Glass Care
To maintain the shine and transparency of your glass furniture, regular and proper maintenance is essential. Here are some practical tips for effectively cleaning and protecting your glass furniture:
1. Regular cleaning:
- Dusting: Use a soft, clean cloth to remove dust from the glass surface. Avoid abrasive cloths that could scratch the glass.
- Cleaning Smudges: To remove fingerprints and other marks, prepare a solution of two parts water and one part white vinegar. Soak a microfiber cloth in this mixture and clean the surface using circular motions. Then, dry with a dry cloth to avoid streaks.
2. Removing stubborn stains:
- Baking soda: For stubborn stains, mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste. Apply this paste to the stain, leave for a few minutes, then rub gently with a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
- Rubbing alcohol: For glue, ink or water-based paint stains, rubbing alcohol can be used with caution. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently rub the stain. Then clean the area with soapy water, rinse and dry.
3. Scratch prevention:
- Avoid abrasive objects: Do not place sharp or rough objects directly on the glass surface to prevent scratches. Use placemats, coasters or tablecloths to protect the glass.
- Gentle cleaning: When cleaning, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the glass. Use soft cloths and suitable cleaners.
4. Additional tips:
- Using Newspaper: For a streak-free finish, you can use newspaper rolled into a ball to wipe the glass surface after cleaning. This method helps prevent streaks and gives the glass a beautiful shine.
- Avoid heat exposure: Do not place hot objects directly on the glass, as this may cause cracking or breaking. Use trivets to protect the surface.
By following these recommendations, you will preserve the beauty and transparency of your glass furniture, allowing it to maintain its elegant and modern appearance over time.
