RE: [World] How to clean frosted glass??

["Mark Ahlich" <addressis@removed>]

Hi, I clean those frosted panes with purified water. I buy 2-3 gallons for a 
few bucks, dump it in a clean bucket.  Then I scrub normally with strip 
washer and squeegee with a Sorbo squeegee with the rubber on 2nd nocth.  
Then I quickly towel dry.  The reason for plain water is that there is 
usually (sometimes years and many applications) windex or some such stuff 
that people have used previously attempting to clean the panes. The plain 
water breaks that old stuff down (emulsfies it).  Tap water will work okay 
to, if you use warmer plain water that seems to break down the old stuff 
caught in those 1000s of pores.  Result is more light will pass through and 
the smoothe side of pane will look more shiny. I use the blue surgical 
towels that have been washed and dried several times so that they absorb 
water better. Be sure to have enough towels so that you have dry ones for 
the whole job.  When I walk a job like that, I share with the potential 
customer the exact process, explaining it is the best way and a bit more 
costly.
