Woman uses clever mop hack to clean her mirrors like 'a professional window cleaner'

Sometimes, when you're doing the monthly big clean of your home you can forget to do your mirrors - you're constantly looking in them, but they go overlooked when it comes to making them look shiny again. Often, it is because it takes a lot of effort to clean them, but one savvy woman has taken all the pain out of it, whilst keeping all the shiny benefits.

Cleaning guru Mai Zimmy took to TikTok to show people the easiest and most accessible way to clean your mirrors quickly and efficiently with just a few items - a flat mop, glass cleaner, and a microfibre polishing cloth.

Mai then clears everything from the surface which may get in the way of her cleaning, and temporarily places it in the sink.

She continues by spraying the mirror with a generous amount of glass cleaner, ensuring that every part of it is covered.

Then she says: "Then you attach the polishing cloth to the mop - just having it held in by the little holes. It's fine to have some overhang because that will stay dry for a second pass.

"Then, just like a professional window cleaner you can clean and polish up your mirror glass and it is so freakin' easy."

The glass is gleaming as soon as she's polished it up, and other people were quick to praise the hack.

One user left a poignant comment, writing: "As someone in a wheelchair- this made it possible for me to truly clean my whole bathroom on my own!"

Another said: "Can use the swifter and a rag to wash the walls too."

"WHAT?!? I’ve been climbing on the counter for how many years?!?", another fumed.

"My 5ft self thanks you for this tip, I never clean the top half", someone else wrote, followed by a crying with laughter face.
