1. Wipe Down After Every Use
The easiest way to prevent watermarks is to stop them from forming in the first place. Use a squeegee or a microfiber cloth to wipe down your shower screen after every shower. This simple habit removes water droplets before they dry and leave mineral residue.
2. Use a Gentle Glass Cleaner Weekly
Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners that can damage the glass or its protective coating. Instead, use a mild, non-toxic glass cleaner or a homemade solution of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio). Spray the surface, leave for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
3. Apply a Water-Repellent Coating
Consider applying a protective, water-repellent treatment to your shower glass. These coatings create an invisible barrier that makes water bead up and roll off, reducing the risk of stains and soap build-up. Many Torino Shower Enclosures come with high-quality glass that is already easier to maintain.
4. Avoid Harsh Scrubbing Tools
Steel wool or abrasive sponges can scratch the glass surface. Always use soft, non-scratch cleaning cloths to maintain the glass’s shine.
5. Ventilate Your Bathroom
Proper airflow helps moisture evaporate faster, reducing condensation and preventing mould or mildew from forming around the screen seals. Keep a window open or switch on the bathroom exhaust fan after showering.
6. Deep Clean Monthly
Once a month, give your shower screen a thorough cleaning—paying attention to the frame, hinges, and seals. For stubborn build-up, use a paste of baking soda and water applied with a soft sponge, followed by a vinegar rinse.
