Maintaining your brand new shower glass feels easy, and a lot of the time it is easy to just get out of the shower without any clean up. But, I’m writing this to tell you that you must maintain your shower glass if you want it to stay nice for years to come. If you’re coming here looking for new glass or looking to maintain your new glass you’re in luck. Because the best time to keep your glass looking crystal clear is the early days. Once you start to see some spotting it’s extremely hard to reverse that process, especially once you start to notice full panel opacity differences.
Squeegee
The number one thing that you must be doing if you’d like to maximize the life of your shower glass is squeegeeing every time you shower. It’s not the water itself that creates spotting on your glass shower doors and panels, it’s the minerals and chemicals within the water, so it’s important to squeegee all of that gunk off of your glass and down the drain.
Shower Head Water Filter
As mentioned above the minerals and chemicals of our modern water can leave your glass in a bad spot. Installing a Water Filter onto your shower head can filter out some of those residue leaving minerals and chemicals.
Contractor Finish
Talk to your contractor about the options they have for finishing. Often times there will be a solution they can apply for an additional cost. The solutions can cost upwards of $300 for a small bottle and take precision to apply. This is why solutions like these are often applied by the contractor themself as a mistake can mean visibly streaky glass.
Microfiber Towel
Get yourself a few nice microfiber towels from the local hardware store. The same ones you would use for shining up your car will work, no not the old ones in the garage, new ones from the store like I said. This does not replace squeegeeing but enhances the rewards. The microfiber towel will wipe away any remaining mineral or chemical to help you maximize your shower glass.
Daily Solution, RainX, or Homemade Solution
As I’m sure you have already found in your search for ‘Best Ways to Keep Shower Glass Clean’ there are countless solutions, strategies, and products that say they will keep your shower clean or revive your dirty shower. Not all of these solutions will work for you. It’s important to find a strategy that works for you, and I think it’s important that squeegeeing is part of that strategy before anything else. Don’t be fooled by product claims and protect your investment. And I will add, I’ve seen some homemade 1/3 cup rubbing alcohol, 1 cup water, and 10 drops of essential oil go a long way when applied every month or so.
