Lastly, you must protect yourself with a filter mask respirator to avoid inhalation of flying debris and plastic particles. Buffing Method Would second Autoglym. Always impressed with their products.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user PinkJam) Our verdict With the best window cleaners, there are few household tasks more satisfying – transforming windows from grubby panes into clear sheets of glass. But for so many of us, DIY window cleaning is rife with frustration and failure, with stubborn streaks and dribbles destroying all best efforts. It is also important to use a polishing wheel in proportion to the size of the acrylic glass window. Otherwise, the sheets could experience friction burns and damage. The wheel itself should be covered with muslin to ensure lower temperatures during buffing.

Nilglass for glass and mirrors. Nothing compares to how excellent this product is.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user Roselilly36) Our verdict Second story and hard-to-reach windows are easier to clean without a ladder thanks to this All-in-One Glass and Window Cleaner Tool Starter Kit from Windex. Simply dampen outdoor windows and one cleaning pad with a hose. Place the pad on the pole and wipe the windows. In our tests, we found the water-activated cleaner in the pad cut through and dissolved outdoor dirt and grime. After cleaning, simply rinse the window again with your garden hose and let it air dry. Whether you opt for hot, soapy water or an acrylic cleaner, be gentle and only use light pressure as you wipe. Too much pressure can actually cause scratching. Use a dry soft cotton cloth to dry off the acrylic. Give it a little buff or polish with this cloth too. Use a spray bottle and lightly cover the glass with your cleaning solution. Start at the top of the glass and work your way down, ensuring all of the glass is covered in the cleaner.It’s possible to clean your windows to a professional standard but it takes a little know-how and the right tools for the job. If you can find a glass cleaner with ammonia in it, try that. It works on nearly everything. Favourite brand is the American glass cleaner Windex.” (Rated by Mumsnet user aNewYorkerInLondon) Our verdict Second, polish the window using a polisher and a good grade of polish like those made by Dometic (Seitz). Using a circular motion here during polishing is obviously fine. Make as many passes with the polish as needed. Keep the polish wet with a spritz bottle, but not too wet. You’ll get a feel as you gain more experience with the process. For deeper, more difficult scratches a heavier grade of polish or compound like Diamond’s might be needed. Make sure this work is done in the shade to prevent the polish from drying out. Seitz Acrylic Polish is now licensed under Dometic. A rotary tool like a Makita makes the polishing job go much faster. Polishing will produce a glazed appearance which is removed by warm water and a microfiber cloth. That is why it is being used widely in multiple environments such as offices, schools, homes and so on. The fact that a form of acrylic glass is used in airplane windows is a testament to its strength. It can quite obviously withstand copious amounts of pressure and still maintain transparency. For this job, you’ll need several things. Even though you can do this job by hand, we strongly recommend using either a Dewalt polisher or an 18 volt battery operated rotary drill like those made by Makita. These devices make the job go much faster. In addition to the Dometic window cleaner and polish, we also recommend getting a set of microfiber buffing pads, a buffing wheel to mount on your drill, and a load of microfiber cloths. You’ll also need a small bottle of warm water to keep the polish wet while buffing. Before starting, you’ll also want to remove all jewelry like rings and watches, which can accidentally scratch the windows while working on them (don’t ask me how I know). I. Polishing

You might be thinking whether it is wise to choose acrylic glass over the normal glass. After all, it cannot be cleaned like normal glass and so, maintenance might be problematic. However, nothing could be further from the truth. As it’s an American product, Brits do have to pay a bit more to buy it, but Windex fans love how versatile it is, using it on everything from mirrors and showers to printer heads and trainers (yes, really). We also like that the Windex bottle has an easy-grip design and is made from 100% recycled plastic. Designed with professional window cleaners in mind, Nilco Nilgass H3 promises to be a failsafe glass and mirror cleaner for smear-free results. It’s suitable for most types of glass, including shower screens and glass tables, and all water-resistant hard surfaces so you can use it both around your home and to clean your car. You might be wondering if the acrylic glass is any different from normal glass. Rest assured, it is quite different from the standard glass in regards to its formation and structural design. In fact, acrylic glass is essentially a see-through thermoplastic that shares visible characteristics of glass. Therefore, it has been classified as such even though at its core, it is quite different from rudimentary glass. Cleaning acrylic windows is not the same as cleaning glass ones. Use the wrong product and it could permanently damage the window, requiring an expensive full replacement.The secret to getting crystal clear windows is to use a quality squeegee with a soft blade (like window cleaners do). Start at one side and either sweep from side-to-side to the bottom or start at one side and swipe from top to bottom and then use your fingers or a cloth to wipe excess water off the squeegee before the next swipe. In fact, use the wrong product and you could end up with more marks than you started with. The right glass cleaner and cloth, however, will remove dirt and smears from glass surfaces, windows and mirrors to leave them looking spotless. And with spring just around the corner, now is a great time to add to your best cleaning products arsenal to get a head start on the spring cleaning.
