In reality, no specific product is needed to clean the tempered glass side cover (as well as the other parts containing this material). Although there are certain recommendations that must be taken into account to avoid damaging it and obtain an exceptional finish. One of the tips will surely surprise you, but it is very effective.
Leave it really clean and shiny
Despite what you might think, there are several very good options for cleaning the window and achieving a perfect result. Let’s see these different methods and the elements we will need in each case.
Simply with window cleaner
This is the simplest method and is generally used by most users. Everyone at home has one bottle of window cleaner, but I recommend this Glassex window cleaner. I’ve tried several brands and this is the one I like the most, which leaves a very good glossy finish, and also protects against scratches.
One thing you should never do is clean it with paper towels, although it may seem unbelievable, it usually causes scratches. I recommend you use microfiber cloths, which are specific to this task. Additionally, I recommend placing one (or more) on the table to avoid damaging the tempered glass pane.
A traditional method which was used a lot, especially by our grandmothers, to obtain perfect, streak-free glass is to clean it with newspaper. It’s simply a matter of applying the window cleaner and spreading it with the microfiber cloth. Before it dries, wipe it with newspaper to get a perfect finish. Do not make balls or creases with the paper, you must pass it as gently as possible, because if you create edges you could scratch the glass.
Use window cleaning wipes
Another quite comfortable and simple option is to use the typical wipes for clean screens
This is probably the most convenient method, since you’ll probably have a package in a drawer somewhere. If you don’t have one, this pack of Brief wipes is perfect because they are very gentle.
Soap and water
Another very interesting method is to clean it with just a little soap and water wash the dishes. In fact, this is another method that is quite common in homes. But this process requires at least a glass scraper and a microfiber cloth, although specific combinations for this task are ideal.
We have this option from Mr. Siga that includes a scraper and microfiber bar specifically for cleaning windows. Although we can also opt for a simple scraper if we already have microfiber cloths. This will give us a professional and perfect finish.
If you want to be a perfectionist, this Kärcher soap is specific to crystals and will give you an even better finish.
What NOT to use to clean tempered glass
Some users clean the tempered glass window with unwanted products. The first is to consume alcohol, the type typically used for injuries. What happens is that in many cases this can leave white marks that are usually very visible when light shines on the glass.
It is also not recommended to use gauze or kitchen towels, as they may scratch the glass. It is also not advisable to use cotton swabs or makeup remover pads, as they leave lint on the glass. Similar effect to kitchen paper or napkins, which usually leave small particles stuck and look horrible.
