Do You have a Fibreglass Shower Cabin or Enclosure? Here?s the Best Way to Clean it
Many shower enclosures nowadays are made from (or consist partly of) fibreglass. And whilst fibreglass is arguably a strong, sturdy material that makes shower cabins and enclosures more durable and long-lasting, it'still needs to be properly cleaned. Are you wondering how to really keep your fibreglass shower cabin or enclosure clean? Here's the best way to clean it and maintain it in tip-top shape.
Use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda
Baking soda has long been known to have some great properties, especially when it comes to keeping our households clean (and less smelly as well). The great aspect about this vinegar and baking soda mixture is that it's easy to prepare, and it consists of products that you will easily find in any home. To clean your fibreglass shower enclosure, simply make a paste with baking soda and water. Rub this onto the fibreglass parts of your shower enclosure, and once you have rubbed the areas you want to clean, use a soft microfibre cloth dipped in white vinegar and rub the areas again. Afterwards, rinse it away with some clean water and a piece of soft cloth.
Use alcohol
Another effective way to clean a fibreglass shower cabin or enclosure is to use alcohol. Rubbing alcohol has plenty of uses (particularly when it comes to scrapes and cuts), but it can also be used for keeping your shower cabin clean. The alcohol can be poured directly onto the surface, and once you have a good amount, rub away any stains in the material with a soft cloth.
Certain commercial cleaning products
Of course, you can also use certain cleaning products used commercially to clean your fibreglass shower cabin or enclosure. Most of these cleaning products are quite effective, but you still have to make sure that they can be used on your fibreglass enclosure.
Another type of cleaning product has also proven effective at keeping fibreglass shower cabins clean: oven cleaner. Using oven cleaner for a shower cabin or enclosure isn't conventional at all, but it can actually work. If you have a dirty or severely stained shower enclosure or cabin, oven cleaner can be really effective indeed. Just let it'soak up the dirt and grime for a while, and rinse it away with some water and a piece of cloth. You?ll see the effects ? a much cleaner, clearer fibreglass shower cabin ? in no time.
Some additional reminders
When cleaning your fibreglass shower enclosure, make sure not to use any products that are too abrasive. Stay away from abrasive and harsh cleaning products and materials, and avoid using products such as bleach. The materials (such as sponges) you use for cleaning should also be soft and not heavy-duty. Happy cleaning!
