STAIN REMOVAL CLEAN
The process of removing stains from glass caused by hard water mineral deposits, pre-cast run off, oxidation, and acts of man.
THE STORY OF WHEN SILICA MEETS SILICATEOnce upon a time there was a very attractive mineral called Silica
that lived in a glass house.
Along side of her living in a house of concrete was a handsome, gritty, mineral brute called Silicate.
Silicate spend much time watching Silica from a far and longed to be with her. So, one day, when it rained very hard he ran off of his concrete home and slid on to the smooth glass house where Silica was.
When Silica and Silicate saw one another they were instantly attracted to one another creating an inseparable bond.

There Are Many Reasons For Scratches On Glass:
1. Jobsite Practices Caused by Subcontractors:
-Workers putting ladders and equipment against glass
-Plasterers wiping plaster off glass
-Welders grinding steel rails in area of glass
-Masons smearing mortar of glass
-Tile contractors wiping tile grout off of glass
-Scraping excess texture off a dry window
2. UNQUALIFIED WINDOW CLEANING COMPANIES USING INEXPERIENCED WINDOW
CLEANERS
Inappropriate tools and techniques:
- Scraping a dry window- Moving razors or broad knives backwards on glass- Rusty razors or broad knives- Not using chemicals to loosen excessive plaster or cement from window.
3. SCRATCHES COMING FROM GLASS MANUFACTURING
- Blemishes on tempered glass surfaces – small pimples on the glass possibly caused by dirty furnace rollers, dirty furnace conditions or not cleaning glass prior to entering the tempering furnace.
