You've only just polished your mirror and it's already covered in new grease stains - an Instagrammer shows you which household remedies you can use to prevent this.

Fingerprints. Nowhere are they more visible than on glass and mirror surfaces. If you have small children in particular, you will certainly be familiar with this phenomenon. However, the solution seems quite simple and does not have to involve constant cleaning: This is shown by a video on Instagram. It comes from content creator Esra, who posts tips against everyday household problems on her account.

The solution fits in a spray bottle

Dishwashing liquid, vinegar, rinse aid and a little hot water: that's all you need to mix up a helping texture. It is designed to form a streak-free protective shield against grease stains. According to Insta-Reel, the quantities are as follows:

1 tablespoon of rinse aid
1 tablespoon of washing-up liquid
1 tablespoon of vinegar
100 millilitres of hot water

Pour all of this into a conventional spray bottle. The hot or warm liquid is then sprayed onto the mirror or glass surface and rubbed in. According to the tutorial, it is best to use a microfibre cloth for this. If you don't have one yet, you're sure to find one in the shop. The ones from Brabantia are particularly popular with our users. And with a funnel for smaller bottles, bottling may also be easier.
