Use it to rub the glass and use it as if it were a drag product. Use a spatula or scraper to help you in cleaning.

Spray with either of the two products and follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. As a general rule, the glass cleaner is removed almost immediately with a lint-free cloth. For the oven cleaner, it is usually necessary to let it act and then remove it with a damp sponge.<br \/>\nYou can even find specific cleaners for fireplace glasses in supermarkets and hypermarkets such as <strong>Carrefour, Mercadona, Leroy Merlin, Bricomart<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3666 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/como-limpiar-cristal-puerta-chimenea-1.jpg\" alt=\"clean the glass door,clean the fireplace glass\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/como-limpiar-cristal-puerta-chimenea-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/como-limpiar-cristal-puerta-chimenea-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/como-limpiar-cristal-puerta-chimenea-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Homemade_tricks\"><\/span>Homemade tricks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a lover of <strong>tricks<\/strong> or <strong>home remedies<\/strong>, this is the solution you need.
