7 Steps To A Clean Apartment Sliding Glass Door

Notify your neighbours that may live below you that you will be cleaning your apartments sliding glass door. Soapy runoff may drip down the side of the building.
Wet the entire surface with a rag drenched in soap and water. This will help loosen stuck-on dirt deposits. Be sure and do one side at a time.
Wipe off the soap solution with paper towels or a clean cloth after it has been on the glass for several minutes.
Apply a mild window washing solution. Be sure and use a non-abrasive applicator, like a sponge or microfiber cloth. When you are applying the solution start at the top and work your way down.
Remove the cleaning solution using a squeegee immediately after the entire sliding glass door has been covered with the solution. Don’t let the solution dry onto the glass, and be sure and continue working from top to bottom.
Dry any items around the sliding glass door that got wet, however do not dry the sliding glass door itself. The door should already be relatively dry from the squeegee and any remaining liquid should be left to air-dry.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 on the other side of the sliding glass door.

While Brisbane is one of Australia's most beautiful cities with a tropical climate and beautiful scenery, as experts in Brisbane Glass repair, we encounter on an almost daily basis do-it-yourself disasters when novice glass folk try to fix their sliding glass doors or windows by themselves. Sliding glass doors and windows provide a beautiful outdoorsy view and provide natural lighting to your home. One of the first parts of a house that tends to wear off the sliding glass doors because they fall victim to Qld's extreme weather conditions.(Learn more about our Brisbane Glass sliding glass door and window repair services (including sliding door and window glass replacement) or contact us for a free estimate at 3376 5575.

FIVE reasons why not to do sliding glass door and window repairs yourself

Transportation- Most sliding glass doors and windows in the Brisbane area are quite large and can’t be transported safely by your average car. Although a truck could suffice, you need to keep in mind that the glass must be attached properly on the vehicle to avoid any damage to the doors.
Tools and Equipment- A rubber mallet, putty knife, heavy-duty drills, suction cups, rubber gaskets, and other basic tools are needed in order to replace a sliding glass door. Depending on the size of the glass additional tools might be needed to get the job done properly. Learning how to repair a sliding glass door or window is, of course, more than just the tools and equipment.
Time-If you have no experience on sliding glass door repairs you might want to think about the amount of time it will take you to get the new sliding glass door up and running. You might want to ask yourself how valuable is your own time. (Note: when calculating the cost of sliding glass door or window repairs, many people forget their own time has value and that “time is money,” as they say).
Experience & Skill-In order to replace a sliding glass door or window one must be a skilled handy man and able to handle the strenuous physical activity and weight of carrying the glass and mounting it.
Safety- Without proper safety precautions, sliding glass door repairs could be very dangerous. Dealing with broken glass and mishandling the new glass could lead to many injuries. Sometimes its better to put a risky task in the hands of a professional.

Shower screen CLEAN

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:05:00 +0000

One of the most common questions we are asked, at Brisbane Glass, that is not directly associated with the business is ... " What is the best cleaner for the glass in the shower screen".

Unfortunately the majority of those inquiring are asking too late and after the build up on the glass has reached the point of no return. ( see photos ) The build up of water, dirt and soap spots, if not attended to regularly and appropriately become so much that it just can't be removed in full .

Worst Case of soap buildup ..

So here it is ... to keep your glass looking for longer and more often, like the day it was new and unused.... definitely the best and easiest and most cost effective method.

1. Firstly you must start immediately from day one or as close as you can to this day.
2. Buy a good flat, small and simple glass water squeegee.
3. Then begin with every person using the shower, on everyday immediately after use, to squeegee
OFF the water and soap thoroughly. This takes about 60 seconds to do .
4. Lastly clean glass monthly with a good all- purpose cleaner.

SO there it is ... I hope this helps ..... ⊙_⊙

Life Train - Jump On

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 06:57:00 +0000

The worlds population today is some where over 7 billion and yet only a small percentage create and live a life that the rest and the majority wish that they too could have. Within this small group are those that continually accomplish more and more as their lives go on, while others seem to reach a peak and never rise from that point again.

We must remind ourselves that, yes , life will choose WHAT challenges we will go through but it is you and only you who is able to choose HOW you go through these . Theses challenges will be many and varied, of positive and negative nature, sunny days and stormy days and unfortunately those people who don't understand or refuse to accept that they have the ability to mind manage their challenges are those who through their fears or laziness, never grow in wisdom from experience and they will let their situation or circumstances determine their future.

So .. come on .. let whatever is in your heart, what ever is in your awake dreams determine your future.

Ok going through hard times can make it really tough to hold faith, see and believe but this is when you and on every other day also, believe in you, believe in your awake dream and goal and believe it all will happen because it is those who face their challenges with belief and mindfulness that grow and achieve and do what they want in life.

The best way to predict your future is to create it yourself.

Today I had the fantastic opportunity to meet a beautiful young and hugely talented lady called Tracy, who holds that strong belief in herself and her ability, her business goals and life path. She chatted about her business, and what she has created and successes so far, as well as her furture goals and directions that she will take. Chatting with Tracy also started me also on my daily affirmation time, for that day, where I remind myself of my own awake dream and goals and the next stage I am to achieve, in my continuing life.

So book your ticket, starting today, jump onboard and take the trip, the trip of your lifetime, on the proactive train, fuelled by belief and personal growth and follow yourself to the life you want.
