Shower Door Care & Maintenance

CAUTION: ABRASIVES AND HARSH CLEANING PRODUCTS WILL DAMAGE GLASS!!!!

Never use scouring powder, abrasive pads, steel wool, or gritty rags.  Do not use acid based cleaners, bleach based cleaners, or sharp instruments to clean ClearShield glass as these can permanently damage glass.   Please use a clean soft, lint free damp cloth or sponge.

To properly care for ClearShield glass:

  1. Most Important:  Simply rinse with water and squeegee dry after each use.
  2. Periodically, clean the glass using ClearShield AfterCare. The AfterCare cleaning solution offers optimum cleaning benefits, maximizes the long life protection of ClearShield, includes an anti-bacterial formula and leaves a clean, fresh scent.

Glass Cleaners like Windex and Glass Plus will not harm ClearShield glass, but are unnecessarily strong.
Never use commercial strength cleaners or products like Lime Away or CLR on ClearShield glass.

Cleaning Metal

After testing some of the most popular cleaners, the Bath Enclosure Manufacturer Association (BEMA) found that Lysol Bathroom Cleaner was the most effective for metal finishes.   The key is to understand what types of cleaners to avoid. Many cleaners labeled for use in bathrooms that are abrasive can damage the metal finish or scratch the glass of an enclosure.   For a simple approach to cleaning both glass and metal, Creative Mirror’s Perma Gleam Cleaner is mild and non-abrasive and will not cause damage to either surface.
