CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Care & Cleaning: Glass or Mirror

  • Always use fresh, clean and soft materials to wash and dry glass

  • Do not use bristle brushes or abrasive cleaning materials or products

  • Use a soft cloth or clean synthetic sponge for washing. Do not use the same towel/sponge for wiping sills or frames

  • A squeegee of 70 - 85 durometer hardness is recommended for removal of wash water and dirt

  • Do not apply heavy pressure in any cleaning operation

  • Use a different sponge, cleaning cloth and water bucket for cleaning the outside and the inside of the windows

  • A little extra detergent for cleaning will make using the squeegee easier

  • When cleaning mirror or back painted products ensure that there is no stagnant water around the edges, or it will start to paint / silvering will begin to deteriorate

  • For mirror, showers, railings, and partitions we recommend you use Barber Glass Cleaner. Available for purchase at our office.

  • Never store glass or mirror outside.

Care & Cleaning: Stainless Steel

  • Regularly wipe down stainless-steel surfaces with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and mild detergent

  • Dry the surface immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and streaks.

  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as they can scratch the surface.

  • Always wipe or scrub in the direction of the grain to maintain the finish.

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, as they can damage the finish.

  • Inspect stainless steel surfaces regularly for signs of damage or wear.

Care & Cleaning: Aluminum

  • Clean anodized aluminum surfaces regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap mixed with warm water

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, polishes, or steel wool, as they can scratch/dull the anodized surface

  • Dry the surface immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and streaks.

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, including bleach, ammonia, and strong acids, as they can damage the anodized finish

  • Use caution when using abrasive tools or utensils on anodized aluminum surfaces to prevent scratches.

  • Protect anodized aluminum surfaces from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV radiation can cause fading over time.
