Glass Care & Cleaning Instructions
If you have a clear shower enclosure, like millions of homeowners worldwide, you know that water spots can be noticeable. Here are some preventative care methods which Florida Shower Doors recommends.
A soft cloth or wet sponge and the following are the only products you should use in maintaining the life of your glass enclosure. A clean rinse should follow the use of these products. Please follow the manufacturer’s printed instructions.
Precautions: Avoid abrasive cleaners such as Ajax, Comet, and anything containing Cerium Oxide. Products containing ammonia are not recommended. Hydrofluoric, Phosphoric Acids are corrosive to glass surfaces and should not be used. Do not use abrasive brushes, razor blades or sharp objects which may scratch the glass.
Squeegee use is always recommended. *Sold in our showroom.
Enduroshield
Save time and money with EnduroShield, the revolutionary, non-stick treatment that is ideal for shower glass. EnduroShield glass treatment makes cleaning shower glass easy and repels soap scum, grime and dirt. EnduroShield reduces your cleaning time by up to 90%.
Untreated glass is porous and as a result absorbs mineral deposits and soap scum, making it more and more difficult to clean overtime. Shower glass is subject to mineral deposits from water, shampoo, soaps, body fats, and harsh scrubbing using toxic cleaners, causing the glass to discolor and develop irremovable staining. EnduroShield is an ultra-thin transparent glass coating that completely adheres to the surface and provides protection that will repel both water and oil based stains. Similar to a non-stick fry pan, cleaning is made easier using a mild detergent or white vinegar with a damp microfiber cloth. No longer is scrubbing with harsh toxic cleaners needed.
Diamon Fusion
Diamon Fusion is a two-step process applied to the glass which creates a chemical reaction which bonds to the glass to form an ultra-thin protective layer of optically clear durable material, making the surface significantly easier to clean and more resistant to weathering. Here are some benefits…Reduces cleaning by up to 90%, 20% more brilliance, impact and scratch resistant, protection of the surface from stains, scratches and other damage, a more hygienic home by reducing mold and bacteria, revitalization to maintain “like new” performance is easy and effective, 10X more water repellent, UV stable, permanent surface protection and 100% optically clear. Diamon Fusion is a permanently applied product with a limited lifetime warranty through Diamon Fusion International. *Sold in our showroom.
Surface Protector
Surface Protector will actually seal the pores of glass to make the surface water, soil, and stain resistant. The clear coating guards against the adhesion and build-up of dirt, grime, mold, mildew, rust and mineral deposits. Simply spray on and polish off. This product is recommended to help keep glass shower enclosures clean upon installation. *Sold in our showroom.
