Glass and mirrors

• To clean, lightly spray the face of the glass or mirror with a reputable brand of glass cleaner, following the manufacturer’s on pack instructions.
• Alternatively, add a few drops of methylated spirits to a clean, nonabrasive damp cloth then wipe the glass or mirror. Buff with a clean lint free cloth for a streak free finish.
• Moisture, and particularly liquid chemical cleaners, should be kept away from the back and edges of mirrors. If unavoidable ensure that you dry any residue immediately.
• Eucalyptus oil, allowed to penetrate, will assist the removal of adhesive labels.
• Diamond rings should not be worn when cleaning glass or mirrors. Toughened safety glass is subject to breakage from scratches.
