Keeping your home clear of fingerprints can sometimes feel like an endless task. No matter how much glass cleaner you use, they reappear.
While purchasing a glass table might have seemed like a good interior design choice, it’s also an easy target for greasy fingerprints, especially at dinnertime.
Thankfully, one TikTok user has found an easy, homemade, fingerprint-resistant solution that can be made with just a few household items.
It’s free from harsh chemicals, and you don’t have to worry about damaging delicate materials. Plus, you likely already have the ingredients in your kitchen cupboard.
According to user @cleaning20243, mixing white vinegar, rinse aid, and dish soap with warm water creates a solution that will leave your glass free of unwanted fingerprint marks.
The account has several cleaning videos and suggests mixing the solution in a spray bottle before applying it to your chosen surface. While it works great on glass surfaces, it can also be used on stainless steel and matte cabinets, making it a great kitchen essential.
Using a microfiber cloth to wipe away the solution, the creator touches the freshly cleaned surface with their hand, removing it to show no residual marks.
You’ll need white vinegar, rinse aid, and dish soap to make the solution. Rinse aids can also prevent water marks from appearing on glass items placed in the dishwasher and keep glass in the home free from unwanted fingerprints.
If you don’t have the products, you can buy them at most supermarkets. White vinegar is readily available in all high-street supermarkets, including Morrisons, Asda, and Tesco, where it’s currently sold for 70p.
Fairy dish soap is available for 69p at Waitrose, and Asda sells rinse aid for £1.75.
