Re: Glass cleaner & print life

2008-01-18 by Mark Rogers

Ammonia is a harmful chemical. Picture Framers never use any ammonia 
based cleaners on glass or acrylic. Our favorite glass cleaner is 
Sprayway glass cleaner. It comes out as foam and we have fewer issues 
with streaking. It is available at Wal-Mart.
