    How do you clean glass/mirrors?

    We have mirrored robe doors in three of our 4 bedrooms and I swear I have to clean them every second day I do the mirrors, the TV and the glass on the entertainment unit all at the same time because they are constantly covered in little paw prints

    People did warn me about this but I figure once the kids are older it won't be such an issue.

    I clean them with window cleaner and paper towel but find it doesn't leave them exactly sparkling and often the paper towels leave fibres behind which drives me nuts.

    I did try using vinegar and water in a spray bottle but this was even worse.

    How do you clean your mirrors/glass?

    Enjo. Just dampen the the cloth, wipe it down and dry it. Easy. Leaves it spotless with no film/residue left behind to show up fresh finger marks.

    Yeah, Enjo rocks! You can't get Enjo brand at the supermarket, only the rip offs. But they might be just as good, I have no idea! If you check out the website I'm sure you'll find someone to buy it from hun. FWIW, although it's a bit exxy, I have been using mine for years now! And I love being (mostly) chemical free.

    But yeah, newspaper sounds like a good, cheap option to me

    We just had a run of enjo parties... should have had a local BB one! I just replaced all my fibres.. they lasted me nearly 5 years! You can order them from a sales consultant.. tho they will probably push for a party.. but to be honest, if you don't mind those kinds of parties, they're the best way to get your stuff cheaper (as the host).

    I love my enjo so much the consultants always pressure me to become a consultant LOL.

    A friend of mine just had a run of parties too but she lives pretty far from me so I didn't go. I wonder if she could call the lady and order it for me...hmmm...

    I've just changed from using window cleaner and paper towel to using metho and a lint free cloth. Works a treat!
    I also read that cleaning bathroom mirrors with eucaliptus oil prevents them fogging. Haven't done that one yet but plan to this week.
