How do I dilute the HG 2 X Window Cleaner?

For general cleaning, a good starting point is 10-20 ml of concentrate per 5 liters of water. For spray bottles or lighter tasks, you can use a more diluted mixture, such as 1-2 ml per liter of water. Adjust based on the dirt level and desired results.

Can I use this product on car windows?

Yes, the HG 2 X Window Cleaner is safe for automotive glass. Its streak-free and degreasing properties are ideal for car windows, mirrors, and windshields.

Does it have a strong smell?

No, the product is formulated without ammonia or methylated spirits, so it does not have the harsh chemical odors often associated with traditional window cleaners. It has a mild scent.

Is it safe for tinted windows?

Yes, the pH-neutral formula is generally safe for tinted windows. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if you have concerns about specific tinting films.

How many washes can I get from one 500ml bottle?

One 500ml bottle is sufficient for at least 35 window washes when diluted according to typical recommendations.

Can I mix this with other cleaning products?

It is not recommended to mix HG 2 X Window Cleaner with other cleaning products, as this could alter its chemical properties and potentially create hazardous reactions or reduce its effectiveness.

What is the shelf life of the concentrated product?

When stored properly in its original sealed container, the concentrated product typically has a long shelf life. Refer to the product packaging for any specific expiration date information.

Troubleshooting

Streaks or haze on glass after cleaning

The solution may be too concentrated, or insufficient rinsing/squeegee technique was used. Try diluting the product further with water. Ensure your squeegee blade is clean and in good condition, and wipe it dry with a lint-free cloth after each pass.

Product does not seem to be cleaning effectively

The dilution ratio might be too low, meaning the solution is not concentrated enough for the level of dirt. Increase the amount of concentrate per liter of water. Ensure the surface is pre-rinsed if heavily soiled.

Skin irritation during use

Although gentle, prolonged contact with any cleaning solution can affect sensitive skin. Wear gloves during use to protect your hands. If irritation occurs, wash the affected area with soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HG 2 X Window Cleaner is a concentrate and must be diluted with water before use. A common dilution ratio recommended for professional use is approximately 10-20 ml of concentrate per 5 liters of water, but this can be adjusted based on the level of soiling. For lighter cleaning or use in a spray bottle, a smaller amount, such as 1-2 ml per liter of water, may suffice. Always mix thoroughly.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with all types of glass, mirrors, and similar smooth, non-porous surfaces. Its pH-neutral formula makes it safe for use on painted surfaces, varnished wood, and most plastics, preventing etching or discoloration.

Care: Store the concentrated product in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After dilution, store the cleaning solution in a clean container. Ensure application tools, such as squeegees, cloths, and buckets, are clean to avoid transferring dirt or contaminants that could cause streaks.
