One. What are the reasons for the discoloration of glass bricks?
There are several reasons why glazed tiles may appear black, such as poor quality of the glazed tiles themselves or prolonged use, which can lead to blackening. Additionally, if the joint sealant used is of poor quality, it can also cause glazed tiles to gradually darken. Furthermore, if the joints between glazed tiles are constantly exposed to humid environments and are not properly cleaned, this can also lead to blackening.
Two. What cleaning agent is used to remove the blackening on glass bricks?
1, Citric acid
Lemon is not only edible, but also a very effective cleaning agent. It is highly effective in removing black stains from glazed bricks. To use it, simply prepare 5-10 lemons, squeeze and juice them. Apply the juice to the entire stained glazed bricks. After applying, wait for approximately 10-15 minutes, and then gently scrub with a brush, and the glazed bricks will be clean and like new.
2、Bleaching solution
Bleach contains chlorine and has a strong odor. However, using bleach to clean yellowed and moldy glass bricks is very effective. Bleach has both disinfecting and degreasing properties, and can also eliminate odors, providing a multi-functional solution. Simply pour bleach onto the discolored glass bricks, allowing it to dissolve, break down, and kill bacteria. Allow it to sit for approximately 20-30 minutes to allow the bleach to fully work, then rinse with water.
3、Baking Soda
Even small amounts of baking soda used in the kitchen can be a powerful cleaning tool. Mix baking soda with water and use a brush to scrub away black stains on glass tiles. This method is very effective and easy to use.
4、White vinegar
White vinegar has the effect of dissolving grease and stains. White vinegar can be sprayed onto the stained glass brick surface. After approximately 20-30 minutes, the stains on the glass brick can be cleaned by scrubbing with a brush.
Three. How to maintain glass bricks.
1、Remove stains promptly.
If glazed tiles become stained, it is essential to clean them promptly and use appropriate cleaning agents. Acidic or alkaline cleaning agents can easily corrode glazed tiles, so they should not be used frequently. It is best to use neutral cleaning agents for cleaning.
2、Cleaning purposeGrade
Do not use abrasive tools such as wire brushes or stiff-bristled brushes to clean the glass brick, as this may scratch the surface.
3、Pay attention to maintenance.
After applying the glass bricks, you can use a brush to apply a waterproof agent to the joints. For areas with more stains, you can apply the waterproof agent using a candle.
4、Regularly apply wax.
The glass bricks should be polished every two to three months. However, before polishing, the glass bricks must be cleaned, and they should be allowed to dry for 8 hours after polishing, during which time the surface should not be stepped on.
