How to Clean Paint Off Window Glass

It is not uncommon to get paint on the windows when applying paint to the walls of a home. If you happen to notice the paint on the glass before it is dry it can easily be wiped off with a wet towel. However, most people do not notice the paint until after it has dried and it requires a little more work to remove it adequately.

How to Clean Paint Off Window Glass

1. Fill a plastic spray bottle with warm water and add a couple of drops of dishwashing detergent of your choice.


2. Spray some of the solution onto the window. It is necessary for the window to be wet and slippery before attempting to remove the paint.


3. Use a cloth to catch any water dripping from the window onto the sill.


4. Position a razor blade on the glass with the blade of the razor turned toward the window.


5. Hold the blade firmly in your hand at a thirty degree angle and gently push it in a upward motion on the window where the paint is located. The paint may peel off all at once or it may peel off in layers. If the window starts to get dry before all of the paint is removed you will need to spray some water water on it because it is necessary for it to stay wet in order for the razor blade to effectively remove the paint.
