Maintenance Tips For Keeping Your Glass Splashbacks Clean

July 21, 2025May 22, 2024 by Adam Blundell

Glass splashbacks are not just a stylish addition to your kitchen; they play a crucial role in protecting your walls from stains and splatters. However, maintaining their pristine look requires proper care. Ensuring they get the right maintenance is vital in keeping your glass kitchen splashbacks in top condition. Follow these expert tips to ensure your splashbacks always look their best.

Use Gentle and Non-Abrasive Products

When it comes to cleaning your glass splashbacks, it’s essential to use the right products. We recommend using warm soapy water or a specially formulated glass cleaner coupled with a soft microfiber cloth. It’s important to avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools such as wire wool or scouring pads, as these can scratch and damage the surface of your splashbacks.

Keep Up With Regular Cleaning

Consistency is key to maintaining the beauty of your glass splashbacks. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of grease and grime. For general maintenance, a quick wipe down at least once a week is sufficient. However, in kitchens where cooking is frequent, consider cleaning the splashback more often. For tougher stains, a solution of warm water and dish soap or a mixture of white wine vinegar and water can be effective.

Clean on Cloudy Days

While sunlight can help you spot dirt and streaks on your splashback, it’s best to tackle cleaning tasks on cloudy days. Direct sunlight can cause the cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leaving behind streaks and potentially staining the glass. Cleaning without the interference of sunlight ensures a streak-free finish.

Clean Up Spills and Splashes as They Occur

To prevent permanent stains and keep your splashback looking new, address spills and splashes immediately. Allowing substances like oil or tomato sauce to sit can make them harder to remove and might even damage the glass’s aesthetic.

What Our Customers Say

Andrew Cooke

Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

Kiron Kular

A massive Thankyou to Helen from Express Toughening for being so patient, co-operative and helpful with my orders. She resolved a re-make without any fuss and in an extremely timely manner. If you want glass – go to Express Toughening and ask for Helen!

Andy Beviere

Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Brian White

I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

David Convery

4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

Tony Owen

Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

Thank you!
