At My Kind Of Bath, Brampton’s trusted source for bathroom renovation products, we know that a glass shower door is more than just a divider — it’s a design centerpiece. When spotless, it reflects light beautifully and makes your bathroom feel more spacious. But without proper care, it becomes a magnet for soap scum, hard water stains, and streaks.
No need to worry — here’s our expert-approved guide on how to clean and maintain your Basilor frameless glass shower doors so they stay sparkling every day.
1. The Squeegee: Your Daily MVP for Shower Glass Cleaning
The simplest and most effective habit? Use a squeegee to clean your shower glass door after every use. This one-minute routine prevents water spots and soap residue buildup.
Pro Tip from My Kind Of Bath: Hang a squeegee inside the shower so it becomes part of your post-shower habit — an easy way to maintain that just-installed look.
2. Weekly Glass Shower Door Cleaning Routine
Spend just 10 minutes a week and avoid deep scrubbing later.
DIY Glass Shower Door Cleaner:
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle.
- Spray directly on the glass shower panels and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
Optional Boost: Add a drop of dish soap to break down body oils and stubborn film.
Brampton Tip: Slightly warming the vinegar helps tackle hard water stains, especially common in Ontario homes.
3. How to Remove Hard Water Stains from Shower Glass
If you’re in Ontario, you likely deal with mineral deposits from hard water. Here's how to tackle them:
- Vinegar & Baking Soda Paste: Apply to affected areas, let sit for 10–15 minutes, and scrub gently.
- Commercial Cleaners: Use mineral removers like CLR with caution. Always test a small spot first.
4. Don’t Forget Shower Door Hardware
Keep your shower door frame and handle looking sharp.
- Wipe with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots or corrosion, especially during Brampton’s humid summers or dry winters.
Insider Insight: Clean hardware keeps your frameless shower system looking new longer.
5. Improve Ventilation to Prevent Mildew
Good airflow is crucial. Leave your shower door open and run the exhaust fan for at least 20 minutes post-shower to reduce moisture and mildew growth.
6. Upgrade to Easy-Clean Frameless Shower Doors
Tired of scrubbing corners and metal edges? Consider upgrading to Basilor frameless glass shower doors — designed with minimal hardware and clean lines for easier maintenance.
