I’m wondering what others do when cleaning the inside portion of an exterior glass commercial door. The doors I clean have a full length of glass and there is a push bar that goes across the glass to push the door open. The gap between the push bar and the glass I clean is very narrow, about 3/4".
I’m wondering the best way to clean this portion of the glass?
Do you skip cleaning this portion because no finger prints get to it?
I’ve ran a 0 degree squeegee and the metal of the door and the metal of the squeegee sometime rub and possibly scrape because the gap is hard to work in. I don’t think this idea is a good solution because I don’t want the paint of the door to have multiple scratches in it either.
Thanks for any advice offered…
When we had to deal with those I would clean the top of the glass and then use a scrim to buff in between the push bar and the glass then do the bottom of the glass. No runs or drips that way.
Only on rare occasions have I had a door where the squeegee will not pass behind the push bar. However, when this happens I clean the top and the bottom as if they are two separate panes. Then I take a microfiber and pass it behind the push bar. This drys and cleans the area where the squeegee will not reach.
Same as Micah and Tony. I call it “shoeshining”.
SHOESTRING…EH Dan
I think thats a great name for that Dan,I do that but never had a name for it. I’m going to implement that into my vocabulary Dan.

Do as Tony says, double fold the scrim, shove your thinnest squeegee inside & wipe.
