Glass can get dirty, especially during the construction of a building! But care must be taken when
cleaning – it scratches easier than some might think.
Corrosive contamination must be avoided at all times, especially from plaster, mortar, concrete and
cement slurry, all of which are alkaline and therefore capable of corroding the glass surface. Any such
impurities must be washed off the glass immediately. Rinse with plenty of clean water to avoid
scratching the surface. Use a soft clean sponge, cloth or chamois. Do not try to remove impurities
while the glass is dry. Never use sharp objects, such as scrapers, to clean the glass.1
To protect the glass during construction, Dolphin recommend covering installed glass with sheets of
plastic film.
The other teams working on the project should also be informed about handling the glass properly.
When cleaning the mirror, the edges must always be dried quickly and thoroughly.
Dolphin Alavo mirrors can be cleaned with clean water only
