Squeegee: Keep it Simple
One of the best selling points on a frameless shower is how easy it is to clean. Unlike shower stalls, which tend to have many crevices and require a lot of elbow grease to get the job done, the task of cleaning your glass is easily completed with a few swipes of a squeegee. Water falls off with ease and washes down the drain. 99% of the time this eliminates the need for extra cleaning. Religiously maintaining your shower with your squeegee will prevent the problems that come with streaks and hard water buildup. Don’t stray from this strategy, trust us.
But if worse comes to worst…
and you don’t have the time or patience to clean your shower glass after every use (a fine excuse if that shower is in a guest bathroom), it’s not uncommon for streaks, hard water stains, scum, and mildew to accumulate on your glass.
When you’re ready to put a little muscle to correct the problem, try popular over the counter products like CLR, Lime-Away, or Kaboom. Some people highly recommend Bar Keeper’s Friend. If you don’t feel like going to the store, a combination of white vinegar, baking soda and salt can do the trick. But make sure you use a microfiber cloth or a magic eraser so to not damage the glass.
