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

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
