Years of commercial cleaners on your windows, sinks and floors have caused a film to cover your surfaces. This is why people think the homemade cleaners do not work. For example, the first time you clean your mirror with vinegar, it will streak. Now you may think the homemade cleaner does not work and give up and go back to commercial cleaners. That is the problem. Now every problem has a solution and here is a great one.

Before you can use the homemade cleaners to their full potential, you need to remove the film. Lemon juice is a great solution. Put some lemon juice on a sponge, wipe the surface, let sit for a few hours and rinse.
