Cleaning Tips
To clean the outside glass surfaces, use a vinegar-based solution (or make your own with 10% vinegar and 90% water) and a squeegee. Or you may use Windex® Glass and Surface Clear (clear liquid) or Sparkle Glass Cleaner (purple liquid). Be generous with the amount of cleaner you apply. Rinse with clear water if streaks remain after cleaning. Do not use brand-name glass cleaners that are ammonia- or alcohol-based. They may leave streaks or produce a film that attracts moisture or dust. If streaks still appear after a thorough cleaning, rinse the glass with clear water. To remove grease or sealant on the glass, use mineral spirits sparingly, and then wash with a vinegar-based cleaning solution.

To remove markings from grease, oil, tape adhesive, crayons or paint, or marks from plastics which may have come in contact with the glass, apply a small amount of a mild abrasive such as Soft Scrub® cleanser (The Clorox Company) to a clean, wet cloth; or apply a solvent such as acetone or mineral spirits to a clean, dry cloth or towel, and rub on the areas of glass that need spot cleaning. Wipe clean using a dry, clean, lint-free towel or cloth. Then clean the glass as mentioned above.

Glass Breakage
For safety reasons and to ensure optimum performance, we strongly advise you to consult a professional for glass replacement. Federal law and most local building codes require the use of tempered glass in doors and other specific applications. Tempered glass can withstand greater impact than ordinary glass, but is sensitive to scratches. Scratches can cause immediate or delayed breakage.

If the glass is tempered, it will break into small, rounded pieces. If tempered glass is broken, it MUST be reglazed or replaced with tempered glass (this is a federal law). If the glass is Impact Resistant, the glass may crack on impact but the interlayer will keep the glass intact.
