The Process Of Cleaning Stained Glass

Now let us begin cleaning those stained glasses and windows in your house to make them look much better.

Step 1

Spray the entire glass down with bleach and let it sit for 5 minutes. If you see that the bleach is starting to dry up you can go ahead and use a sponge and wipe the glass down with the soft side of the sponge so you won’t scrape anything.

Step 2

Mix 1 cup of vinegar with two tablespoons of dawn dish soap in a bowl of warm water. Wash out the sponge you used before with fresh water and dip it in the mixture you just made. Find areas on the glass that the stain is located and use the sponge to scrub the area. Once you see the stain is gone from that area you can go ahead and give the glass the next wash down with the cleaning solution you just made.

Step 3

Use a microfiber cleaning cloth to wipe down the glass and check to see if you miss any spots. If you see that you miss any spots, you can use some rubbing alcohol to spray over the entire glass, especially on the areas that have stains or had stains. If the stain is still present, you can use some hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and spray it on the area and give it the next scrub.

Step 4

Give the glass a proper wash or wipe down now and let it dry. Adding some rubbing alcohol to the water you will use to wash or wipe the glass down will stop any streaking from forming.
