Cleaning Glass And Treating Scratches

After closing a shower door, a glass cleaning agent should be applied to the exterior side of the glass with a soft cloth. After the glass is clean, imperfections on the exterior side of the door can clearly be seen. A small amount of cerium oxide needs to be poured onto a buffing sponge. A sponge needs to be pressed firmly over each scratch before moving a sponge around in small circles. More cerium oxide may need to be applied to a sponge to eliminate scratches completely. A glass cleaning agent that has been applied to a clean cloth can be wiped over surfaces that have traces of cerium oxide on them.

Applying Privacy Film

After measuring the length and width of a shower door, a piece of privacy film should be cut that is the same size. The adhesive backing needs to be removed from a piece of privacy film before lining up the film with a section of glass. Film should be pressed securely to the exterior side of Shower Doors in Brooklyn MI. A small amount of water can be sprayed on the edges of a piece of film to assist with adhesion. A squeegee should be moved across privacy film in straight lines to flatten film and remove on wrinkles in its surface.

Glass surfaces that have privacy film adhered to them should be cleaned with a mild detergent that has been mixed with water. Soft cloths should be used to wipe dirty surfaces to prevent them from becoming scratched. If a shower door or another glass item inside of a home or business becomes severely damaged, Maple City Glass Inc or another glass company can be hired to make repairs or install new pieces of glass.
