Cleaning / Maintenance

The following information is appropriate for all glass constructions installed by MEDIK. During the cleaning of glass surfaces, it is important to use much clean water to avoid scratches by dirt particles

  • Use a soft, clean sponge, leather or cloth
  • The effect of cleaning can be supported by using a neutral detergent or a typical glass cleaner
  • The glass is resistant against most of the commonly used detergents
  • Do not use sharp metal items for cleaning the surface of the glass construction can cause scratches on the surface
  • The use of mobile polishing units for repairing surface damages will cause major defects in the surface and can negatively affect the stability of the glass. If using this type of device, the safety of the glass cannot be guaranteed
  • Glass can generally be cleaned with regular detergents
  • Chemicals based on alkaline leaches, acids or fluoride-containing substances may not be used. These can affect the surface of glass permanently

Recommended cleaning procedure

  • Our recommendation are products from Bode like Mikrobac forte or Dismozon pur
  • Please no dry cleaning!
  • Spray plenty of water onto the Glass to loosen hard, abrasive particles
  • Clean cloths regularly to avoid scratches
  • Dry the surface with a dry, clean cloth
  • Clean the surface with a regular detergent and rinse with plain water
  • Film of the detergent can be removed with a clean, dry cotton cloth
