How to Maintain Your Frameless Glass Shower Doors
A frameless glass shower enclosure is a beautiful and elegant way to enhance your home, especially if you can keep it looking brand new for years to come.
While frameless glass shower doors aren’t prone to the same damage and aging from hard water, soap and humidity that regular shower doors are, they still need some TLC.
Here are four ways to keep them in optimal condition:
Safeguard Frameless Glass Against Scratches
Using a squeegee to remove excess water after every shower is an effective way to keep it sparkling. For periodic maintenance of your frameless glass shower doors, use a soft cloth or wet sponge and common household cleaners to avoid the buildup of minerals, scale and soap scum.
Avoid abrasive cleaners such as Ajax, Comet, rouge and cerium oxide, hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids and abrasive brushes, razor blades and other sharp objects.
Here’s a list of suggested cleaners to use.
Protect Your Glass Right from the Start
While Eclipse Glass frameless glass shower enclosures are durable and easy to clean, we can take your new shower doors to the next level by installing Shower Guard or Clear-Fusion Pro glass.
This affordable option permanently seals the glass surface so water beads off and you enjoy a shower that stays pristine with minimal cleaning.

Be Friends with Your Fan
Don’t forget to turn on the bathroom fan every time you have a shower, as this will prevent water stains and keep mold or mildew from building up within your frameless glass shower enclosure.
Open the bathroom door and keep the fan on until moisture has left the room – the Home Ventilating Institute recommends leaving it on for at least 20 minutes to minimize humidity, moisture and condensation.
Go Pro to Keep Leaks Away
Framed shower doors often have rubber or other seals to bind the doors to the shower wall, which can result in leaks.
One of the key benefits of frameless glass shower doors is their seamless corner joints and hanging shower and tub doors, which keep water from splashing or leaking.
However, it’s very important to use a trusted frameless glass installation company. If you look for the cheapest option or attempt a DIY installation, you could end up with a water-logged bathroom.
We actually guarantee that your glass shower corners will not leak or drip, no matter how high the water pressure is.
