaper once it gets a bit soggy or else it will leave particles behind. My mom taught me this trick and it works really well 😊

      This is a good tip. Many name-brand paper towels have softener that make streaks on your mirror. Cheap paper towels also work.

  • @agiraldo109
    @agiraldo109 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    the trick to not getting streaks on your mirror/glass windows is using NEWSPAPER instead of paper towels!! I learned this trick from a restaurant I used to work at and it's never failed me

    @penelopewilcock3847 ปีที่แล้ว

    What the others said about cleaning the mirror - use paper. If you don't have a newspaper, kitchen roll (paper towel) will do, or even toilet paper. Also, if you put vinegar in the washing water, and just the tiniest amount of washing up liquid (dish soap).

  • @Barb6106
    @Barb6106 ปีที่แล้ว

    A TINY bit of dish detergent in lots of water… wipe the mirror with a microfiber rag/soap mix.. then squeegee off. Spotless. We have a window cleaner who does all the house windows in and out. I had a big floor mirror that I could never get done without streaking. He showed me this and I threw out all the dumb window “cleaners”.. a joke and waste of time.
    Enjoy your channel very much!
