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.
