Glass showers can be kept looking new by following three simple steps - pick a glass protection, squeegee dry daily and choose a non-abrasive, non-acidic glass cleaner.

Care for Shower Glass

Contrary to popular belief: Glass showers are not hard to keep looking new. Follow these three simple steps and your bathroom upgrade will pay you back.

  1. Pick a Glass Protection: A glass protection application is the first and most important step in preserving the pristine appearance of shower glass. Glass protection is not a cleaning product, but a specially formulated application that bonds to porous shower glass surfaces forming a barrier against hard water corrosion, stains, bacteria and soap scum. The chemically bonded barrier provides a no-stick cleaning surface to repel water and dirt build-up. The application is applied to interior shower glass only.
    • If you are ordering a custom glass shower from Dulles, Glass and Mirror, or have ordered a glass shower from Dulles Glass and Mirror, then you already know about our ClearShield protection application. It's an award-winning industry product for preventing water stains (limescale damage), bacteria and dirt build-up.
    • If your glass shower is already installed, we can apply ClearShield for clients in our service area. ClearShield can be applied after your glass shower has been in use, but you may not qualify for the 10-year or Lifetime product guarantee.
  2. Squeegee Dry Daily: Water beads on protected shower glass, making it easy to wipe down for streak-free shower glass.
  3. Choose a Non-abrasive, Non-acidic Glass Cleaner: Spray both sides of the glass shower every one, two or three weeks.
    • If your glass has a protective application such as ClearShield (our recommendation), then cleaning is only necessary every two to three weeks
    • If your glass shower is not protected then you should clean the glass weekly.

Our clients can purchase ClearShield Aftercare spray for maintenance cleaning. It's gentle and extends the warranty of ClearShield's glass protection application from 10 years to the life of the shower. This cleaner was formulated by an award-winning product company.
