How to cleanse glass surfaces without leaving the strip
- Make a cleaning solution. Add a drop or two dry water soaps in a bucket or spray bottle.
- Dampen the microfiber cloth. Dip a clean microfiber cloth in soap and apply it to the entire glass surface.
- Rinse with water. If the glass is removable and small enough to rinse in a sink or bath, do it. If not, take another microfiber cloth, wet it with water and cleanse the glass to remove the remains of dish soap.
- Use a grip. “Withdrawing tarpaulin consistently and overlapping from the top of the pane to the bottom allows even drying and leaves the crystal clearer,” says Wes True, the glass expert and the Omaha and Lincoln General. It exactly says this process is especially effective on large windows.

Why do they appear on glass surfaces
There are several reasons why stripes appear on glass surfaces. Although it may seem like using more dishwashers in pure glass would bring better results, the opposite is actually true.
“Too much soap creates the rest of the stripes,” says the truth.
