Tempered glass has become one of the commonly used materials in modern furniture. Relatively speaking, tempered glass has the advantages of being wear-resistant and easy to clean. Coupled with its smooth and fine surface, it is deeply favored by the public. However, if it is not well maintained during use, tempered glass furniture will not be able to retain its original luster.
Suzhou tempered glass manufacturers share five maintenance tips
1. In smaller rooms, tempered glass furniture is more suitable. Due to the transparency of glass, it can reduce the sense of oppression in the space. In the past, people always thought that tempered glass furniture made people feel uncomfortable. Nowadays, glass materials especially used for home decoration have not only made breakthroughs in thickness and transparency, making furniture made of glass both functional and practical, but also infused artistic effects into the production process, enabling glass furniture to not only fulfill the practicality of furniture but also have the effect of decorating and beautifying the living space.
2. When the flat glass is heated close to its softening point and then rapidly cooled on the surface, the compressive stress is distributed on the surface of the glass, while the tensile stress is in the central layer. Due to the strong and uniform compressive stress, the tensile stress generated by the external pressure is offset by the powerful compressive stress of the glass, increasing the service life of the glass. The strength of tempered glass is approximately five times that of ordinary glass. When glass is broken by external force, it turns into particles the size of beans, reducing the harm to the human body.
3. Do not forcefully bump the glass surface in daily life. To prevent the glass surface from being scratched, it is better to lay a tablecloth on it. When placing items on glass furniture, handle them gently and avoid any collision. For daily cleaning, simply wipe with a damp towel or newspaper. If there are stains, you can use a towel dipped in beer or warm vinegar to remove them. You can also use glass cleaners available on the market. Avoid using solutions with strong acidity or alkalinity for cleaning. In winter, the surface of glass is prone to frost. You can wipe it with a cloth dipped in concentrated salt water or white wine, and the effect is very good. Once patterned frosted glass gets dirty, you can use a toothbrush dipped in detergent to wipe it in circular motions along the pattern to remove the dirt.
4. Glass furniture is better placed in a relatively fixed location and should not be moved back and forth at will. Objects should be placed steadily. Heavy objects should be placed at the bottom of glass furniture to prevent the furniture from toppling over due to an unstable center of gravity. In addition, it should be kept away from moisture, stoves and isolated from chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis to prevent corrosion and deterioration. In addition, you can also drop a few drops of kerosene on the glass or apply a mixture of chalk dust and gypsum powder dipped in water on the glass to dry, and then wipe it with a clean cloth or cotton. In this way, the glass will be both clean and bright.
5. Using cling film and a damp cloth sprayed with detergent can also give glass that is often covered with oil stains a "new life". First, spray the cleaner on various aspects of the glass, then cover it with cling film to soften the solidified oil stains. After ten days, remove the cling film and wipe it with a damp cloth. To keep the glass clean and bright, it is necessary to clean it frequently by hand. If there are pen marks on the glass, you can rub them with an eraser soaked in water and then wipe them with a damp cloth. If there is paint on the glass, you can wipe it with cotton dipped in hot vinegar. Wipe the glass with a clean dry cloth dipped in alcohol to make it as bright as crystal.
