Instructions

    • 1

      Rinse off the salt debris from the isinglass thoroughly with water before cleaning it. Use a hose or a spray bottle. This will prevent the salt crystal from scratching the isinglass. Dry with a clean chamois cloth.

    • 2

      Add 1 teaspoon of mild dish-washing detergent to 2 cups of water in a spray bottle.

    • 3

      Spray the soap solution on both sides of one isinglass window panel. Cleaning one window panel at a time will prevent hard-to-remove water spots. Use a chamois to wipe the window panel in a straight line from top to bottom. Wipe the other side of the window panel using the same motion.

    • 4

      Use another clean, dry chamois to dry the window panel in the same direction as you wiped it.

      Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each window panel. Rinse out the chamois after wiping each window, then dry it with a clean chamois.
