How do we remove typical construction debris like adhesive, cement splatter, caulking, etc. off of glass?
Scrapers can be used to remove the following items as long as the glass is not defective, containing fabricating debris and glass fines:- plaster
- taping mud
- paint
- texture
- tape
- stickers
Using a razor blade on cement will scratch glass. You cannot push or drag cement material across glass without it scratching. Chemical use is required.
Chemical Use: Cement splatter can be loosened and safely removed from glass with the aid of chemicals. We use Titan Laboratory's "MDR-B" Mineral Deposit Remover. Another product we use is called Oil Flo. It is a safety solvent cleaner also manufactured by Titan Laboratories. It is a specialized product for removing debris such as:
- gum
- candle wax
- silicon caulk
- roof tar
- asphalt
- tar
- oils
- tree pitch
- mortar
- adhesive stickers
- stucco

Silicone Caulking
Removing silicone caulk from windows can be a very time consuming and tedious process. At most post construction window cleaning job sites, window installers leave silicone caulk on glass in the form of smears, finger prints, and globs. Oil Flo once again is our go-to product. Trying to remove these marks with a glass scraper, steel or copper wool pads, white nylon pads, just smears the caulking and does not effectively remove silicone from glass.Our post construction services cater to:
- Retail Storefronts and Entire Shopping Centers
- Restaurants
- Multi-Location Chain Stores
- Car Dealerships
- Office Buildings, Medical Parks, Hotels, Airports, and Schools
- Apartments, Townhomes, and Condos
- Industrial Facilities
- Entrance areas
- Building foundations
- Parking lots and decks
- Sidewalks and walkways
- Dumpster pad and area cleaning
- Loading docks
- Drive-Through areas
- Gum and Graffiti removal

Tips For Protecting Your Glass During Construction
- Leave the glass installation till as late as possible in the process.
- Leave protective plastic coatings on the glass till the construction is finished.
- If there is no plastic cover then find a way to shield the glass.
- Make sure care is taken by the glazier when installing the glass.
- Care taken by tradesmen and other workers when working around the glass so as not to spray it with debris, bump it or cause other damage.
- Most scratches on glass occur from existing tradesmen on the job.
