Cleaning
How do I clean TruVue glass products?
All of TruVue glass products are clean and ready to use out of the box. If spot cleaning is needed, spray a small amount of ammonia-free glass cleaner such as our Opti-Bright on a micro-fiber cloth or a clean lint-free cotton rag. To prevent overspray, do not spray the cleaner directly on the glass. Press the cloth against the glass and clean in a round, circular motions.
Why does TruVue recommend using an ammonia-free glass cleaner?
Cleaning glass products with harsh chemicals such as ammonia can be harmful to your customers’ valued pieces. Ammonia can cause out-gassing within the framing package.
How can I remove the inkjet printing from the sheet of glass?
The inkjet printing is printed at the very edge of the lite of glass and is small enough to be hidden by the rebate of the frame. If you choose to remove the inkjet printing, apply a small amount of acetone (fingernail polish remover) to a cotton swap to wipe the sheet clean.
Cutting
Handling
How should glass be handled?
Care should be given when handling glass. To avoid injury, Tru Vue recommends wearing cotton gloves when handling glass. Avoid dragging the sheets of glass against one another when removing from the box. Do not slide the sheet of glass into place. Lift it up to adjust and reposition.
