HOW TO CLEAN YOUR STAINED GLASS
Stained glass windows are used and loved because of their amazing ability to filter sunlight and illuminate a room; therefore it is imperative to keep them clean. Cleaning stained glass is not difficult; however, it is important to know how to do it correctly. Remember when cleaning, always start with the least intrusive method and work progressively until you reach your desired result.
1. The first step in the cleaning process should be to use a soft cloth and dust the glass thoroughly.
2. If a film remains, you will need to use water. You want to use distilled water, as it is free of impurities and tap water is not. Soak your soft cloth in the distilled water, and wring it out completely. Gently wipe the surface of your glass to clean it. In order to reach smaller areas and corners, use a moistened cotton swab. A lot of dirt and residue can build up in these hard to reach areas, so it might take some time to really get them clean. When you are finished, wipe with a dry cloth to eliminate streaks.
3. If you still are not happy with the condition of your window, you have one more option. You can use a non-ammonia, non-vinegar glass cleaner or Orvis horse shampoo. Always wet your cloth with the product first, then wipe the window in a circular motion to clean it. Again, you will want to wipe with a dry cloth to get rid of any streaking that might occur.
4. Always keep a smoke free environment! Smoke is a sure way to cloud up your stained glass causing a dull appearance to your windows.
Once your stained glass is cleaned you can truly appreciate it for all the luminescent value it is able to bring into your home. Let the sun shine in and watch your windows come to life! Regular dusting with a soft cloth should be all they need now for many months to come.
