Steps to clean your glass pool fencing in Broadbeach

There are many different types of materials that can be used for pool fencing. Aluminium, vinyl and wood are all common options but they wear quickly over time, becoming discoloured and fragile. Glass pool fencing in the Broadbeach area is one of the favourite fencing options among swimming pool owners. It is much easier to clean than other materials, it blends in beautifully with your garden, you will hardly notice it and it allows you to see through it and check that nobody has accidently entered the pool.

The cleaning of this kind of fencing is very quick and straightforward once you know what to do. Here are the steps you need to follow in order to clean your pool fencing around the Surfers Paradise area and beyond.

1. Choose the right cleaning products

You should stay away from using traditional glass cleaners that are usually used when cleaning windows in households. These types of cleaners will leave residual marks on your glass pool fencing, making it look shabby and not clean at all. It is more effective to use normal liquid soap diluted in some water for this task.

2. Cleaning

Although probably you think that it could be better to hire someone to do this job, think that it is a very simple task and the amount of money you could save over time. All you need are some products that you may already have at home and some spare time to do it. Mix a solution of warm water and liquid soap (the type of soap that you would use for washing dishes and saucepans). Use a basic sponge to apply the soap thoroughly, making sure you wipe all of the parts, back and front. The process is very similar to what you would be doing when washing your dishes. Once you have comprehensively applied the soap, allow it to sit for about an hour before rinsing it off with water. You can use a hose to make this process quicker or buckets of water if you don’t have a hose.

3. Finishing touches

There is no need to dry it using a cloth as this may leave streaks on the glass. Instead, let it dry naturally. If there are frames on the glass fencing, simply grab a cloth and some of the warm water solution and wipe clean, focusing on any particularly stubborn spots. A microfiber cloth can be useful to get off these tough marks, as it is not abrasive and has a very soft texture.
