Those who have always relied on shower curtains know how easy these objects are to clean. Both plastic and fabric models can be laundered in the washing machine. Vinegar removes soap scum. Another strategy these individuals might have used is hanging cheap liners in the shower and displaying a more attractive curtain outside of the tub. They discard and replace the cheap liners as needed. 

At some point, many homeowners decide they are no longer satisfied with a fabric or plastic shower curtain for their combination shower and bathtub. They start considering having glass shower doors installed to give the bathroom a bit of a makeover. Many designs are available, and the right doors make a bathroom look more upscale. One concern the homeowners might have is whether cleaning the doors will be convenient or a hassle.

Regular Cleaning

Shower doors require just a small amount of attention to keep them sparkling clean. The main problem is hard water that causes lime and scaly soap accumulation on the material. The most effective technique is to clean the doors regularly so these substances do not build up. Then the project takes very little time to complete.

Vinegar and Baking Soda

One option is to simply use solutions most households already have. White vinegar is a superb natural cleaning substance. It quickly eliminates a light accumulation of soap scum with hardly any elbow grease required.

Vinegar can be poured onto a non-scratching scrub pad, soft cloth or sponge and then applied to the doors. It also could be poured into a bottle with a spray attachment and then wiped off. If the task has been neglected for a while, adding baking soda to the vinegar and making a paste will include enough grit to remove the accumulated residue.

Commercial Products

Anyone who doesn't like the odor of vinegar or will not clean the shower regularly can buy commercial cleaning products instead. All that's required is spraying the substance onto the doors and then wiping it off. Some solutions are supposed to be left on for a few minutes to cut through the soap scum. The interior of the shower area also can be cleaned with this spray solution at the same time.

Concluding Thoughts

Shower doors are available in a broad range of designs, from clear to textured to opaque. They add a pleasing aesthetic quality to the bathroom. People who want to replace the shower curtain with these doors should not hesitate due to any concerns about cleaning. Routine cleaning is easy and quick.
