Frameless Shower Care & Maintenance

A two-minute daily habit and a monthly routine that keeps frameless glass looking like installation day for a decade.

The only daily step that matters

Squeegee the glass after each use. Hard-water minerals etch into the glass surface as droplets evaporate; once etched, they cannot be wiped away. Thirty seconds of squeegeeing prevents the single most common cause of permanently cloudy shower glass.

Weekly

  • Wipe glass with a 50/50 white-vinegar and distilled-water solution, then rinse and dry.
  • Dry hardware — hinges, clamps and handles — with a soft microfibre cloth to protect the finish.
  • Check that the door sweep and seals are intact and free of soap residue.

Never use

  • Abrasive powders, scouring pads or magic-eraser style melamine sponges
  • Ammonia-heavy cleaners on coated glass — they degrade hydrophobic coatings
  • Acidic lime removers on brushed brass, matte black or PVD hardware
  • Razor blades to scrape glass — they leave micro-scratches that trap soap film

Hardware

Frameless doors run on precision hinges. Once a year, check that hinge screws are snug and that the door still returns to the closed position on its own. If the door drifts or drags, call us — a five-minute adjustment prevents seal wear and glass-to-tile contact.

What is normal

  • A slight green edge tint on clear (non low-iron) glass
  • Minor variation in the tempering pattern visible in polarized sunlight
  • Small water accumulation at the bottom sweep after use
