The EC5 Glass Coating helps reduce the build-up of dirt, grime and soap scum on all interior and exterior glass surfaces, while offering long term protection from permanent staining, etching and discoloring. EC5 repels both water (hydrophobic) and oil (oleophobic) leaving an easy to clean surface that is very similar to a non stick fry pan. The coating is also completely invisible and does not change the look or finish of the surface. This means you clean less often, with less effort, and the surface won't deteriorate over its life like untreated surfaces. Also, because you don’t have to purchase specific after care products to maintain the warranty, the coating not only saves you time and money, but keeps your surface looking as good as the day it was treated. EC5 reduces cleaning time by up to 90%! MAINTAINING THE COATED SURFACE Glass Shower Doors and All Glass Surfaces: To keep your glass shower door looking new, the glass needs to be cleaned each week using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent (such as washing up liquid) to remove any soap scum, dirt or grime from the glass. For outdoor glass surfaces such as railings and windows, clean as required using water and a mild detergent . Wash the glass with a microfiber cloth, and dry with a good quality squeegee*. Alternatively, clean with a window cleaner and a cloth. For best results clean the glass in the shade to prevent streaking. *Recommended squeegee brands are Ettore and Pulex Be careful not to use any rough, gritty, abrasive, highly acidic or alkaline cleaners as they may damage the coating. This includes products such as Comet (powder), Ajax, or cerium oxide which damage or polish back the actual substrate. Acceptable Cleaning Products: EC5 is very robust, but as listed above there are some product types that should be avoided. Accelerated testing was undertaken using 6 of the top selling cleaning brands in the US, showing no detriment to the coating: It should be noted that with any cleaner used on the coated surface, a thorough rinse with clean water should follow immediately. Although these cleaners can be used, EC5 is designed to be an 'easy clean coating' that requires only mild cleaners that do not contain harsh or toxic chemicals to maintain the surface effectively. • Clean less often • Use only soap & water • No aftercare products • 5 year warranty Green Works Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner (by Clorox) Clean Shower Daily Shower Cleaner (Arm & Hammer) Mr. Clean Magic Eraser when damp Windex Lysol 4in1 Bathroom Cleaner Fantastik Orange Action EC5 BENEFITS - - Easy to clean: Repels both oil and water-based substances.
