Beauty of glasses in windows, doors and wind shields are best enjoyed when they are clear, streak free and give full visibility. To achieve this what’s done at the max is we grab a glass cleaner from the super market and start using it, quiet unaware of what it contains and repercussions if any. Majority of the glass cleaners have ammonia as the key ingredient, in-spite of it not being a safe chemical. Let's explore why ammonia-based glass cleaners are not the best option.
Ammonia and health
Ammonia is widely preferred for its low-cost cleaning option and rapid evaporation but damages glass on repeated usage and also harms the environment. If the concentration of ammonia is high it causes eye and skin irritation and on inhalation affects the lungs.
Sunlight and ammonia
When you clean a glass with an ammonia-based glass cleaner that has direct sunlight shining on it, the ammonia in it is rapidly dried by the sun’s heat even before it starts evaporating and you can notice streaks appearing. These streaks are quite difficult to get rid of and when this happen on wind shields it glares and obstructs clear vision, this is real nuisance.
Save your tinted glass
Tinted glasses decorating our doors and windows are style elements in addition to serving it purposes. If you are one who is very concerned about cleaning the glass with out scratches,then using an ammonia based glass cleaner is a big NO. It causes the tint to discolour, bubble up and eventually peels off. Also avoid cleaning your glass painting and decoratives with ammonia based glass cleaners as they may fade the colour. Ammonia is used by professionals to peel off tints from old car windows.
Combining ammonia-based cleaners with bleaches is dangerous
With all of us fancied about DIY ideas, we tend to miss out on science. What needs to be noted is you should never combine ammonia with chlorine based bleaches as they form chloramines, that’s toxic;unknowingly we would be creating a fume generator indoors.
Weakens windshield
When you use ammonia glass cleaners on your windshield you are actually weakening the strength of it. Ammonia damages the seal around the windshield and with time it may give in. You should also know that ammonia causes damage to plastic,rubber seals,vinyl,chrome trim etc. and all of these are found in your car. Also note that ammonia based glass cleaners damage the rubber fixed in car wipers. Having briefed the disadvantages of ammonia in glass cleaner, what do you expect of an ammonia free glass cleaner?
