      This is what i do at home...


      Scrunch a piece of newspaper, wet it slightly and then use it to clean the mirrors and class doors. It cleans effectively within causing \"streaky\" marks on the surface. Best of all, no need to spend :moneyflies: on cleaning products. :lol:
      Could try using a piece of newspaper and spraying glass cleaner instead of water šŸ˜„ A bottle of glass cleaner won't cost u too much I think :lol: My mom used to do this and it's very effective

          Hi,

          I spray some soap on the glass, then use the newspaper (crunched) to wipe it dry.

            Thanks, janet



            Do u take lots of energy and time just to wipe it dry?

            I find cleaning glass very time consuming and esp seeing stains still all over...

              Hi Joy,

              I put a little dish detergent in water, use a cloth/sponge to go over the glass. Then use a squeegee (can get from Ikea, cold storage) to clear away the water. Will then use either cloth or newspaper to mop up any remnants.

              For the grilles/metally portion, I buy the white melamine spongelike thing - it gets ride of stains like a dream (and only need to dip into water, no detergent).

                My 2 cents:

                * observe and learn from how professionals work
                * products are indispensable. (I'll try out with a steamer cleaner though for CNY)

                    Congrats jenybc! Certainly not an easy route, but think of all the gray cells you are NOT killing over her.
