How We Tested Method Glass Cleaner
I tested Method Glass Cleaner on windows and mirrors of various dirt levels. I sprayed it and wiped it off with a paper towel.
It cleans well on surfaces with minimal dirt build-up. But I also tested it on extra-dirty glass, like the kitchen window that my kids smudge with messy fingerprints and my oldest daughter’s bathroom mirror, which is littered with toothpaste and makeup.
Here’s how it worked: Method Glass Cleaner requires some scrubbing to remove heavy build-up but still cleans well.
In my kids’ bathroom, I clean half the mirror with Invisible Glass Cleaner and half with Method Glass Cleaner. On the Method side, there was slight streaking where I tried to clean up dried-on toothpaste. On the Invisible Glass Cleaner side, there was zero streaking.
Overall I think Method is a good glass cleaner comparable to homemade versions. But for a perfect clean, you may have to go over some areas twice.
