Sand-blasted Glass
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a problem which I would like you to help solve. I have a lovely new home, but there is just one disappointment. My husband has recently finished the last little bit-double sand-blasted glass doors, from the entrance hall to the lounge. But my 3-year-old son will keep putting finger-prints all over them, also my husband marked them a little when putting them in. Could you please tell me how to get the marks off? Can I clean them with ordinary window cleaner? Will that mark worse or is there something else I don’t know about? "Patricia," Avondale. I asked "over the air’ about your problem with the marks on. your sandblasted glass doors, and, as usual, help was immediately forthcoming. A tradesman rang to tell me what to do. First wipe over the glass with a rag well dampened with mineral turps. This will remove, or loosen, the greasiness. Then rub over with a rag dipped in dry flour, while the glass is still damp with the mineral turps. Let it dry a few minutes, then wipe it all over with a clean soft rag. It is best to do a small piece at a time, not the whole door.
