The Best Streak-Free Glass Cleaner? It’s Probably in Your Pantry

June 23, 2025

Swan Hill Cleaning Tips

When it comes to crystal-clear windows and gleaming mirrors, you don’t always need expensive commercial products. At O’Shea Cleaning and Support Services, Swan Hill’s trusted name in professional cleaning, we’ve found that the best streak-free glass cleaner might already be sitting in your pantry.


That’s right — white vinegar.


As one of Swan Hill’s most experienced cleaning teams, we know what works—and what wastes your time. Our go-to solution for spotless glass is simple, natural, and incredibly effective.


DIY Streak-Free Glass Cleaner (O’Shea’s Proven Formula)

Combine the following in a spray bottle:

  • 1 part white vinegar
  • 1 part clean water
  • (Optional) A few drops of essential oil (like lemon, eucalyptus, or lavender) for a fresh finish


Spray this solution directly onto your glass surfaces, then wipe using a lint-free microfiber cloth (not paper towels, which can leave fibers and streaks). This method is perfect for:

  • Windows and sliding doors
  • Bathroom mirrors
  • Shower screens
  • Glass tables


Why Does Vinegar Work?

Vinegar’s natural acidity cuts through grease, grime, and water spots without the sticky residues left by many store-bought glass cleaners. It dries quickly, leaving no smears behind.


Benefits of Natural Glass Cleaning (Why We Recommend It)

  • Eco-friendly and non-toxic: Safe around pets and children
  • Cost-effective: Uses common household ingredients
  • No streaks or buildup
  • Leaves your home smelling fresh when paired with essential oils


O’Shea Cleaning’s Swan Hill Pro Tip:

Always clean your windows and glass surfaces on a cloudy day or during cooler hours. If it’s too sunny, the solution can dry too quickly, causing streaks before you even start wiping.
