Although tough, glass is a delicate material that can quickly get scratched, so be careful in choosing the tools that you would be using. Avoid steel wool or metal scrubbers as they would surely leave permanent marks on your precious glass. A plastic brush or scrubber is the safest and most ideal tool for the job. Not only would they remove grime faster, they would also leave your glass shower doors clear of any scratches.
There are many cleaning agents out there that specialize on cleaning glass. You can purchase them in home depots, or in the Toilet & Bath section of most department stores. If you want, you can also make one yourself. A simple solution made from vinegar, baking soda and a little detergent is enough to remove most glass stains.
When cleaning, brush in a circular motion to remove dirt from all sides. Clean thoroughly but gently. Make sure you cover all areas when brushing. For corners and hinges, use a small narrow scrubber or toothbrush to remove dirt and grime from these tight spots. After cleaning, rinse the door well with water. Be sure to dry your doors carefully and evenly to avoid any unsightly watermarks.
Do not forget to apply a layer of glass polish as a finishing touch. Doing so will greatly help your glass shower door to maintain its shiny and stylish appearance.
