Sliding glass doors are often used to separate indoor and outdoor areas, adding a feeling of openness to the home. However, the glass can quickly become grimy with fingerprints, dirt, and debris, making it hard to see through. Thankfully, there are a few simple steps that you can take to make sure your sliding glass doors look like new again.
Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
The first step to cleaning your sliding glass doors is to gather your supplies. You’ll need a bucket, warm water, mild dish soap, a sponge, a squeegee, a microfiber cloth, and a glass cleaner. You may also want to have a vacuum and/or steamer handy for deeper cleaning.
Clean the Tracks
Before you begin cleaning the glass, it’s important to remove any dirt, debris, and cobwebs from the tracks. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove any dirt and debris. You may also want to use a steamer to remove any stubborn dirt and grime. Once you’ve finished cleaning the tracks, wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dust or dirt.
Wash the Glass
Fill your bucket with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Dip your sponge in the soapy water and use it to wipe down the glass. Be sure to get into all of the corners and edges. Once you’ve washed the glass, use a squeegee to remove the water. Finally, use a microfiber cloth to dry the glass and remove any streaks.
Polish the Glass
Once you’ve finished cleaning the glass, it’s time to give it a final polish. Spray a glass cleaner onto a microfiber cloth and use it to buff the glass. This will remove any remaining streaks and give the glass a nice shine. Finally, use a dry microfiber cloth to dry the glass and remove any excess cleaner.
Conclusion
Cleaning sliding glass doors doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily make sure your doors look like new again. With a little bit of patience and elbow grease, your sliding glass doors will look sparkling clean in no time.
