Shower Glass Treatment – Whats And Hows
Keeping a shower clean is one of the harder jobs around the home. It’s no secret that maintaining a shower that looks like new is a lot of work, and it can almost seem impossible if you don’t know the tricks.
Showers get so dirty because the water carries certain minerals, soap contents and dirt it picks up on the way and from the person showering, and when this water evaporates, it leaves behind these stains on the glass. Over time, these stains build up and it can be extremely difficult to get rid of them. Soaps contain a range of chemicals in them that get left behind when the water rinses away, which also leave behind stains.
What are some common ways to clean a shower?
People come up with all kinds of tricks to cleaning your shower, from using vinegar to lemon and everything in between. Here are some popular tips:
Use a scotch brite page dipped in equal parts vinegar and dishwashing detergent. This is help eat past the water stains and bring your glass and tiles to a much cleaner state.
Keep an inexpensive squeegee in the shower and and use it on the glass every time you shower. The few seconds it takes you to do will greatly reduce the amount of soap scum that builds up on the glass.

If you already have your shower glass installed and you can see some stains, it is possible to restore the glass to like new condition and then apply treatment, which will help you maintain it from this point on.

Then rinse with cold water and dry.
