Your newly installed shower door can get filthy rather quickly if you don’t know how to care for it and clean it properly. You should understand the correct way of maintaining a glass door right from the start, as proper maintenance can extend its lifespan.

BGS Glass Service, a locally owned and operated glass supplier in Waukesha, WI, offers a few useful tips when it comes to caring and cleaning your shower door:

  • Use a Squeegee Daily: A squeegee is a cheap and easy-to-use tool that can help maintain your glass shower door. Make it a point to use it every day right after you shower. Once you get into the habit, it’ll become second nature to you.

  • Use Dryer Sheets: You can use a dryer sheet from your laundry room for softening the scum which accumulates on your glass door. Dampen a dryer sheet and use it to scrub the surface. The ingredients which work on softening fabrics can also work on scum and help make it easier to remove.

  • Utilize an Old Toothbrush: You don’t have to buy special tools to clean your glass shower door. You can resort to using an old toothbrush, for example, to clean the metal frame surrounding the door. It’s effective for reaching around the tight corners.

  • shower doorGo Natural: If you are apprehensive about using strong chemicals, you can go natural when it comes to cleaning your shower door. Cut a lemon in half, dip it in baking soda, and rub it on the glass surface to dissolve residue buildup.

  • Clean After You Shower: Since you’re already wet anyway, cleaning after you shower should be less of a chore. The water also serves to loosen dirt and other types of residue, making the job easier for you.

These are just some of the things you can do to keep your shower door in pristine condition.
