The absolute satisfaction of installing semi-frameless or frameless pool fences is achieved only when the glass panes are shining, clear, and glare-free. The main reason behind people opting for glass fences is transparency. It can be achieved only by keeping the fence clean. This involves some fundamental steps, which we have covered here in this post.


MIXING THE GLASS CLEANER

Semi-frameless and frameless glass pool fencing vendors recommend avoiding ammonia-based or harsh chemical-based glass cleaners. Yes, they are certainly better and perform decently, but they are highly toxic and unnecessary for cleaning. Alternatively, You can use a mixture of white vinegar and distilled water to spray on the frameless glass fences and the entire area. Vinegar is safe for your skin and your children and pets.


TAKING CARE OF THE STREAKS

Here also, white vinegar will perform fantastically as it is the enemy of streaks. Tap water is the main reason behind these streaks, as various minerals are present. The spray of diluted vinegar and distilled water will be handy in removing these streaks. The process involves the following steps –

  • Mixing two parts warm water and one part vinegar in a spray bottle

  • Spray the mixture directly on the frameless glass fences

  • Wipe dry with a clean cotton cloth

  • Newspaper is also a beneficial solution in this process

  • Avoid using colored pages and stick to black-and-white newspapers

  • If possible, wear gloves, and if too much spray is there, try removing it with a squeegee first

  • Avoid using paper kitchen towels, as they can also leave streaks on the glass


REMOVING STUBBORN DIRT

Ignoring the cleaning part for a long time will make you witness stubborn dirt on frameless glass fencing. The stubborn dirt can be removed by using a mixture of vinegar and warm water. The process is somewhat different, as you must warm this mixture on a stove. Once the mixture is hot, you can dip a clean cotton cloth to wipe away stubborn marks. Now, you can leave the area as it is for 5 minutes and then hose off with running water. Then, spraying and wiping, as discussed above, is used for a sparkling finish.

In some cases, deeper cleaning is required, and you can again use the mixture and rinse it with water after rubbing the marks thoroughly. All these tricks will keep your semi-frameless and frameless glass fences shining like new and free from streaks.
