This solution will cut through grease and grime, leaving behind a sparkling finish that won't streak and prevent fingerprint marks.

The key to this solution is the combination of ingredients. Water acts as a base, dish soap helps remove grease and grime, and alcohol removes water stains and disinfects the surface.
Rinse Aid is the "magic" in this DIY hack. It was initially made to help dishwashers clean effectively, but it is highly versatile.

Preventing hard-water stains, Rinse Aid breaks the surface tension of water, leaving behind a streak-free and sparkling finish.
Once Rinse Aid has dried on a surface, water slides off of reflective surfaces instead of sticking and leaving unsightly marks when dried.

Though this hack appears to work well in TikTok, it is always recommended to do a patch test in a small area before using any cleaning product on something it's not designed for.
It's also important to read the instructions on the packaging for any surface the product can't be used on.
