how to clean your frameless shower screen

Frameless glass shower screens are a popular choice for modern homes.  Nothing beats the modern, streamlined look of frameless glass shower screens.  One of the most notable things about frameless glass shower screens is they provide plenty of extra lighting, air and space in a bathroom, allowing you to enjoy more comfort in your bathroom. Not only do frameless glass shower screens look great, they are very durable and will stand the test of time!  They also require very little maintenance and are super easy to keep clean.  At All Things Glass, we can create and install custom made frameless glass shower screens to suit any bathroom and any home in Perth.

If you have chosen to invest in frameless glass shower screens, rest assured you have made a good decision. Although frameless glass shower screens may be the more expensive option, you can have peace of mind in knowing that they will stand the test of time!  While frameless glass shower screens are loved for needing very little maintenance, it is still important to have a weekly cleaning regime.  Unlike shower curtains, frameless glass shower screens are not easily or cheaply replaced and so should be well looked after.
 
Most homes and bathrooms are used regularly on a daily basis.  Over time, substances such as soap scum and mould can stick to the shower screen.  If this is not regularly cleaned and these substances are left on the glass shower screen for too long, they can permanently stain the glass. This will ruin the look of your frameless shower screen. Instead of looking its best, your frameless glass shower screen will look tired and dirty. Regularly cleaning your frameless shower screen will keep it looking its best!
 
One of the best things about frameless shower screens is that they are so easy to keep clean!  At All Things Glass, we want you to get the most out of your frameless shower screen.  We want your shower screen to look fantastic for the duration of its life and so we have put together some tips on how to clean your frameless shower screen.

• Use a cleaner that removes soap scum and calcium build up. All Things Glass can provide 2 options for cleaners that come with a full money back guarantees. We offer this guarantee because all of our customers are completely happy with our products. A point worth noting is that many of the off the shelf cleaners can have detrimental effects on the silicone work (yellowing and deterioration of the mould fighting properties found in sanitary grade silicones, not to mention some of these chemicals can affect the plastic seals found in the hinge hardware).
• Use a cloth applicator to spread the cleaning product around the glass.  
• A fine gripper pad (will not scratch your glass) will remove the built up calcium deposits and soap scum.
• Rinse the cleaner off with cool water.

 
At All Things Glass, we build custom made, fully frameless glass shower screens that are installed with Australian designed and engineered fittings made from solid brass and heavily chrome plated (these metals are a marriage made in heaven and hence highly resistant to corrosion). Many people think that stainless steel is the ultimate in corrosion prevention. Sadly this may not be the case. 316 marine grade stainless steel is subject to tea staining (looks just like the tea stain around the rim of a cup of tea if you let it stand) and some cleaning chemicals like bleach can also cause corrosion of the steel (mostly found with cheap overseas imported fittings).  The quality of our fittings (unconditional 3 year warrantee against any defects) give our customers peace of mind in knowing that they will enjoy trouble free operation and years of continuous use of the shower screen.
