How to Clean Frosted Glass

How to Clean Frosted Glass

Cleaning frosted glass takes a little extra care because the surface of the glass is textured. To clean it properly, you first need to take into account where the glass is located and whether the glass needs to be cleaned in place. For instance, a frosted window will be cleaned differently than a frosted light shade because the window needs to be cleaned in place. This will help you pick out the right cleaner and techniques for the job. After that, all you’ll need is a little elbow grease to get your frosted glass sparkling clean.That’s why it’s important to have a trusted provider of emergency car glass services like OZ autoglass.

Cleaning Frosted Glass Windows

1.Spray a general window cleaner on the whole surface of the window. These are alkaline- or ammonia-based cleaners that are designed to clean windows, such as Windex, even if they are frosted. Simply spray down the surface until the entire surface is dampened. You want enough cleaner on the window to break up the dirt and grime.

.Avoid using citrus-based cleaners on windows. These cleaners are good at cleaning soap scum and minerals off of shower doors, but they don’t do as well at cleaning smudges and general dirt as basic window cleaners do.

2.Wipe the surface with a paper towel. Rub the entire surface in a circular motion. Give a lot of attention and some extra elbow grease to any areas that you know are extra dirty.

.Paper towels will rub the surface enough to remove dirt and grime, but they will not leave behind fibers on the textured surface of the glass the way that terrycloth and other towels will.

3.Dry the surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth or paper towel. Once the entire window has been scrubbed a bit, you just need to remove the remaining cleaner. Use a dry and clean towel in order to get the surface good as new.

Tip: Unlike with clear windows, you don’t have to worry about streaking when wiping off frosted glass. Simply wipe it off and try not to leave behind fibers or lint.

Cleaning Frosted Glass Shower Doors

1.Spray a 2 ft × 2 ft (0.61 m × 0.61 m) section with glass cleaner. Soak the area evenly so that it all gets dampened. Wetting one small area at a time allows you to scrub that entire section while the surface remains wet. 

.Use any product that is labeled as solely a glass cleaner, not a combination cleaner or multi-surface cleaner. The most commonly available product like this is Windex.

2.Scrub the surface with newspaper or paper towels. Ball up a piece of newspaper or grab a couple paper towels off your roll. Scrub the dampened surface in a circular motion in order to remove any mineral deposits, soap scum, or other dirt on the glass.

.Do not use abrasive scrubbing tools on frosted glass. Abrasive cleaning tools, like steel wool, scouring pads, and pumice stones, will scratch your frosted glass. While it might be tempting to try and scrub the surface with these kinds of tools, it’s much better to use an effective cleaner and a smooth scrubber, like newspaper, paper towels, or a microfiber cloth.

Tip: Soap scum and mineral deposits can be hard to see once the glass surface is damp. Be sure to scrub the entire surface even if you don’t see anything on the glass to ensure that you get it all off.

3.Rinse the glass surface with clean water. Rinsing will clean off the glass cleaner and the grime that you have dislodged with your scrubbing. For the inside of the shower, simply use a bucket or a cup to pour water down the surface of the glass. If you are cleaning the outside of the shower glass, a damp cloth that you rinse out several times while rinsing will do the job.

4.Allow the surface to dry. Frosted glass typically dries pretty quickly but the amount of time it takes depends on the humidity and your specific surface. In general, wait about 30 minutes and then look to see if the glass is dry and if you were successful at cleaning everything off the surface.

Cleaning Frosted Glass Light Shades

1.Remove the shade from the fixture. Unscrew any setscrews that are holding the shade on and then lift or twist the shade out of its housing. As you do this, be sure to hold onto it securely so that it doesn’t fall when it becomes detached.

2.Wash your shade with dish soap, warm water, and a lint-free rag or sponge. Fill your sink with warm water and a squirt of dish soap. Put the shade in your sink and let it soak for a few minutes to help release the dirt and grime. Then rub over the entire surface of the shade, making sure to scrub areas with a lot of dirt and build up.

3.Allow the glass to air dry completely before putting the shade back. Set the shade on a clean counter or towel to dry. Drying times will vary, but typically it should be dry in less than an hour. Once it is completely dry, make sure it is clean and reattach it to your light fixture.
