How To Clean Shower Doors

Clean shower doors make your bathroom look luxurious and add value to your house. Glass shower doors add appeal to any bathroom, however they must be clean. After time, glass gets calcium deposits from years of water minerals. The glass begins looking old after years of water contact. The metal frame around shower doors is often damaged using hard chemicals and common bathroom detergents that strip away layers of coating. These chemicals and detergents are acidic solutions that open the bare metal to corrosion and oxidation.

When selecting a shower door cleaner it is important that it have a neutral pH level so that it will not interact with the surface. Also it must be non-abrasive; it should not scratch the metal around the shower door. It is highly important that the product used be non-toxic because after time the chemical might adhere to the surface of a shower tub and cause it to leech toxins into your shower. Chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide, common in household cleaners, are carcinogens and are known to have side effects that might cause cancer after time.

The best recommended cleaner for your safety and for cleaning shower doors is Tekon’s Bath Kit. The kit provides all the needed products (Tekon’s Repellent Wash, Glass Luster, and Empowered Daily) to clean, protect, and shine your glass shower enclosure. The products have water based formulas and are made completely from organic compounds that are inert and non-carcinogens. Over the years of using the products, with proper maintenance, shower doors remain sparkling clean and look good as new.

When using Tekon Repellent Wash, it is important to use Tekon B glass protective coating and a Microfiber pad to preserve the longevity of the application. A properly sealed shower door only has to be resealed once every year, and cleaned once every one or two weeks depending on usage.

The problem with most shower doors is that they are already oxidized and the calcium has solidified around the glass. For this, Glass luster is recommended. Glass Luster is a polish for hard-to-remove shower calcium deposits and can literally bring any shower door to new condition. I have seen it bring a 23 year old shower door back to life and the results were amazing! The shower door looked as if it were purchased that day. The customer was very happy indeed in knowing that she would not have to shell out $2400 in having another shower door custom made and professionally installed.

A shower door should be cleaned weekly with Tekon’s Repellent Wash and a microfiber cloth to maintain optimum cleanliness and shine. Frequent with Repellent wash will clean and add protection and shine to glass shower door enclosures.

In order to keep your shower door looking as good as new, take important cleaning measures from the beginning. Only use the recommended cleaning products, and follow the instructions.
