General care tips for outdoor areas
In principle, any aggressive soiling during the course of the construction work must be avoided. Should this nevertheless occur, the soiling must be washed off immediately after it has occurred by the person causing it using non-aggressive agents without leaving any residue. Concrete or cement slurries in particular are highly alkaline and will lead to etching of the glass ("blinding") if they are not rinsed off immediately with plenty of water. Dusty and granular deposits must be removed professionally, but never dry.
For subsequent care, it is usually sufficient to clean both the glass side and the color side with clear, clean water to avoid an abrasive effect caused by dirt particles. Spraying the glass with a water hose is sufficient in most cases. Grease stains or organic stains can be removed with commercially available soaps (alkaline solutions). Avoid contamination with oils, greases, silicones and other low-viscosity substances.
Please remove weather-related impurities first with water and then with alkaline solutions. Limescale deposits can be removed with commercially available glass cleaners if necessary. The use of corrosive chemicals should always be avoided.
Suitable tools include soft, clean sponges or cloths. The use of pointed, sharp metal objects, such as blades or knives, can cause surface damage in the form of scratches and is therefore unsuitable.
The most important tips summarized:
- Clean all surfaces regularly. The older the dirt, the more difficult it is to remove.
- Use a soft sponge, chamois leather or a glass wiper for all surfaces.
- Clean with little pressure and over a large area with a damp cloth.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, vinegar essence or cleaning agents with abrasives.
- The glass can be sprayed from both sides with a water hose.
- Avoid soiling with oils, greases, silicones and other highly viscous substances, as these are difficult or impossible to remove without leaving residues. Avoid soiling with concrete or cement slurries, as these can cause the glass to corrode.
FAQs on glass cleaning
Regular cleaning is important to keep the glass shining for a long time. Basically, the less maintenance required, the more often it is cleaned.
If the water in your household contains a lot of limescale, we recommend using distilled water to clean the glasses.
If limescale stains do occur, they can be removed with a light mixture of vinegar and water. You can also prevent limescale deposits by wiping dry afterwards.
If possible, use limescale-free water and do not use paper towels to dry and clean the glass. We recommend using a glass wiper to wipe the glass.
Excessive pressure when cleaning causes fine dust particles to rub across the glass and can leave scratches on the glass. Therefore, make sure you use a soft, damp cloth when cleaning to prevent this.
Only use mild cleaning agents such as a few drops of washing-up liquid. Clear water is usually sufficient.
Never use scouring agents, steel wool, cleaning agents with abrasive additives or agents containing acetic or citric acid or other chemicals of any kind, as they will damage the surfaces.
