To clean the glass from the silicone sealant, take a sharp knife or razor blade and try to remove big pieces, but so as not to scratch the glass. With the power of the scrub is not worth it. Silicone sealant can easily be cleaned with substances containing gasoline. Take a piece of dry cloth, moisten it with gasoline and RUB the contaminated area, then leave for a while, to allow the sealer soaked with gasoline. After 5 minutes, dry washcloth wipe sealant remains. After the procedure, the glass should be rinsed with water and wiped dry.
