Shower screens are decorative elements that require care and maintenance.
Many times we think that shower screens do not need to be cleaned because they have anti-lime... but this is one of the most common mistakes.
The anti-lime will help water droplets and soap grease slide off better and make it more difficult for them to adhere to the glass, but if we do not drain the droplets after showering, over time, stains can still form.
Therefore, the tempered glass of a shower screen, regardless of whether it has anti-lime or not, should be drained of droplets after use.
Importance of cleaning and maintaining a shower screen:
The anti-lime will aid in maintenance, but it does not prevent stains with improper use.
Another major problem with shower screens is usually the lower part, the lower profiles where the bearings of the sliding screens are located. It is a point where moisture and limescale accumulate, and over time they can break, rust, and not function properly if not properly maintained.
It is very important to consider the cleaning products being used. It is especially recommended to avoid hydrochloric acid, as the fumes from this product can cause chipping, stains, and even rust on profiles and bearings.
Therefore, you should avoid hydrochloric acid, ammonia, and bleach, the products that are usually used for scrubbing. The recommended products are cleaning vinegar or Viakal.
If you want a simple, economical, and easy-to-maintain shower screen, we recommend fixed screens, a tempered glass panel without lower profiles or bearings.
If you want a shower screen with sliding doors and want to avoid future problems with lower profiles, we recommend shower screens with sliding doors WITHOUT lower profiles; they are much easier to maintain, facilitate access to the shower tray, are aesthetically more pleasing, and do not have the issues that screens with lower profiles of bearings and rusted, chipped, or stained profiles have.
If you are looking for a shower screen with sliding doors and no lower profile, and also with double-sided anti-lime, we recommend the new range of shower screens from Baño Total, with a wide range of sizes and available in various profile colors (matte black, shiny chrome, and matte white) with the option of being transparent or in digital printing serigraphy.
