Cleaning Paint off Glass

Have you ever moved into an apartment that was just painted and realize the window is covered with specs of paint? It may also be that you painted a section of your home and didn’t realize droplets of paint flew off the roller onto a mirror, glass table, or window pane.

These types of situations were not intentional yet are not a serious problem. Chances are the painters were in a hurry or were getting paid so little they didn’t worry much about cleaning up.

Either way, there’s no need to worry because pain on any type of class can be removed completely but requires careful precision.

What you’ll need: a flat edge razor blade, clean cloth, soap and water, work gloves,

Steps:

1. Examine the glass you are about to remove paint from. Does it have any special indentations, designs, or relief work that could be ruined or scratched if touched with a razor?
2. Wipe down the area to see if the paint will come off on its own.
3. Take out your razor blade and hold it gently to the glass where paint drops exist.
4. Without pressing down hard tilt the blade so the top is almost at a forty degree angle.
5. Gentle scrape the bits of dried paint on the glass section by section.
6. When the paint comes off wipe the blade with a cloth. NOTE: some of the paint may stick to the blade and some to the widow even though it is no longer permanently on the glass.
7. Once it seems like all the paint has been removed wash down the area on the window with soap and water.
8. Allow to dry and look carefully at the glass. Do you see any residue? If so repeat the previous steps.
9. Dispose of the rag in a safe place lest the dried paint fall on floors, rugs, or other areas where it will be more difficult to remove.
