Caring for your custom glass not only ensures its longevity but also maintains its aesthetic appeal. Whether it's the elegant shower doors or the stylish windows, keeping them in pristine condition requires a few essential practices. In this post, we’ll explore three effective ways to care for your custom glass, ensuring it remains a beautiful part of your interior design for years to come.

Regular Cleaning

Firstly, regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the pristine condition of custom glass components. It's important to use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent any scratches or dulling of the glass surface. We recommend using a Soft Scrub® Lemon Cleanser or Scotch-Brite® No Scratch Sponge for a ShowerGuard coated service.

Deep Cleaning

Another essential tip is to perform deep cleaning periodically. According to Better Homes and Gardens, you should deep clean your shower glass once per month. This involves thoroughly scrubbing the glass with an approved solution to remove hard water stains and soap scum that accumulate over time. Approved solutions include Arm & Hammer Clean Shower, Clorox Bathroom Cleaner with Teflon Comet, Bathroom Cleaner with Disinfectant, Fantastik Antibacterial Heavy Duty Cleaner, Kaboom Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner Lime-a-Way Bathroom Cleaner Lysol Basin Tub and Tile Cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles, soap scum remover with Orange Action, soft scrub with bleach cleanser, Tilex Fresh Shower, Tilex Soap Scum Remover, Vim Cream Cleanser, vinegar, or Windex. If you're looking for an eco-friendly solution, you can use Seventh Generation™ Shower Cleaner, Clorox® GreenWorks® Natural Bathroom Cleaner, Nature's Source™ Natural Bathroom Cleaner, Windex® Multi-Surface, or vinegar.

Preventive Measures

Finally, employing preventive measures can significantly extend the life of your custom glass. Consider applying a protective sealant that helps repel water and stains, making regular cleaning more manageable. Additionally, always keep a squeegee handy in the bathroom to quickly wipe down the shower glass after use. This simple action can prevent the buildup of water spots and soap residue, reducing the need for intensive cleaning.

Taking the time to care for your custom glass will enhance its durability and appearance. With regular cleaning, monthly deep cleaning, and preventive measures, your glass will continue to be a standout feature in your home. By following these three strategies, you'll ensure that your custom glass remains as beautiful and functional as the day it was installed.
