Ways that can not be used
Washing a specific surface is very difficult due to the characteristics of its coverage. A matte image on the simplest glass appears as a result of sandblasting or acidic exposure. Contrary to popular belief, the rough texture, which is obtained as a result, is very sensitive to external influences. Before cleaning such doors, it is necessary to consider the following points:
- The use of abrasives against stains is prohibited, becauseTogether with the mud they will also remove the sputtering.

Stages of treatment of frosted glass
The easiest way to get rid of fatty formations on the doors while they are still fresh. Depending on the degree of contamination, the procedure can do with one or more cleaning steps. Specialists and experienced housewives recommend the processing of frosted glass in the following compositions:
- Solution from chalk. For a glass of warm water, take three tablespoons of crushed white chalk and mix thoroughly. In the resulting composition, we moisten a soft rag without lint and go through both sides of the glass. We wait until the composition dries, after which we wash the remnants of chalk with a clean cloth.

The treatment is best done pointwise, with the help of a cotton swab or sponge, otherwise the smell of the agent will long to disappear even if the windows are open.
- You can clean the frosted glass with steam mops, steam generators or steam cleaners. After such intensive treatment, it will only be possible to walk over the surface with a microfiber, removing excess moisture.
