Introduction:
When it comes to achieving streak-free, crystal-clear glass, many common cleaning methods fall short, leaving behind frustrating halos or spots. The cornstarch method is a tried-and-true technique for achieving spotless glass surfaces, from windows to mirrors. This simple, effective solution not only removes stubborn halos but also leaves your glass looking brilliant without the use of harsh chemicals. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of polishing glass using cornstarch and offer tips for getting the best results.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 cup of water (preferably distilled)
1/2 cup of white vinegar
A clean microfiber cloth
A soft towel or polishing cloth
Directions:
Prepare the Solution: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together, ensuring the cornstarch fully dissolves into the water.
Add Vinegar: Stir in the white vinegar to the mixture, combining all ingredients to form a smooth liquid.
Apply to Glass: Dampen a microfiber cloth with the cornstarch solution, ensuring it is not soaking wet but lightly moist.
Clean the Glass: Gently wipe the glass surface with the cloth, applying even pressure. Start from the top and work your way down in circular motions to avoid streaks.
Polish: Once the glass is covered, use a soft towel or polishing cloth to buff the surface. This will help remove any leftover residue and enhance the clarity.
Final Check: Inspect the glass for any remaining halos. If necessary, repeat the process for a more flawless finish.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Use the cornstarch solution immediately for the best results, as it can begin to settle over time. Clean the glass in a well-lit area to spot any remaining streaks or halos before finishing the process.
Storage: If there’s leftover solution, store it in a tightly sealed container. Shake well before each use as cornstarch tends to settle. Keep it in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
