A glass shower enclosure is a great addition to any residential or commercial bathroom thanks to its clear and sleek design. While these showers are safer and easier to clean than other types of showers, the accumulation of soap scum and hard water stains can mar the glass panels over time. Therefore, to keep your glass shower enclosure sparkling clean, it is important to maintain it properly.
Follow these steps to keep your glass shower doors clean and spotless:
Prep the area to be cleaned – Put away the items that you normally store in the shower enclosure, such as your soap bars, shampoo bottles, loofahs, etc.
Spray the surfaces that need to be cleaned – Using your cleaning products, generously spray the glass surfaces of your shower enclosure. Wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping, allowing the cleaning solution to break down all accumulations of soap scum, hard water stains, and grime.
Wipe down the glass surfaces – Avoid using products with abrasive materials that might scratch the glass. Instead, gently scrub the glass using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth.
Rise off the cleaning solutions – Using warm water, rinse off any remaining cleaning solution residue.
Finish off with a squeegee – Wipe down your glass doors with a squeegee to prevent the formation of water spots. Make sure to wipe the blade of the squeegee from time to time as you go to avoid leaving streaks along the glass.
Dry the glass – You can dry the glass using old newspapers or a lint-free towel to prevent moisture spots.
Here are some eco-friendly products that you can use to keep your glass shower enclosure clean:
Baking soda and vinegar – Create a paste by mixing the baking soda with water. Apply it to the stains that you want to eliminate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then spray the area with white vinegar.
Lemon juice and baking soda – Create a paste using lemon juice and baking soda and apply it to the stained surfaces. After a few minutes, scrub and rinse the paste away.
Castile soap – Dilute the soap with some water. This will create a gentle cleaning solution that you can safely use over the glass panels of your shower enclosure.
In addition to cleaning your glass shower enclosure properly, here are some good maintenance habits that you can also put into practice:
Use a squeegee after each shower to prevent the accumulation of soap scum and water spots.
Give your glass shower doors a quick wipe-down weekly with a vinegar solution.
Clean up splatters of soap and shampoo promptly before they have time to dry and stain your shower enclosure.
