Need some help please  Im getting ready to do a home that has a glass top table that I have never seen before. Windex leaves a film and so does soapy water or just plain water. It is a thick glass, kinda smokey color, but clear rough to the touch. I have no idea what to use to clean this. Anyone come across something like this?? Thanks, Linda |

Have you tried just hot water, Is it beveled glass?

why don't you just try to clean it w/ a new microfiber cloth w/ out chemicals? it may take longer but i think it will work. if not... try sprayway glass cleaner (non amoniated) spray it one the cloth first, not the glass. this will not leave a film... good stuff. you should be able to get it at your local janitorial supply store.

I want to say yes, but it is kinda rough to the touch. Plain water makes it filmy looking.

I always use ammonia (1 cup)with car window washer(1 gallon). for glass, I think it works great.

I bought a cleaner called Awesome, I think I am going to try that. It can be used for almost anything, but it has to be diluted for different tasks. Smells real nice too. If this doesn't do the trick I am going to the car window cleaner. That seems to be the answer anyways, lol.
Thanks,
Linda

i've tried Awesome before and it is a good all purpose cleaner. it will deffinately streak your glass, though. looks like someone else goes to the dollar store...lol  |

i just started using their glass and surface cleaner. if you buy on the online dollar store, you can get a can for like 79 cents. it's a 300.00 min. order, though, but they do have a lot of good products i am learning. i go there or online for things like scrubbies, trash liners (scented) (vanilla, wild flower and spring breeze), glass and surface cleaner, comet, bleach and regular glass cleaner. i try new things all the time if they are cheap. i used grease lightning for commercial kitchen restoration a couple of times. it worked pretty good but now i use chlorinated foaming degreaser from a reg. janitorial supply store now. i never go cheap on things like finish, though.

What always worked for me was 2 step:
1. Saturate with your all purpose; overspray lightly with your degreaser. Clean and dry.
2. Saturate with diluted rubbing alcohol; use your glass rag to rub dry.

What you discribe is etched glass. non ammonia glass cleaner works well for cleaning etched glass.

Maybe you can buy her some coasters, that can be placed on rings of the damaged table. |
