Cleaning the glass
To wash the glass:
1. Use a premixed vinegar-based cleaning solution (or make your own with one part white vinegar to 10 parts water), and apply to a
soft, clean, lint-free microfiber cloth or paper towel. Or you may use an ammonia-free glass cleaner such as Windex
Sparkle ® (purple liquid). Feel free to be generous with the amount of cleaner you apply, but avoid getting any cleaning solution on
the vinyl frames as it may discolor the finish.
2. Rub from several different directions.
3. Rinse with clear water if streaks remain after cleaning.
CaUtiOn: Do not use glass cleaners that are ammonia- or alcohol-based. they may leave streaks or produce a film that attracts moisture or dust.
