Scraping off the Algae

[MandyK]

Sooo, I don't currently have a glass scraper, but I do have algae on my glass. It isn't bad, but it is spreading. Is there any other way I can get this junk off my glass until I get a scraper??

So far the only successful way I've gotten it off is scratching it with my nail... Not a very efficient technique to say the least.

a plastic coat hanger with a scratchy pad attached to one corner. gives you length, pressure on 2 sides, and a focus point. ?

[MandyK]

That wouldn't hurt my glass would it? I def don't want any scratches. Other than that I would probably try it!

Take a stick and a sponge and tie the sponge around the stick. Viola!

[MandyK]

Sponge won't work for sure. I've already tried it. This stuff will not come off unless force is applied, and something scrapey is scraping it off. Haha!

if you use a scotch brite pad made for glass cook tops (usually red) it's even easier on the glass than a normal green one for doing the dishes. just make sure it's a plain one. not one with the cook top cleaner in it. i have both for my glass top stove. both are red. you just kind of have to read the labels. but the green one should be fine too. i use it on my glass bowls. just don't bare down on it like a crazy person with a vengeance against the green stuff.

Okay, got ya. I will have to pick up one of those and try it out. Thank you!

I think Brhino uses an old credit card for algae.

[MandyK]

That is def another option! Made me laugh too.

I get those scrubbie pads at the dollar store. Pan scrubbers, I suppose they're called. I don't know how they'd work for doing facials tho.
