Ammonia free glass cleaner

[Marco Buonocore]

I'm looking for an ammonia free glass cleaner that is also fragrance free. Does anyone know of one?

I prefer the pressurized cans; I find they do a better job than the normal spray bottles.

I would be using this to clean UV and museum glass.

Thanks!

White vinegar and rubbing alcohol make good glass cleaners. Typically those that clean glass for a living use one or the other because they are cheap and effective. One caution no glass cleaner should ever be used to clean optical glass. Only those products designed specifically for this purpose should be used.

There is only one product that I know of on the market. ( There may be others, but I'm not aware of them. )

Try "Premium Clean" glass cleaner by "True Vue". We use it exclusively on all glass products particularly Museum Glass etc.

Thanks Paul, it looks like the True Vue product is the way to go. I'll have to order some and compare it to the canned stuff I've been using. It works fine, I just loathe the fragrance!

I use Sprayway ammonia free glass cleaner on ordinary glass, but have no experience with UV or museum glass. It seems more effective than other glass cleaners.

You never want to use ammonia based cleaners on any framing glass or acrylic because the ammonia can cause damage to the artwork. For all glass except Musuem glass we love SprayWay glass cleaner which is available at Walmart and HomeDepot.

When we made this mistake of trying to sell Musuem glass we tried really hard to keep from needing to clean it, and if someone accidentally touched the stuff then we used rubbing alcohol.

Not all AR glass has that problem. We started using Artglass by Groglass. It is more optically pure than Musuem glass, double sided, scratch resistant on both sides, and can be cleaned with regular glass cleaner. The only drawback is the UV filter version is 92% instead of 99% however that helps reduce the color change when using it over paper with high OBA content.

Hello Jim, fdi;

I've used Sprayway, and it does work fine. Only problem is the fragrance - it's the worst of the bunch! On the plus side, is readily available and cheap. Both good things.

I'll have to look at Artglass. I've never heard of that product.

Thanks for the comments.

There are all kinds of suitable brands out there. Just read the label or MSDS sheet carefully. Even different types of coated museum glass have
different requirements. Then acrylic needs something else. I keep a variety of cleaners on hand.

Brillianize is good stuff. In our company testing we found it to fast an easy for basic static removal and cleaning of acrylic so we use it and sell it. I think it is so chemically safe you can drink it but I have not tried that and dont recommend it. If you have actual scratches in the acrylic then you need to go with the separate acrylic polish & clean products.
