Maintaining Your New Tub or Shower Door Enclosure Guidelines

  • For the optimal results when maintaining your new glass door enclosure, we recommend using a squeegee to remove any water that remains on the glass surface. You can also use a clean dry cloth in place of the squeegee. In our experience the squeegee method is quicker and easier. This will help to reduce water spots and hard water build-up from normal shower use.
  • You will also want to make sure your shower has adequate ventilation; this is especially true for steam shower systems. This will allow for the release of humidity from the shower or bath enclosure.
  • It’s always ideal to make sure the glass shower door surface is clean of any kind of mold, mildew, dust, or contaminants. Regular cleaning is recommended. Do not use abrasive or acid-based cleaning supplies on your new glass shower door enclosure. There are extremely powerful cleaning agents on the market today that will damage your metal components or glass enclosure. Please be aware and always read the labels before using. It’s always appropriate to use the proper cleaning solutions when cleaning your new shower door. Please be aware that these products may not scar immediately, but may over time. We recommend using clear vinegar. You’ll want to apply it with a large non-abrasive (soft) sponge. Then squeegee it off. There are many products on the market today that are specifically designed for cleaning your glass shower door enclosure.
