Have you ever seen shower glass enclosures that are never cleaned properly? They tend to have a cloudy look, like the dirt is dried and caked on and can’t really come off. Now that you have spent quite some money to get your shower glass enclosures installed you want to make sure that they never look like that. Glass shower enclosures are a wonderful addition to any bathroom and they can last a long time and look great so long as they are properly cared for. So, what is the best way to care for glass enclosures?
The first thing you should do is talk to the vendor sand installer about any special requirements that may be needed. Depending on the kind of glass that has been installed you may have to wait a couple of days for the sealant to dry before you can use the shower, and you may also have to be careful about how you open and close the door because the seals may need to settle in.
It is a good idea to apply an invisible shield protector. This is a kind of polish that can be used on many different surfaces to ensure that dirt and grime don’t stick. This is usually applied using a soft cloth – make sure you follow the instructions on the packet. The shield protector should be applied gently because the sealant between glass panels hasn’t yet dried. One important thing you should note is that glass sealant is not an alternative to cleaning your glass enclosures. It is a way to make sure that grime doesn’t settle in.
As for daily care of your glass enclosures there are certain things you should do. After each shower or after every two or three days you should wipe down your panels with a soft cloth. If there are stains on the glass you can use a soapy sponge and then dry and buff with a soft cloth. To prevent soap stains from drying on the glass you should rinse off the glass after every shower – just turn the shower head onto it for a few seconds.
To clean the glass thoroughly use a squeegee – there are those that are designed for this specific use. You should be very careful about the cleaners you use on your glass enclosures. If you choose abrasive cleaners your enclosures will end up with scratches and they will not look very attractive. Choose cleaners that are made for use on glass. Be careful about homemade cleaning solutions as they can often be quite abrasive.
