There’s something undeniably sleek about a crystal-clear glass shower. It doesn’t just brighten a space but elevates the entire experience. Whether it’s your personal ensuite or a guest-facing bathroom in a hotel, spa, or commercial property, clean glass makes a statement: you care about the details. For homeowners, it keeps your sanctuary looking sharp. For business owners, it’s essential to client satisfaction, because no one’s impressed by water spots and soap scum.
At Verrage Glass and Mirror Inc., we know great design deserves great upkeep. As a trusted source for high-end custom glass across the GTA, we’re sharing our top shower glass maintenance tips, so your bathroom always looks intentional, inviting, and photo-ready.
Glass showers are a stunning focal point in any bathroom, but they’re also exposed to hard water, soap scum, and daily wear. Without regular care, even the finest Optiwhite™ glass can lose its clarity and shine. With the right care routine and a few smart product choices, your shower glass can always remain flawless and photo-ready!
The easiest way to prevent water spots and soap buildup is to wipe down your shower glass after every use. Keep a squeegee or microfibre cloth handy and quickly run it over the glass panels. This simple habit is especially effective for clear options like Optiwhite™ glass and tinted glass, which can show water spots more easily.
Make it a weekly ritual to give your shower glass a deeper clean. A gentle, non-abrasive cleaner or a simple mix of white vinegar and water works wonders. Just spray, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it down with a soft cloth for a streak-free finish. If you have patterned glass or rice paper glass, be sure to give extra attention to textured areas where residue loves to hide. Skip the harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. Your glass deserves better, and scratches are never in style.
Don’t forget the hinges, handles, and seals on your custom shower glass enclosure. Wipe these down regularly to prevent corrosion and mildew. For tempered glass and laminated glass showers, check the seals for signs of wear and replace them as necessary to keep your enclosure watertight.
If you live in an area with hard water, mineral deposits can cloud your glass over time. After each shower, use a squeegee and consider applying a water-repellent treatment designed for glass surfaces. This is particularly helpful for Optiwhite™ Glass and GPW Glass, which are prized for their clarity and brilliance.
Custom shower glass, including tempered glass and laminated glass, is tough but not indestructible. Avoid slamming doors or using sharp objects near the glass. For patterned and rice paper glass, be gentle during cleaning to preserve the unique textures and finishes.
