You’ve invested a lot of money into your home and the glass items in it. The last thing you want is for them to start looking shabby or feeling dirty after just a few months. Properly maintaining your glass products can help keep their good look as well as make sure they are staying safe from harmful bacteria. Follow these maintenance and cleaning tips, and you will notice the difference it makes on all of your home’s surfaces!
Windows
For a streak-free effect, follow these simple steps to clean your windows and glass doors effectively. Firstly, wipe down with a lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution. Make sure you avoid using abrasive materials like wire wool and remove any jewellery or watches that could scratch the glass while cleaning. And lastly make sure not to use too much water as it can leave smear marks.
Splashbacks
You are probably not cleaning your kitchen splashback as often as you should. The reason for this is likely because it’s hidden from view, but the truth is that a dirty and greasy glass surface will make any room feel less fresh. To ensure your home has an air of cleanliness, aim to give your splashbacks a thorough scrub every one or two weeks with proper products. If you have ever spilled anything on them before, don’t wait until they build up- try to wipe away spills immediately so that these stains won’t be difficult to remove later! Buffing after cleaning ensures streak-free glasses once again.
Glass table tops
A glass-topped table or glass shelves are a great addition to any home, but they show every speck of dust and dirt. It is wise to place mats and coasters on the table so that you can avoid stains from liquids or solids, which can happen if something falls off your plate onto the surface. Make sure not only to clean them carefully with a non-abrasive cleaner, but also give it a proper wash once every one or two weeks for best results!
Mirrors
Scrapers used to wipe the surface will scratch your mirror, causing loss of shine over time. The solution? Simply wiping down with a dry cloth once in a while is all that’s needed. Then give it an occasional wash with non-abrasive soap or window cleaner.
