Product Information
Full details
The Rushmere Heavy Grade 1 Window Scrim is designed for professionals and homeowners seeking effective window and glass cleaning. Its primary benefit is the superior absorbency and non-scratch cleaning power of unrefined linen, ensuring a streak-free finish. A potential caveat is that its unrefined nature may require a pre-wash for optimal softness. This large, heavy-grade scrim cloth, measuring approximately 45cm x 88cm, is ideal for both drying and polishing glass surfaces.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of using linen for window cleaning?
Linen is highly absorbent, dries quickly, and is naturally strong yet gentle enough not to scratch glass, making it ideal for a streak-free finish.
How large is the Rushmere Heavy Scrim Cloth?
The cloth measures approximately 45cm x 88cm, which is about 18 inches by 36 inches.
Do I need to wash the cloth before using it?
Yes, it is recommended to pre-wash the cloth to soften the unrefined linen and enhance its absorbency for optimal performance.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this scrim?
No, it is advised not to use fabric softener, as it can reduce the natural absorbency of the linen fibers.
Is this cloth suitable for all surfaces?
This cloth is primarily designed for cleaning and drying glass and smooth, non-porous surfaces. It may be too abrasive for painted finishes or delicate plastics.
How should I care for the scrim cloth to ensure longevity?
Machine wash in warm water with mild detergent, air dry or tumble dry low, and avoid fabric softeners. Bleach can be used sparingly for stains.
Will this cloth leave lint on my windows?
Initially, some minor lint might occur due to the unrefined nature of the linen. This should significantly reduce after the first few washes.
Troubleshooting
Cloth feels stiff or rough.
Pre-wash the cloth in warm water with a mild detergent before its first use. Repeated washing will soften the linen over time.
Minor lint on glass after first few uses.
This is normal for unrefined linen. Continue using and washing the cloth; linting will decrease significantly with subsequent washes.
Reduced absorbency.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can coat the linen fibers. Re-wash with a mild detergent only.
Cloth does not seem to be cleaning effectively.
Check that the cloth is clean and free from heavy grime. For tough spots, a specific glass cleaner may be needed in conjunction with the cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rushmere Heavy Scrim Cloth is ready for use upon arrival. However, for the best results and maximum softness, it is recommended to pre-wash the cloth before its first use. This will help to remove any residual stiffness from the unrefined linen and improve its absorbency.
Compatibility: This scrim cloth is compatible with all standard window cleaning solutions, detergents, and water. It is specifically designed for use on glass, mirrors, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces. Avoid using on delicate painted surfaces or plastics that may be easily scratched.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash in warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the absorbency of the linen.
- Bleaching: Chlorine bleach can be used if necessary for stubborn stains, but use sparingly to maintain fabric integrity.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Linen dries relatively quickly.
- Ironing: If a crisp finish is desired, iron on a medium-high setting while the cloth is still damp.
