How to Keep Your Shower Doors Clean

Glass Shower Door Care & Cleaning

If your shower door does not include a factory applied coating, you will need to take extra steps to keep your doors clean. To ensure a long lasting finish, you should always wipe down your shower enclosure with a towel after each use. Never use a scouring agent to clean the hardware or the glass. Keeping your new glass shower enclosure in pristine condition is important.

Many over-the-counter cleaners, if applied to the aluminum and left on, will harm the metal finish and cause permanent damage, even though their directions indicate safe use on shower doors. Please test in an inconspicuous spot before applying to your entire enclosure.
