  • How to Clean Your Shower

    To receive years of beautiful service from your enclosure requires only a minimum of care and maintenance. You should not use cleaners that might scratch your glass or do damage to the metal finish of your enclosure. Cleaners you should NOT use include: Vinegar or vinegar-based cleaners, Abrasive powders, and Steel or Teflon pads.

    In looking for the best cleaners that’s also gentle on surfaces, BEMA ( The Bath Enclosure Manufacturers Association) tested some of the most popular cleaners and found Comet Non-Abrasive Bathroom Cleaner to be the most effective while still being gentle on the glass and metal surfaces of an enclosure.
           

    Cleaners we strongly do not recommend: Lime-Away, Fantastik, Formula 409, Tough Act, Tackle, and Dow Bathroom and Cleaner.

     
  • Showerguard is a product that is applied to the glass during it's manufacturing process. It seals the glass to prevent build-up from continued shower use. Unlike spray-on or wipe-on treatments that eventually wear off, the protection provided by ShowerGuard glass is part of the glass itself, so it never needs to be reapplied. With just a minimal amount of cleaning, ShowerGuard glass will stay beautiful for years to come.
     


 

  •  How to clean your mirrors


You will clean mirrors in much the same way you will clean windows. But remember not to use heavy-duty, harsh solutions on mirrors. Remember the three A's-Abrasives, Alkali, and Acids. Stay away from these…they are very harmful to mirrors. There are reflective layers of tin, silver, and copper backed by a layer of paint that solvents can damage and corrode. Any other commercial or household cleansers will do just fine. Mirrors have critical edges where "spillover" solutions attack the backing at its most vulnerable point. You can protect the edges from "spillover" by applying the cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the mirror. Once done cleaning, wipe the edges clean and dry off any "spillover" with a clean, dry cloth.

  • Tips and tricks for cleaning your mirrors

In order to keep your mirrors streak-free, use some old newspapers. They leave no fuzzy lint and they add a polishing effect.
 

If using paper towels use a fresh one for each portion of the glass.
 

Sometimes you will find sticky residue or thick spots that won't come off. Take a sharpened razor blade between your forefinger and thumb pressing it firmly down on the glass at roughly 180 degrees. Scrape it along the glass through the spots and residue. They will peel right off without any scratches on the glass. DO NOT USE WITH SHOWER GUARD GLASS
 

When preparing a washing solution, use as little soap as possible to avoid streaking.
 

For hard-to-reach mirrors, you can purchase squeegee extension poles at your local hardware store specifically made for washing mirrors.
