needs it, wet-clean by spraying Blue Juice
lightly and evenly and then wiping dry.
When we say lightly, we mean lightly.
Besides taking more time to clean the
glass when you overspray with Blue Juice,
you can also cause damage if moisture
reaches the bottom of the frame and is
wicked up into the art behind the glass.
In fact, you could ruin it! Spray lightly!
Wipe it really dry, not just until it looks
dry. The difference equals a streak: Glass
begins to look clean as you're wiping it
even though it's still slightly wet with
Blue Juice. Wipe until it's completely dry.
Trust us.
Wipe in broad movements, taking care to
wipe the corners as well. Don't wipe in small circles or random
excursions. Also, stabilize the frame with one hand—firmly, don't
be halfhearted—while you wipe with the other. If you don't
stabilize it, it may fall or leave scratches on the wall from the
frame jiggling as you clean it. Don’t push your luck, o.k.?
The world is full of people who can do a slow and mediocre job
of cleaning glass. We want your goals to be higher, and one of
the things that makes the greatest difference is checking your
work. If you look head on into the glass, you will see a reflection
of your own sweet face but you may miss 80 percent of the dirt
on the surface. Check it from as narrow an angle as you can.
Once you have cleaned a picture frame or mirror, it probably
won't need a thorough wet-cleaning again for weeks or even
months. Dust it every week or so on the top of the frame and
occasionally even the glass itself.
Wall Marks
As you dust, check the walls for marks and fingerprints. Use Red
Juice on wall marks of all kinds. Before you move to the next
section of the wall, look all the way to the floor (especially when
there is a wood or tile floor) to check for little dried-up spills that
should be wiped away.
