Keeping your shower screen clean and free of soap scum, hard water stains, and mould requires regular maintenance. We recommend a routine of daily maintenance, as well as periodic deep cleaning.
Daily Maintenance Of Your Shower Screens
Squeegee after each shower: This prevents water spots and soap build up.
Wipe with a microfiber cloth: Quickly drying the screen helps avoid streaks and mould.
Leave the door open: Proper ventilation reduces moisture build up.
Deep Cleaning Your Shower Screens
Deep cleaning your shower screens can make a huge difference in how they look and function. Over time, soap scum, hard water stains, and grime can build up, making the glass look dull. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get your shower screens sparkling clean:
Materials you’ll need:
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Dish soap
- Microfiber cloths
- Scrub brush or sponge (soft-bristled)
- Spray bottle
- Squeegee (optional)
- Rubber gloves (optional)
Step-by-Step Process:
1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
-
- Vinegar & Water: Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. This will help dissolve soap scum and mineral deposits.
- Baking Soda Paste: For stubborn stains, mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste. This can be used to scrub tough spots.
2. Spray the Vinegar Solution:
-
-
- Spray the vinegar and water solution generously onto the shower screen, making sure to cover all the areas with buildup.
- Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes. The acidity of the vinegar helps break down soap scum and mineral deposits.
-
3. Scrub with Baking Soda Paste:
-
- Apply the baking soda paste to any tough spots or areas with heavy stains.
- Use a soft-bristled scrub brush or sponge to gently scrub the surface. The mild abrasiveness of baking soda will help lift grime without scratching the glass.
4. Wipe Down with Dish Soap:
-
- After scrubbing, apply a small amount of dish soap to a microfiber cloth or sponge.
- Wipe the glass down to remove any remaining residue and soap scum. Dish soap helps cut through grease and grime.
5. Rinse the Glass:
-
- Rinse the shower screens with warm water to remove all the cleaning solutions and any leftover grime.
- Ensure there’s no baking soda or vinegar left on the surface.
6. Dry and Polish:
-
- Use a clean microfiber cloth or squeegee to dry the glass. This will help prevent water spots from forming and leave the glass streak-free.
7. Maintain with Regular Cleaning:
-
- To keep the screens looking great, consider using a daily shower spray after each use to prevent buildup. Alternatively, wipe down the screens with a squeegee to remove water droplets.
Extra Tips:
- Hard Water Stains: If you have hard water stains that won’t come off with vinegar alone, try using a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water with a little bit of dish soap.
- Preventing Future Build-Up: After cleaning, consider applying a water-repellent glass treatment to make it easier to maintain the shower in the future. We recommend EnduroShield.
