Maintaining and Cleaning Glass Splashbacks: Tips and Tricks

Maintaining and Cleaning Glass Splashbacks in Newcastle

Glass splashbacks are an elegant addition to any modern kitchen, offering a sleek appearance while improving hygiene and simplifying cleaning. With regular use, your glass splashback will inevitably accumulate oil, grease, food and dust.

Fortunately, cleaning a glass splashback and keeping it looking its best is relatively easy. Here at Nova Team, we specialise in glass splashback installations in Newcastle and are here to offer our expert tips and tricks on maintaining a spotless shine.

Remove Loose Dirt and Debris

Start by taking a clean, dry soft cloth or a sponge and removing any loose dust, dirt, food particles and other debris from the glass splashback surface. This helps prevent any streaking, smudging or scratching as you start cleaning with a wet, soapy sponge.

Mix Up a Gentle Glass Splashback Cleaner Solution

The best way to clean glass splashbacks is by creating a simple, gentle cleaning solution with warm water and a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid. This is really all you need and it’s best to avoid any harsh chemicals that could potentially scratch or damage the surface. Avoid using excess soap, as this can leave streaks. Glass splashbacks are designed to be easily cleaned without any harsh degreasing or other chemical agents, especially with regular upkeep.

Apply the Cleaning Solution

Dip a regular sponge or microfibre cloth into your warm, soapy water mix and wring out the excess water. Gently wipe down the surface of your glass splashback, cover the entire area as well as any corners and edges. For tough stains, you may need to apply a bit more pressure. Rub in a circular motion until any stubborn stains loosen.

Rinse and Dry

Once you’ve finished cleaning a glass splashback, wash out your sponge or cloth in clean water and wipe over it again to remove any soap. This helps prevents streaks and water spots from forming. You can use a squeegee or a clean, dry cloth to wipe away any excess water and restore that sleek, glossy, clean glass splashback surface.

Buff to a Shine

To finish the process, take a dry microfibre cloth and wipe down the surface to buff it into a shine. If required, you can use a special glass splashback cleaner or regular glass cleaner spray to help achieve an seamless, streak-free appearance. Make sure to opt for a streak-free, non-abrasive product.

Maintenance Tips for a Clean Glass Splashback

In addition to regular cleaning, you can keep glass splashbacks in your kitchen looking their best by cleaning up splashes, spills and stains as soon as they happen. The surface can get harder to clean when these stains are left above cooktops in particular, as the heat from cooking can harden and bake them in.
