Essential Cleaning Hacks for Sparkling Glass Shower Screens

Posted on

Glass shower screens are a common sight in the modern bathroom. These shower screens are the perfect choice for any homeowner that wants to keep the water confined to the shower while adding a touch of style, elegance, and modernity to their bathroom. 

With all the water, soap scum, body oil, and dead skin cells that end up on shower enclosures when showering, you might be wondering if glass shower screens are the right choice for you from a cleaning and maintenance point of view. With the right maintenance regimen, you can keep your glass shower screens clean and looking pristine without much hassle. 

Here are a few cleaning tips to help make your glass shower screens sparkle.

Give the glass panels a good squeegee after every shower

When it comes to keeping your glass shower screens clean and dry, squeegees are your friend. Squeegees are a tried and tested tool for removing as much water and dirt from glass surfaces while using the least amount of effort. No need for vigorous scrubbing: you simply need to wipe down your shower screens with a clean squeegee to achieve a decent cleaning result. 

Give the glass a DIY spray cleaning job

To prevent hard water stains from forming on your shower screens after the glass dries, you can use a homemade cleaning spray to follow up on your squeegee clean. A mixture of white vinegar and water will do.

Apply the spray to the glass in small amounts while using a scrub sponge to give it that extra shine that everyone notices when they step into the bathroom.

Give the glass an occasional clean with commercial cleaners

Over time, the stains that form on your glass can become too stubborn to remove with homemade cleaning products. In such situations, it may be wise to consider commercial cleaning products that are specifically made for cleaning your glass panels. 

You don't have to use these products daily; you can use them weekly or monthly, depending on your cleaning situation.

When it comes to the maintenance of glass shower screens, ensuring proper bathroom ventilation is just as important as having a good cleaning regimen. Also, keep in mind that the water you use in your home can also affect your cleaning results, so consider adding a water softener to your water supply if you have hard water.
