Cleaning guru Mrs Hinch is a fan and uses it on all the shiny areas of her bathroom, such as taps, plugs and shower heads. Simply spray it on, scrub the surface with a non-scratch scourer to remove any stains and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Then rinse and buff with a clean microfibre cloth. Ammonia is a common ingredient in household cleaners due to its ability to swiftly and easily break down grease and grime. It’s also able to evaporate relatively fast, ensuring streak-free surfaces.Looking at the ingredients is another way to choose the best glass cleaner for your surfaces. Some people prefer to use products with ammonia in it, such as Windex Original, as this helps to prevent streaks and makes glass shiny, but it can also smell strongly and irritate your skin and eyes. Choosing the perfect glass cleaner spray for your household will really depend on what you’re looking for.

When it comes to cleaning oven hobs, wiping them with a standard cleaner may get rid of food stains but can leave behind unsightly smears. The Hob Thorough Cleaner by HG has been designed to clean and leave a protective shine. As the formula is so powerful, you only need to spray a small amount and, once you've covered the glass with a light spray, you need to wipe it away with a lint-free cloth and buff it until it's dry. For more stubborn stains, you can leave the spray to soak for a few minutes before wiping it away, but be careful not to leave it on too long as it may cause streaking. Most chemical-based glass cleaners are unscented, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have an aroma, which may smell strongly and require good ventilation. What is the best product to clean glass? There’s a vast selection of glass cleaners available. Some are multipurpose, while others are specific for certain types of glass (such as car windows). As it’s an American product, Brits do have to pay a bit more to buy it, but Windex fans love how versatile it is, using it on everything from mirrors and showers to printer heads and trainers (yes, really). We also like that the Windex bottle has an easy-grip design and is made from 100% recycled plastic.

Use a spray bottle and lightly cover the glass with your cleaning solution. Start at the top of the glass and work your way down, ensuring all of the glass is covered in the cleaner.

In addition, Windex’s option potentially contains ammonia, so may not be ideal if you’re looking for an ammonia-free product, but they make their bottles using 100% ocean bound plastic.

The solution may smell for a while but shouldn’t last long. But be careful though as it can discolour some materials, such as wood. For very dirty windows, you can also add ammonia, but make sure you wear gloves. Instead of using a cloth, newspapers can also be effective at getting rid of smears. How we chose our recommendations The first thing to consider when choosing the best glass cleaner is what you need it for. Do you want a glass cleaner that works on multiple surfaces or only specific ones? For example, if you’re cleaning an oven hob then you’ll want the HG Hob Thorough Cleaner, which is designed specifically for hobs. Whereas, if you want a glass cleaner for multiple surfaces then the Astonish Window and Glass Cleaner is ideal. Vinegar is a common household ingredient that is well-known for its versatile cleaning abilities. In this case, the acidic composition of vinegar swiftly breaks down film that can often be seen on glass surfaces. Vinegar can sometimes be a key ingredient in the most popular glass cleaning products.Fingertip-stained glass and dirt-smeared windows are not only unsightly but can increase allergens and encourage mould to grow in your home, which is why choosing an effective glass cleaner is vital.
