Here at the Glass Company of Naples, we LOVE frameless glass showers! We are so glad they’re getting their moment in the spotlight, showing up in home design magazines around the globe. Frameless glass showers offer a multitude of benefits:
- They let maximum light into the shower
- They allow a clear view of your beautiful shower tile
- Frameless glass shower doors go with a variety of home décor styles
- They’re equally great for large or small spaces
- They’re timeless and elegant
- Frameless glass is easier to clean because dirt tends to get trapped in traditional shower frames
- And, frameless glass shower enclosures are very sturdy and durable.
But there’s one big question that most people ask: How do I keep my frameless glass shower clean and spotless? A dirty shower door can quickly ruin your entire bathroom aesthetic. From soap scum to shampoo splatters and hard water stains, a clear glass shower door has plenty of enemies.
No worries: here are our best tips for keeping your frameless glass shower sparkling clean and crystal-clear!
1. Clean Your Frameless Glass Shower Doors Right at the End of Each Shower
To prevent buildup and to ensure your shower stays clean, make sure to clean the shower enclosure at the end of each shower with a safe, eco-friendly cleaner. This will get rid of any moisture buildup, soap and shampoo splatters, and grime. It’ll also ensure that you don’t get hard water stains or mineral deposits built up on your shower door.
2. Make Sure Your Water is Filtered
If you live in a place with hard water, your glass shower enclosure will suffer for it—unless you have a water softener and/or water filter to keep the minerals in your water to a minimum. This will also help keep your hardware and tile sparkling clean. And, it’s good for your skin and hair. It’s a win-win for everyone!
3. Use Nonscratch Cleaners and Tools to Clean Your Shower
Glass is durable and long lasting, but it can scratch if you use the wrong cleaners or tools on it. Use only cleaners, sponges or cloths that are safe for glass. There are plenty of shower glass cleaners out there that are specifically formulated to keep your glass sparkling clean.
4. Dry it Off with a Squeegee After Cleaning
To avoid unsightly water marks, you’ll need to squeegee all the moisture off your glass shower enclosure immediately after cleaning.
5. Consider Using a Water-Repelling Treatment
Applying a water-repelling treatment to your glass can make it easier to clean and less likely to get buildup from hard water or soap scum. The only downside of these treatments is that you have to reapply them to maintain the effect.
