Glass is one of the most popular choices when it comes to pool fencing. Not only is it visually appealing to the eye, but it’s also an affordable option. It boasts a range of benefits over other fencing materials, including being easy to clean and non-corrosive. Glass fencing also allows for your view to be maintained, making it easier to keep an eye on the kids in the pool or simply admire your outdoor area.
To ensure your glass pool fencing continues looking its best, it’s important to keep it clean and well maintained. Read on to find out some helpful tips to care for glass fencing.
Clean Regularly
It’s essential to regularly clean your glass pool fencing every four to six months, although this can vary depending on where you live and how exposed the glass is to the natural elements. Use a hose to lightly rinse the glass and then use a rag or a piece of scrunched up newspaper to remove any build-up. These materials are effective and abrasive but won’t cause scratches. After you’ve removed all dirt and debris, use a sponge and warm, soapy water to clean the glass. Finish with a microfibre cloth that prevents streaks.
Avoid Using Harsh Glass Cleaners
When cleaning your glass pool fencing, it’s important to stay away from harsh glass cleaners that could damage the fencing components. For tough ground-in bore or calcium stains, use gentle products that are specifically designed for glass and granite cleaning. It’s also essential to ensure there isn’t any sand or dirt on the glass when cleaning, as this can cause damage. You can remove sand and dirt by simply hosing it down with clean water.
Apply a Protective Coating on the Glass
Finally, it’s important to apply a protective coating on your glass pool fence. This will help prevent dust and dirt from accumulating and keep the glass looking cleaner for longer. You should apply a coating once a year to ensure your glass pool fencing always looks clean and impressive.
