Your new purchase has been factory coated with an extremely durable water and oil repelling glass coating that provides for a protective layer that resists permanent staining; discoloration and the permanent damage of lime scale build-up on glass and makes cleaning much easier.
By following the care instructions, the Nanokote coating will provide for many years of easy to clean surfaces.
Squeegee the treated surface after each use and once per fortnight wipe down the glass with a damp microfiber cloth or Enjo mitt (or similar) in conjunction with a citric cleaner (beware of marble or limestone and other acid sensitive surfaces). For best results, allow the liquid cleaner to sit on the surface for a few minutes prior to using the cloth/mitt. By allowing the cleaning solution so sit on the surface it helps dissolve contaminants on the coated surface facilitating easy, fast removal of dirt, soap scum, and hard water build-ups.
The need to use harsh cleaners or toxic chemicals is no longer necessary to maintain the pristine appearance of your treated surface. When cleaning your treated surface you must not use aggressive (especially highly alkaline chemicals such as bleach) or abrasive cleaners. This will void the warranty.
For areas with exceptionally hard water, high silica levels or bore water, more regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth and an acidic cleaner will be necessary. Also, it may be necessary to allow the vinegar solution or citric cleaner to sit on the surface for longer than a few minutes prior to using the cloth/mitt.
