One of the best ways to keep your fiberglass shower in top-notch condition is by cleaning it regularly. At Tub Tile & Tops, we’ve seen many showers that need repair due to using incorrect cleaners, scrubbing too hard, or normal wear and tear. Keep your Hendersonville shower clean and shiny with these five fiberglass cleaning tips.
Using the wrong cleaners on fiberglass showers can cause extensive damage and costly repairs. Determine if your shower is fiberglass by asking these questions:
Fiberglass shower stalls need special care when cleaning. Because they are lightweight and flexible, scrubbing too hard can result in several cracks or chips. By using cleaners that aren’t meant for fiberglass, you may need to make repairs sooner rather than later.
With a multitude of shower cleaners and disinfectants available, it can be tough to know which one to choose. Some shower cleaners can be used on multiple surfaces like tile and shower glass, whereas others are made to remove soap scum and hard water stains. Choose a cleaner that best suits the condition of your particular shower.
While some materials can take the brunt of abrasive cleaners and tools like powdered bleach and scouring pads, you should avoid using these on fiberglass showers. You can clean the shower without the use of these harsh materials by wiping it down after someone has showered, while the bathroom is still humid and steamy.
It’s vitally important to never combine store-bought products. Certain chemicals can cause dangerous reactions when mixed together. Choose one fiberglass shower cleanser of your choice and carefully follow the instructions. You may want to wipe everything down with a dry cloth afterward, and leave a fan on or window open to discourage mold growth.
