Care & Maintenance

Your glass fence is built to last with minimal upkeep. Here's how to keep it looking brand new for years.

Glass Panels

Routine Cleaning (Monthly)

1. Rinse panels with a garden hose to remove loose dirt and debris.
2. Apply a standard glass cleaner or a mix of warm water and a few drops of dish soap.
3. Wipe with a soft cloth, sponge, or squeegee.
4. Rinse and let air dry, or buff with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish.

Deep Cleaning (As Needed)

For hard water stains, calcium buildup, or stubborn marks:

• Use white vinegar (undiluted) applied to a cloth. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then wipe clean.
• For tough mineral deposits, a commercial hard water stain remover designed for glass works well.
• A magic eraser can remove scuff marks — use gently.

Stainless Steel Spigots & Hardware

Routine Care (Every 3–6 Months)

1. Wipe down spigots and hardware with a damp cloth and mild soap.
2. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
3. For a polished finish, apply a small amount of stainless steel cleaner or baby oil on a cloth and buff.

Coastal / Saltwater Environments

If you live near the ocean or have a saltwater pool, clean stainless steel components monthly to prevent salt corrosion:

• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after heavy salt exposure.
• Apply a marine-grade stainless steel protectant quarterly.
• Inspect for any early signs of tea staining (brownish discoloration) — this is cosmetic and can be removed with a stainless steel cleaner.

Silicone Sealant

Check the sealant around spigot base plates annually. If you notice cracking, peeling, or gaps:

1. Remove the old sealant with a utility knife or sealant remover.
2. Clean the area and let it dry.
3. Apply a fresh bead of exterior-grade silicone sealant.
4. Allow 24 hours to cure.

Gate Hardware

• Test the self-closing mechanism monthly — the gate should close and latch from any open position.
• Lubricate hinges with a silicone-based lubricant every 6 months.
• Adjust spring tension if the gate closes too slowly or too forcefully (refer to your gate hardware instructions).

Seasonal Checklist

Season	Tasks
Spring	Full clean of glass and hardware. Check sealant. Test gate.
Summer	Rinse monthly (more often with heavy pool use). Check for splash marks.
