How to Keep Your Glass Shower Door Spotless


If your bathtub has a glass door, you know how much of a hassle it can be to keep clean. An unblemished shower door gleams in the light and can boost the appearance of your whole bathroom, but one ridden with water spots is an eyesore. Use the following three tips to keep yours immaculate.


Squeegee the glass after every shower
After showering, take a minute to squeegee the glass dry. It may seem like a chore, but this is the best way to prevent water and soap buildup, which lead to water spots down the road. Avoid purchasing a squeegee with metal in its frame, because contact with the glass could scratch the surface.


Clean the glass weekly
In addition to drying your shower glass door after every use, you should clean it with weekly with a soft cloth using a mild cleaning solution. Cleaners such as Windex or Lysol's 4-in-1 bathroom cleaner are perfect for this. Avoid using highly acidic solutions or abrasive cleaners such as Ajax or Comet. Not only will these products deteriorate the surface of your glass, they will also corrode the hardware such as the door handle and grab bar.


Do not put excessive weight on the towel bar
Grab bars are designed to support your weight and provide assistance getting into and out of the tub. Towel bars are not grab bars, and are not designed to handle that much weight. Do not hang, lean, stand, push, or pull on towel bars. Excessive pressure on the towel bar can lead to the towel bar snapping off or the entire glass door shattering.
