HOW TO CLEAN GLASS SHOWER DOORS
Removing water from glass shower doors after every shower prevents hard water stains and soap scum, which can damage the surface over time.
Hard water stains form when dissolved minerals are left behind as water evaporates, eventually becoming rock-hard and etched into glass. Soap scum comes from bar soap mixing with body oils and is stubborn to clean.
Common DIY fixes like baking soda and vinegar don't work, they neutralize each other and lose cleaning power. Dish soap, harsh cleaners, steel wool, glass cleaners with ammonia, and bleach can leave streaks, damage glass, or be harmful to your health.
DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING GLASS SHOWER DOORS:
If spraying above your head, wear eye protection. Always spot test a hidden area before beginning.
- Apply Simple Green Lime Calcium Surface Residue Remover onto the surface or apply with a damp sponge or cloth.
- Scrub around the shower door handle with a stiff, non-metallic brush to loosen heavy deposit buildup.
- Spray and scrub surrounding areas. If your shower door slides, spray the metal tracks and scrub accordingly.
- Immediately rinse thoroughly.
For even better results:
- Use a squeegee after each shower to prevent buildup.
- Wipe down your shower weekly.
- Deep clean monthly.
This routine keeps your glass clear and your bathroom looking fresh.
TIPS:
- Do not use on mirror backings or allow prolonged contact with natural marble, terrazzo, stone, wood, colored grout, enameled particle board, carpet, fabric, or wallpaper. If spilled, wipe up and rinse with water.
- Reduce the amount of soap scum on glass by swapping your bar soap for liquid soap. Liquid varieties don't contain the talc and solids that can increase gunky buildup.
