CLEVELAND -- It may not always feel like it, but it's officially spring and that has many of us doing spring cleaning. There's one product on the market that claims to cut cleaning time and hassle. It's called the "Glass Wizard" and typically sells for $9.99. Professional cleaner Crystal Straus put the "As Seen on TV" product to the test. The product touts a "streak-free shine" on glass, mirrors and shower doors. She liked the design right off the bat. "I like the fact that it's designed in a point so you can get in corners," said Straus. The Glass Wizard is like a wand with a wobbly head. It comes with two micro-fiber bonnets and a grime buster mesh bonnet. It just needs water to work. Unfortunately we couldn't conjure a streak free shine. Straus said, "The microfiber is a good idea but using water to do this, it's going to streak." So she switched from water to Windex and tried again with some success. "All these spots are gone and it's not streaky," she said. And Straus liked the extension on the product as well. "I think the exterior pole is a good idea so you don't have to move your furniture," she said. Next stop was the shower. "As soon as the water evaporates, they (the spots) come right back." The mesh bonnet did help on the car window and so did the handle but in order to keep the glass streak-free, we had to keep changing the cloth.
