Viewing glass

What do u clean the glass with to get the crap off. I used to have a bottle of stuff a customer gave me. I moved and now it’s gone. And my customer is no longer around to ask what it was.

 

This works well for me.

 

A wet piece of news print dipped in wood ash from the stove. Rub a little and clean with a dry piece of np and use the np to get the stove started again. Not sure about you or any one else's stove but my Jotul manual says not to use any type of amonia based glass cleaner on the glass.

 

I use a small piece of damp paper towel and stove ash. It works better than anything else I have found.

 

And another vote for damp newspaper and ashes. Along with good old-fashioned elbow grease.

 

Another vote for damp newspaper and ash with paper towel for the final wipe. Truth be told, as time goes on I personally care less and less about a perfectly clean piece of glass and just use the stove as a means of heat, not a pretty thing to look at.

 

I've never needed anything more than a wet paper towel.
I had a little crusty build up in the corners once from a long time between wiping it down and a little ash did help.
Stove is in the basement so I don't clean the glass every day, plus we burn fairly well seasoned wood so it's usually a thin grey film rather than crusty black stuff.

 

Windex. To keep it clear it needs to be cleaned every time a fire is started. As long as the stove is cold.

 

Haven't cleaned mine at all this season. When I do it's newspaper and ash.

 

A razor blade works great. No you won't scratch it.

 

About every 4-6 weeks is perfect for my schedule

 

Newspaper and ash. I picked this tip up here. For years my glass was black as asphalt. I tried this tip and , well ".......IT WORKS. I cound not believe it. First time in years I could see through it.

 

A rag or paper towel and ash. Usually clean it once a week.

 

That’s about my schedule as well. First time it got cleaned. It wasn,t perfect since it was so bad.
After cleaning it a couple times it is completely clear. It works amazingly well

 

Do you shut yours down low at night? That seems to be where 90% of my buildup comes from.

 

Best product is “Dirtex” a little spray on the glass, wipe with paper towel and clean as new. No downside, professional painters use it for glass cleaner. Just me but I would never use a metal razor blade on glass. I’ve seen up close and personal the damage that can do to glass surfaces.

 

Are you sure it wasn't the operator?
