Cleaning Glass

Your enclosure can provide years of service and beauty with a minimum of care and maintenance. Cleaning your enclosure safely and effectively takes the right cleaner. With minimum maintenance and the right cleaner your bath enclosure should provide you with years of beautiful service.

The key is to understand what types of cleaners to use and to avoid. Many cleaners labeled for use in bathrooms can damage the metal finish or scratch the glass of an enclosure.   The use of abrasive cleaning solutions and/or scrapers of any kind are never recommended.  A short list of cleaning agents that should be avoided because they either damage the metal or scratch the enclosure surface includes:

• Vinegar or vinegar based products
• Abrasive or soft abrasive powders and liquids
• Steel or Teflon pads

Ridgefield Glass is also proud to offer ClearShield®, a proprietary Teflon coating which greatly reduces the effort required to clean the glass surface.

ClearShield Glass is a unique and higher quality of glass, keeping its promise of visibility, clarity, and cleanliness. It works much like "non-stick" cookware. It is much easier to clean and keep clean because it resists staining and discoloration. ClearShield is ideal for shower enclosures and sandblasted glass. It is environmentally friendly so it can be applied in the field and it is backed by a five (5) year warranty.
