Glass shower doors not only enhance a bathroom’s appearance, but they also produce the illusion of a bigger space. However, if you’re unfamiliar with the process, it can be difficult to maintain their pristine condition after the shower door installation is complete. Follow these simple do’s and don’ts and you should have no trouble keeping your shower enclosure sparkling.

Do:

Wipe the surface with a squeegee.

Water droplets and soap residue cling to any available surface in the shower. Prevent them from leaving a mark by going over them with a soft squeegee. This maintenance keeps scratches from forming and leaves the glass looking as clear as it did during the shower door installation.

Use a towel to dry it off.

The amount of moisture in the air after a shower can fog up your glass shower door. Dry the surface with a towel to remove any residual dampness that may leave a haze on the glass.

Don’t:

Apply abrasive cleaners.

Whether you’re dealing with hard water spots or a stubborn soap smudge, you shouldn’t use abrasive cleaners. The chemicals in these products will only damage your shower door, and could even make it look worse than before. Just ask any shower door installation expert and they’ll recommend using a mild detergent or a general glass cleaner to restore its condition.

Direct the shower head at the door.

While it may seem convenient, you should refrain from rinsing the shower door with the shower head. More water droplets will only extend the time it takes to clean the surface. And if your water is hard, it will leave minerals on your glass once evaporated.
