How to Take Care of Frosted Glasses
If you are looking to style your space effortlessly or save energy while protecting your furniture from the intense sun rays, frosted glass is the way to go.
Frosted glass gained popularity in the Middle Ages, for use in windows and doors. Now, you can also use frosted glass as decor pieces, shower doors and privacy screens.
But, to maintain their stunning beauty and avoid chipping, cracking or shattering, you need to take proper care of your frosted glass.
And here is how you do it effectively.
How to Clean Your Frosted Glass
You can clean your frosted glass regularly by following the tips shown in this section below.
Dos
Clean regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime.
Use a mild soap solution for stubborn stains, and rinse thoroughly.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth for cleaning.
Dry the glass with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Don’ts
Don't use abrasive materials, scrub brushes, or sharp tools that may scratch the frosted surface.
Don't use harsh chemicals or ammonia-based cleaners.
Don't apply excessive force or pressure while cleaning.
Don't expose frosted glass to extreme temperature changes.
Also, if your shower has frosted glass and you use hard water, you should remove the excess water after showering to prevent hard water stains from forming.
But if the hard water stains have already formed, you can still clean them effectively using:
White vinegar
Baking Soda
Spray bottle
Non-abrasive sponge
Squeegee
Microfiber cloth
Using Vinegar
In the spray bottle add undiluted white vinegar
Spray onto the frosted glass shower door, covering all the areas with hard water or any other stains
Let it sit for 20 minutes
Scrub the glass gently using a non-abrasive sponge and pay attention to the stained areas
Rinse the glass with warm water and dry using a squeegee or a microfiber cloth
Leave the bathroom door and windows open to air dry the frosted glass too. This ensures that you dry any leftover water spots completely.
Using Baking Soda
You can follow the same steps as cleaning the frosted glass with vinegar by substituting it with baking soda.
Then, mix baking soda and water in a small bowl. But ensure that the consistency is thick enough so that it spreads easily without making a mess.
Next, apply the paste using a clean cloth or non-abrasive sponge directly on the stains and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then scrub gently, and thoroughly rinse and dry to ensure your frosted glass retains its glow.
Frosted Glass Maintenance Tips
To keep the frosted glass looking pristine, here are the maintenance tips you can use:
Handle your frosted glasses with care and avoid sudden drops or rough handling.
Apply a protective coating to help maintain the frosted finish and create a barrier against grime and dirt.
Use a soft, lint-free or microfiber cloth to always wipe any dust and smudges.
How to Store Your Frosted Glass Safely
If you have excess frosted glass lying around, or decor pieces that you are not using, store them in a safe place. The area should be dry, as moisture causes water stains, discoloration, and damage to the frosted finish.
Also, use soft padding or dividers if you are storing many frosted glasses at once. This helps keep them from chipping or scratching by keeping each glass separate.
But if you do not have any soft padding, use a soft cloth instead.
Additionally, store your frosted glass in an area that does not experience temperature fluctuations, as that can cause cracks.
