What Type of Glass Cleaner Should I Use?

What Type of Glass Cleaner Should I Use?

The Australian Window Association recommends that you clean windows using a non-abrasive pH neutral detergent solution.

Ammonia-based and alcohol-based glass cleaners are not recommended due to the streaky residue they can leave behind. Some branded glass cleaning solutions can cause damage to speciality glass such as laminated, tinted and coated glass such as Low E glass.

The safest option for cleaning glass is to follow this simple solution:

  • Mix 200mL of methylated spirits with 1.5Lt of clean warm water.
  • Dip a non-abrasive damp cloth into the solution, thoroughly squeeze it out and then wipe the glass all over.
  • Using a separate soft lint-free cloth, polish the glass surface.
  • Repeat the process on the other side of the glass.

Refer to our Cleaning & Maintenance guide for complete cleaning instructions and recommended solutions for:

  • Locks, Catches and Rollers
  • Standard Glass
  • Paint Spots
  • High-Performance Glass
