How to Clean Your Artglass™ Learn how to clean your Artglass™ to keep it looking its best.
Artglass™ is based on an optical thin layer system, which works on the interference effect. Contaminations on it, such as fingerprints, disturb its optical benefit and appearance much more than that of regular glass. In the event of contamination, we recommend the following cleaning method.
Guide
Materials We Recommend Your Use
- Synthetic microfiber wipe without any chemical softener
- Soft cotton cloth
- Household glass cleaner without ammonia and low content of tenside in a spray bottle
- Clean, dry hands; we recommend powder-free, one-way gloves
How to clean your Artglass™
- Clean glass from top down to avoid cleaning agents drying on the glass
- Moisten the cleaning wipe by lightly spraying with the glass cleaner
- Begin cleaning your Artglass™ by wiping from the center of the glass to the edges
- Using a dry section of the cleaning wipe, polish the remaining streaks or stains with a rotating motion
- Any contamination on Artglass™ (i.e. saliva spots, fingerprints, etc.) should be removed from the glass surface immediately
Special Instructions
- Do not wash the cleaning wipe with a chemical softener
- Do not scratch the glass surface with metallic or ceramic tools (steel wool, cutter, etc.)
- Do not polish the glass using abrasive materials (glass ceramic cleaner, etc.)
- Do not allow dirt and residue to remain on glass for an extended period of time
- Only use glass cleaner that is pH-neutral (pH7) (i.e. no lyes, no acids)
- Do not use regular kitchen paper towels, as they might produce scratches on the coating
- Do not apply substances that "promise" to improve surface quality i.e. silicon spray
