How To Take Care of Your Glass Shower Door

Glass shower doors give your bathroom a modern and stylish look and make it feel more spacious. Who does not like a spacious bathroom? However, installation is not the end of it. To keep your frameless shower doors looking as good as new, you need to follow a few maintenance tips. If hard water and soapy water are left to accumulate it can cause permanent damage to the glass. Here are some tips to help you along.

Ventilation is key

After taking your shower make sure that your bathroom is well ventilated. You can do this by turning on the fan or opening the bathroom door. This allows all the moisture to leave the room quickening the drying process. Keeping your bathroom dry will help stop mildew or mold from having a chance to form on your glass doors.

Wipe Down The Surface Daily

A squeegee is a windshield wiper look-alike tool with a handle and a long flat rubber blade. Using it on the frameless shower doors is the most effective way of maintaining shower doors. It is a simple task that only takes minutes. You just need to get everyone in the house on board and get them excited to take up the new daily cleaning routine.

Another effective way to keep your shower glass doors clean is with dryer sheets. You can clean shower doors with dryer sheets because they contain detergent inside of them. This detergent will help remove built-up soap and scum from the glass. Dryer sheets may be the hero you’ve been looking for.

Monthly Deep Cleaning

It is normal that you do not get that chance to clean your bathroom on a daily basis. You might be on a tight schedule at work and you are simply short on time. If this happens you just have to spare one day to do a deep cleaning on your bathroom. If left for too long without cleaning, shower enclosures can build up grime and this will require more than a fabric softener sheet to clean up. You need to scrub the scum using common home cleaning products. Since the products contain chemicals, it is a good idea to use gloves to protect your skin.

Frameless shower doors have become very popular because of their aesthetic appeal. If you have them installed make sure you keep them clean with the above tips

Removing Stains on Your Glass Shower Doors

When trying to remove hard or soft water stains, traditional soap, and water could be more damaging than beneficial to stained shower doors. Instead, try using things such as a commercial lime or calcium-removing spray, these sprays are specifically designed to remove these types of stains!

For fresh hard water spots, try rubbing the shower with a dryer sheet. Dryer sheets are able to remove the built-up calcium without scratching the surface of your glass door, helping it stay clean and clear of these pesky stains.

For extra stubborn hard water stains, spray lemon juice on the door, after that rub a solution of vinegar and baking soda on the door with a soft cloth or sponge. Once this process is completed, immediately rinse and dry the door, you should be able to peer right through the glass as if it were brand new!

Other Tips For Maximizing Bathroom Space

There are quite a few other ways to increasing the space in your bathroom, they include:

  • Install shelf mounts on your walls.
  • Experiment with the color of your bathroom walls to add the illusion of depth or increased space.
  • Add cubby-type storage to your bathroom
