**Love It When It’s Streak-Free! Tips for Achieving Sparkling, Streak-Free Surfaces Everywhere**
### Why Streaks Happen
First, let’s understand why streaks appear in the first place. Streaks are caused when cleaning products leave behind a residue that doesn’t fully evaporate. This can be due to using too much cleaner, wiping in the wrong direction, or using the wrong type of cloth. To get a streak-free shine, it’s important to address these issues.
**1. Use the Right Cleaner**
Not all cleaners are created equal when it comes to leaving a streak-free finish. When cleaning windows or mirrors, choose a cleaner that is designed for glass surfaces or opt for a natural, DIY solution such as a mix of **vinegar and water** (1:1 ratio). This simple solution works wonders and doesn’t leave behind any residue.
For surfaces like countertops or stainless steel, make sure you’re using a cleaner that is formulated for that material. For example, **stainless steel cleaners** will clean without streaking, leaving your appliances shiny and fingerprint-free.
