Secondary glazing is an excellent way to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and beauty. However, as time goes by, it can become cloudy, dirty, and difficult to maintain. If you want to keep your secondary glazing looking its best, here are some tips on how to clean it effectively:
- Gather the necessary supplies. You will need a bucket of warm water, a squeegee, a microfiber cloth, a soft-bristled brush, and some dish soap or rubbing alcohol.
- Remove any debris from the glazing. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away any dirt, dust, or cobwebs that have accumulated on the surface.
- Fill the bucket with warm water and add some dish soap or rubbing alcohol. Dip your squeegee into the solution and start wiping down the glazing in a horizontal motion.
- Use the microfiber cloth to dry the glazing thoroughly. Avoid using paper towels, as they can leave behind lint and streaks.
- Repeat the process if necessary. If you don’t see all the dirt and grime coming off the glazing, give it another round of cleaning.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your secondary glazing looking like new and brighten up your home. Remember to clean your glazing regularly to prevent dirt and grime from building up over time.
