Glass staircase balustrades give homes the up-to-date look that most homeowners are currently on the lookout for. But the glass used for the balustrades needs to be kept clean in order to radiate the visual qualities that glass material is well-known for and will ensure that the elegant look of a glass staircase balustrade is maintained.

The following tips will help ensure that the glass staircase balustrades in your home stay clean and look great.

Clean glass with soft squeegee and mild cleaning solution

One of the most effective ways to ensure that your glass staircase balustrades remain clean is to practice the habit of cleaning it on a frequent basis. Dip a clean, non-abrasive squeegee in warm, mildly soapy water and gently wipe the surface of the glass with the squeegee to rid it of any loose dust or dirt. The water that comes straight out of your taps should be filtered to remove any minerals that might leave behind residue on your glass balustrades.

Alternatively, you can use a manufacturer-recommended cleaning solution. Once the glass surface looks clean, rinse it with clean water and then dry it with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Add lemon juice

When faced with tough glass stains, many people turn to quick solutions. Do not use highly acidic glass polish to achieve a better clean, as you will not only risk corroding your glass staircase balustrades but you also expose yourself to skin and eye injuries.

Instead, add a small amount of lemon juice to the cleaning solution, as the juice is suitably acidic to allow for safe removal of tough stains without leading to glass corrosion.

Use dirt-repellent products

In order to maintain a good shine, you should apply a dirt-repelling product to your spotlessly clean glass balustrades. This product will create a non-stick coating that protects glass from damage caused by water stains, scale, scum, air pollutants and other unwanted material, meaning glass will demand much less maintenance. Applying a dirt-repellent product will eliminate the need to use abrasive methods such as scrubbing, scraping or highly concentrated chemical cleaners required to remove the foreign material from the surface of the glass.

If you adhere to the above-elaborated tips, you should not have a problem keeping your glass balustrades looking enviable throughout the year. You can contact your glass staircase balustrade manufacturer in case you need more information regarding cleaning tips for their products.
