Pro Cleaner Advice

Ditch paper towels for waffle-weave microfiber cloths. Aerosol foams like Sprayway stay where you spray them, preventing drips onto wood vanity trim or baseboards.

Frequently Asked Questions: Glass & Stainless-Steel Cleaners

Why do my mirrors look streaky in morning sunlight?

Streaking is almost always caused by residual detergent film from previously used cleaners or dirty wash cloths. Use an alcohol-based cleaner and a dedicated dry buffing cloth.

Can I use standard glass cleaner on stainless steel appliances?

Yes, but foaming glass cleaner or specialized stainless cleaners work best. Always wipe in the direction of the metal grain to avoid microscopic scratches.
