The photocatalytic properties of the glass' coating are energized by UV rays to help slowly break down and loosen organic dirt. \n\nThe hydrophilic properties cause water to sheet evenly over the glass surface, instead of beading. This sheeting action helps to flush the surface clean and to accelerate drying, leaving the glass with minimal spotting and streaking.

Rinse agents help your dishwasher rinse away residue that causes spots and film on dishes and glasses. Rinse agents for automatic dishwashers, such as JET-DRY® Rinse Agent, are designed to lower the surface tension of the water, causing it to sheet off the dishes during the final rinse. This prevents the formation of droplets of water that can remain on the surface of the dishes and are 'set' by the heat of the drying cycle, forming spots and film. \nRinse agents are also helpful in obtaining dry dishware when dishwasher energy savings switches are activated, or when dishes are left to air dry.*

ADULTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR CLEANING UP BROKEN GLASS THERMOMETERS CONTAINING MERCURY, which is the most frequently encountered mercury spill or release in homes and schools:\n\nKeep children and pets away from the broken glass. \nWear chemically resistant household cleaning gloves.  DO NOT TOUCH anything that might be released from the broken glass that appears bright or shiny silver. \nBe especially alert to the presence of bright and shiny liquid mercury beads, droplets, or small balls that may glide along the surface of most household surfaces when released from broken glass thermometers.   DO NOT TOUCH THE SILVER LIQUID MERCURY BEADS OR DROPLETS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.  This type of mercury can enter your body by direct contact or accidental ingestion, which is why gloves are recommended.  CHILDREN AND PETS ARE ESPECIALLY ATTRACTED TO THE SHINY LIQUID MERCURY BEADS BECAUSE OF THEIR BRIGHT GLIMMERING APPEARANCE AND THE FACT THAT THE BEADS APPEAR TO GLIDE OVER HARD, SMOOTH SURFACES, SUCH AS PAVED CONRETE, TILED, OR CERAMIC FLOORS. \nA graphic representation of what liquid mercury beads or droplets look like and additional details on what you should do if you have a small mercury spill can be found at the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response mercury web site,  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm \nIf you see any released mercury, take steps to minimize release of the mercury into a vapor or gas by temporarily turning off any near-by fans and closing near-by heat vents or windows and doors.  After the thermometer’s clean-up is complete, open the doors and increase the ventilation in your home. \nDO NOT USE A VACUUM SWEEPER, BROOM OR OTHER DEVICE TO ATTEMPT REMOVING THE MERCURY.  IT WILL ONLY SPREAD THE MERCURY AND MAKE REMOVAL OF THE MERCURY MORE DIFFICULT. \nIf liquid mercury from the thermometer has been released, clean it up indirectly using a small glass siphon (sucking) system.  For very small amounts that might escape a single household thermometer, a glass medicine eyedropper such as found in a drug store can be used as the siphoning system to suck up the released liquid mercury. If an eyedropper cannot readily be found or purchased, an alternative clean-up system involving transfer of the mercury to a disposable, absorbent material such as soft tissue paper supported by more rigid paper can sometimes be attempted.  (See this EPA link for additional information on materials needed and additional steps at  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm). \nAlthough most escaped liquid mercury forms beads and droplets that can be sucked up using a small glass eyedropper, there may be times when very rough household surfaces, such as carpets, furniture, or clothing, can trap the liquid mercury or make those items appear stained.  When this happens, it is best to remove the material that has become stained and no longer use it.   (See EPA link for additional information and steps.) \nUntil you can properly dispose of the mercury materials, you should temporarily store the broken glass thermometer and any liquid mercury you captured in your glass siphon system in an airtight plastic or glass container to prevent possible mercury gas being released over time. Common household containers with airtight lids and seals (e.g., an empty mayonnaise jar, a canning jar, or enclosed plastic milk bottle) can serve as a temporary holding container for the mercury and broken thermometer.  Choose a container large enough to contain your mercury spill materials. \nLabel the container or jar clearly as “Mercury and broken glass” or “Mercury Waste”.   As an extra security measure, after sealing the lid tightly on the container, you can apply duct tape or plastic mailing/wrapping tape around the lid.  Keep that container in a locked area and out of the reach of your children for a short period of time, until you can dispose of the container properly.  As soon as possible, take the container to a household h

The same eyeglass-cleaning solution sold by optometrists (and the lint free cloths) work fine on LCD screens.\n\nDon't use paper towels or harsh cleaners like Windex/Forumla 409.

The process of depositing a thin film of metal on glass is centuries old.  Aluminum is now used as well as silver.  It is a little different for telescope mirrors than for mirrors used in dressing rooms and bathrooms, but basicaly:\n\n“Virtually all mirrors for interior use are manufactured by the conveyor, wet deposition method. Annealed or fully tempered glass is thoroughly cleaned by the application of cleaners and passing contact with oscillating scrub brush units. After the glass is cleaned and rinsed, the surface of the glass is sensitized with a diluted solution of tin chloride. This surface treatment allows for the deposition of silver. Silver nitrate is sprayed onto the sensitized surface of the glass along with other chemical configurations. The final outcome is the formation of a uniform silver layer on the glass.”\n\nSee the site below for additional details on the mirroring process.

The best way to clean a LCD monitor is with a mix of rubbing alcohol and water. Use a ratio of 80/20 - 80 percent water and 20 percent alcohol. Use a soft cloth, lint-free. Do not use paper towels or paper products, they will leave lint all over the screen. Do not spray the liquid directly on the screen put it on the cloth and wipe the screen gently. The LCD screen is very sensitive and prone to scratches. Do the cleaning with the monitor off or else you could damage the pixels.

this glass is only produced for home use...it has a certain amount of chemical in it & that chemical mix of glass is protected by copyright\n\nIt is not suited for auto use but lends itself to illegal activities & hightened security risk of peace officers...\n\nTherefore ... the manufacturers of this glass have agreed to limit it to use in buildings & will not produce an auto version..\n\nas for who makes it...?\n\ni don't know

see what you can do with canned air. \nIf you can't get everything off with air, rinsing with alcohol will be much better than rinsing with water as it will not cause rust and evaporate very quickly, leaving no moisture behind. Soap and water isn't good for any electronics.

It really depends on what type of bowling ball you have, what it is made out of.\n\nIn my bowling career, i have owned numerous bowling balls,\n\nthe cleaners i have used for each surface are as follows\n\nPlastic (polyester) Bowling balls - \nMethylated spirits, isopropyl alchohol, acetone, warm soapy water, car polish.\n\nUrethane (ploy urethane) bowling balls\nMethylated spirits, acetone, car polish, warm soapy water.\n\nReactive Bowling balls\nWarm soapy water only \n\nReactive Particle balls (pro active)\nwarm soapy water only\n\n\nAlso a light rubbing with new (unused) green nylon dish scrubbers and warm soapy water is just as good a cleaner for any ball surface that i have came accross

It cant be just any piece of glass, it has to be a prism. The light comes out in the form of a rainbow because the prism separates the light into it's visible colors.

you can buy a cleaner kit at any computer store like radio shaq or staples preferably. It usually come with a special brush or cloth with which to clean it. recommended that you do not use paper towels and cloths around the house u may risk scratching it

first of all do not use alcohol or spray cleaners,,, use a moist cloth dipped in water that has a drop of liquid detergent in it.start at the center of the Glass and gently do in circles, not you lol. then use a clean dry lint free cloth a soft and do the same as before.\n\ni hope i have mad my self clear to you.\n\nps. the reason you don't use any of the other products is that some scanner screens are made of a compound plastic that looks like glass and any product made of that compound dose not react well to  alcohol or spray cleaners

Glass is more dimensionally stable - it doesn't expand or contract when the temperature changes - and it can be polished to a very smooth surface.   The finish is a very very thin layer of metal.\n\nRead "The Perfect Machine" by Ronald Florence if you want to learn more.
