What do I clean my Harvey Windows with?
Airborne dirt, dust, smoke, salt spray, etc. can usually be removed by using a mild detergent and warm water solution with a soft rag or brush. Grease, oil, or other industrial solids that have built up for some time, may require stronger solutions such as Mr. Clean, Soft Scrub, isopropyl alcohol (denatured or rubbing alcohol), or lacquer thinner.
Other cleaning agents that work well:
- Mineral Spirits
- Naphtha Solvents
- Lanolin Cleaners
CAUTION:
The use of sandpaper, razor blades, steel wool, or emery paper will leave fine scratches on the vinyl surface and could be damaging. To avoid damage to the vinyl, sample test an inconspicuous area with the cleaning solution and method of your choice.
Cleaning Glass Products:
If glass residue is still evident after using glass cleaner, apply mild soap, mild detergent, mineral spirits, or naphtha solvents to glass by either spraying or using a clean, grit-free cloth or sponge. Rinse the glass surface immediately with clean water, removing the cleaning solution from the glass surface. Using a squeegee or clean, lint-free dry cloth, remove the water from the glass surface.
CAUTION:
When using solvents, be careful not to damage glazing or insulating unit seals by overgenerous application of solvent. In addition, comply with solvent manufacturer's directions on label for toxicity, handling, and flammability warnings.
