When you have the right cleaning tools, cleaning glass and mirrors becomes easier and the results more rewarding, especially if you do it together with family!
Here are five IKEA cleaning tools to help you achieve spotless, streak-free glass surfaces.
Tool 1: A squeegee or rubber glass wiper
The IKEA squeegee is an essential tool for removing leftover water from shower glass, mirrors, and windows after you wipe them with a damp cloth.
Its pulling motion helps prevent water stains and stubborn mineral buildup. This is thanks to its non slip synthetic rubber blade.
The handle is made of high quality polypropylene with a comfortable grip. With just this tool, you can maintain glass clarity longer before dirt starts accumulating again.
Tool 2: A multipurpose microfiber cloth
These colorful IKEA microfiber cloths are a must have for everyday cleaning. Use them to clean glass or mirrors, remove small stains, or apply the finishing touches after spraying your cleaning solution.
The cloth absorbs water easily and dries quickly. The green microfiber cloth even features two different textures: a soft side for wiping glass and a rougher side for tackling tougher stains, without scratching the surface.
Thanks to its ability to trap dust and dirt without leaving lint or streaks, microfiber cloth is ideal for a spotless, polished finish.
Tool 3: A telescopic window brush for high areas
For upper floor windows or hard to reach high spots, IKEA’s telescopic glass brush offers a safe, convenient solution; no need to climb a ladder to reach tricky corners.
This tool offers extended reach and smooth control, allowing for thorough cleaning without compromising comfort or safety. Both the microfiber pad and handle can be replaced when needed. Easy, right?
Tool 4: A high quality spray bottle
Cleaning feels incomplete without a cleaning liquid, either your own mixture or a store-bought formula. Using a sturdy and comfortable spray bottle from IKEA helps you distribute the product evenly. As a result, the cleaning process becomes more efficient and less wasteful.
Tool 5: A microfiber scrubber
This IKEA microfiber scrubber with a microfiber pad acts as a “lifesaver” for stubborn stains like hardened water marks.
This small tool effectively targets specific dirty spots without scratching or damaging the glass surface. It’s practical, precise, and perfect for details that other tools struggle to handle.

Smart tricks for using IKEA cleaning tools to avoid streaks
To get the best results, use a squeegee with a consistent motion, either vertically or horizontally. This helps direct water in one direction, preventing random streaks from forming on the glass surface.
After each swipe, clean the squeegee’s rubber blade with a microfiber cloth. This small step prevents dirt or excess water from being reapplied to the glass during the next pass.
When done correctly, you’ll achieve a neat, professional, streak-free finish, just like a polished surface handled by an expert.
