  • The glass is resistant to most 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
