Shower Doors or Tub Enclosures
Shower doors and tub enclosures require minimal care. A few simple habits will keep mineral residue and soap film to a minimum and keep doors operating properly.
Manufacturer Products
Use cleaning products suggested by the manufacturer to avoid any damage to the trim and hardware.
Routine Care
| Task | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Squeegee water from doors and enclosure | After each bath or shower |
| Clean with manufacturer-suggested products | As needed |
| Check and perform touch-up caulking | As needed |
- Squeegee after use - Using a squeegee to remove water after a bath or shower will keep mineral residue and soap film to a minimum.
- Wax coating - A coating of wax can also help prevent build up of minerals and soap.
- Caulking - Check and perform touch-up caulking on an as-needed basis.
What to Avoid
warning
Avoid hanging wet towels on corners of doors; the weight can pull the door out of alignment and cause it to leak.
