Getting glass truly clean, clear and streak-free takes more than wiping it with a cloth and some cleaner. The key is to use the right mixture, apply it properly and remove it correctly. If any step goes wrong, residue or streaks spoil the final result.
To avoid this, Agerul recommends a simple, effective method that is easy to follow at home, using a specific mixture of water and ammonia-based cleaner. Here is how to do it step by step and why it works so well.
The following video explains the process clearly and quickly
1. Prepare the glass
Before applying any product, remove dust and surface dirt. If cleaner is sprayed onto glass containing solid particles, they can be dragged across it during wiping and cause fine scratches or an uneven finish.
Simply wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust, especially from frames and edges. This preparation makes a big difference to the final result.
2. Choose the right product
Ammonia is one of the most effective ingredients for cleaning glass because it dissolves grease, removes fingerprints and evaporates quickly, avoiding residue. This makes it an excellent choice for windows, mirrors and glass surfaces, especially in the correct proportion.
For this method, Agerul recommends Agerul Fragranced Ammonia Cleaner, formulated to clean, degrease and leave a shiny finish on many household surfaces, including glass.
3. Prepare the right mixture
The proportion is one of the method’s most important points. Agerul recommends a balanced mixture that combines effective cleaning and easy drying.
Fill two thirds of a spray bottle with distilled water, then add one third Agerul Fragranced Ammonia Cleaner. Close the bottle and shake gently to mix well.
This proportion lets the cleaner tackle dirt effectively without being excessive or leaving residue on the glass.
4. Apply the mixture to the glass
With the mixture ready, spray directly onto the glass. There is no need to soak the surface: a moderate amount is enough for the product to work properly.
Start at the top of the glass and work downwards to control the product and prevent it running onto areas already cleaned.
5. Remove the cleaner and finish
Remove the mixture with a clean, dry cotton cloth. Cotton is especially suitable because it does not shed lint and allows even drying, leaving glass clean and streak-free.
With one careful wipe, the glass becomes clear and shiny, without rinsing or repeating the process.

When is the best time to clean glass?
Although often overlooked, the time of day affects the result. Cleaning glass in direct sunlight makes the product dry too quickly, leaving stubborn streaks. Whenever possible, clean it at room temperature and away from intense heat.
The most common mistakes
A common mistake when cleaning windows and mirrors is thinking more product gives a better result. In fact, the opposite happens: excess cleaner often leaves residue that dries onto the glass and causes streaks. Unsuitable cloths, cleaning in sunlight and poorly suited products add to the problem.
Glass rewards proper cleaning but is also unforgiving: any trace of grease, dust or detergent becomes visible in the light.
Conclusion
Cleaning glass does not have to be complicated. With Agerul’s recommended method and the correct proportion of product and water, you can achieve spotless, streak-free glass with an even shine in minutes.
For an effective, simple way to keep windows and mirrors looking perfect, this method with Agerul Fragranced Ammonia Cleaner is a tried-and-tested solution that is easy to use in any home.
