Maintenance

No one enjoys cleaning their shower. No matter what you do, or how often you clean it, there always seems to be an accumulation of soap scum, discoloring your shower and bathroom. Then, you have to use toxic cleaners, scrubbing with rubber gloves until your arms get tired.

The Best Way to Clean Your Shower

The mistake most people make is that the best time to clean your shower is while you’re in it. The easiest, and most efficient way to clean your shower is to use a daily shower spray after every shower and then squeegee before it dries. When water and soap dry on a surface, they leave behind mineral deposits providing a home for soap scum and bacteria to grow. Therefore, the most important thing to remember about maintaining your frameless glass enclosure, is to keep water and soap from drying on the glass and tiles.

Quick, daily maintenance means cleaning becomes much easier. As an economic way to clean your shower, ShowerMan recommends using a little bit of shampoo in a loofah and wiping your shower enclosure. Rinse the suds with warm water and squeegee the water before it dries.

Benefits of Frameless Shower Doors

One of the many benefits of choosing Frameless Shower Doors is that there are no tracks or channels like there are in common shower enclosures where mold and bacteria can grow. Solid sheets of glass have no areas where soap scum can infiltrate, especially when upgraded to the ShowerGuard Protective Coating. That means you have so much less to worry about when maintaining and cleaning your Frameless Shower Enclosure.

 

Cleaning Shower Hardware

Just like your glass shower enclosure and the tiles, the most important thing to remember is to blot the water dry. Letting water evaporate dry on your finishes can lead to a buildup of mineral deposits, creating a place for mold and bacteria to grow. So, everyday, blot the hardware dry with a soft towel. The best way to remove water spots is to use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. For hard water stains, the best cleaning solution is a 50/50 water and white vinegar solution with a soft, damp cloth. Afterward, make sure you rinse thoroughly with water and blot dry.

By following these easy instructions, not only will you keep your shower Hardware spotless for years to come, you will also be adhering to the specifications set forth in our 15 Year Warranty, meaning your Hardware will be covered for 15 years.
