Evening all

does anyone know the best way to get cement off glass without scratching it?

I wish customers would cover their patio doors up when mixing cement or having building work done

thankyou

Thats what i do, give it a good soaking a couple of times and pick it off. Works fine if the cement is quite new. I have in the past soaked it with water and soap and scraped it off, but i would not want to tell you to do that. If its been on there a long time, once off it leaves marks.

If it won't come off with a good soaking then you will need a brand new sharp scraper blade. Even then, it may have etched the surface of the glass due to the acidic nature of the cement.

I would warn the customer first that you will try to get it off without scratching the glass but cant promise anything

I always wet it first and then scrape it off with a new scraper, works fine on old stuff as well.  Tell the customer that the cement might have caused some permanent damage to the window but that thats not your fault.
