The Battle For Clean Glass Shower Doors

Regardless of the type, cleaning windows is always a chore. Granted some windows are more difficult to clean than others but perhaps none are more difficult than glass shower doors. Glass shower doors can quickly lose their luster even after a short amount of time due to hard water stains. The calcium build up left behind by shower water is bad enough but when you take into consideration things like soap scum, dead skin, and even hair it's not difficult to see why these types of "windows" are so arduous to clean.
Due to the difficult nature of cleaning shower doors and even keeping them free from any or all of the aforementioned issues some homeowners will turn to professional window cleaners for assistance. While this is always a good idea simply because the results they produce are phenomenal, not every homeowner is financially capable of hiring a professional.

In scenarios where a homeowner either can't afford to hire professional window cleaner or would just prefer to do the job themselves, there are a few things that they can do to make cleaning glass shower doors less difficult, less frustrating, and less time-consuming. The first and perhaps most important of these being regular cleanings. A homeowner who utilizes a simple squeegee can reduce the amount of build up on their glass shower doors by simply wiping off the shower door immediately after completing their shower. Doing so will wipe away not only water but all the other debris mentioned previously as well. While calcium buildup will still occur as will other types of debris, this will keep shower doors looking clean for a greater length of time and it will reduce the need for hard cleanings.

Homeowners looking for a secret weapon in the battle against dirty shower doors will be happy to learn that they can keep their shower doors extremely clean not only by utilizing a squeegee on a regular basis but by utilizing fabric softener sheets as well. Nearly every homeowner has fabric softener sheets in their home and the sheets are designed to soften water deposits. Therefore by rubbing them all over a glass shower door homeowners can dramatically reduce the amount of hard water deposits/calcium  buildup that gather on their shower doors. This will keep their shower doors from looking cloudy and if used in conjunction with a squeegee after showers, will negate the need for any type of cleaning that requires any large amount of time.
