What You should Pay Attention to when Cleaning and Maintaining Your Shower Cabin

When your shower cabin has just been installed, it'should look as clean as sparkly as can be ? and when it looks like that, it's truly a piece of pride in the bathroom. However, without the proper way of cleaning and maintaining it, it quickly loses its glamour. It doesn't have to be that way, though; in fact, making sure your shower cabin remains looking as new is not that hard. All it requires is a little bit of discipline and a little knowledge on how to avoid the dirty build-up. Want to enjoy that'sparkly cabin for years to come? Here's what you should pay attention to when cleaning and maintaining your shower cabin.

Remove the soapy scum

Soap and shampoo and other cleaning oils, combined with physical residue from our bodies, form a soapy scum that gets sticky and forms a greasy layer on the walls, corners, and glass of the shower cabin. Use a mild detergent and a soft sponge to get rid of them. Alternatively, you can use vinegar ? as this is a mild acid, it will be effective in breaking down the scum and will also prevent calcium formations.

Remove the mould

It's normal to have mould growing in your bathroom ? your bathroom is, after all, a damp place and mould thrives in this environment. However, it'should be gotten rid of as soon as possible. A small amount of bleach mixed with warm water (with a ratio of 1:10) should take care of this.

Clean the plumbing

Hair and soap scum have a tendency to collect in the pipes and clog up the system. Prevention is better than the cure, so regularly flush the plumbing with a drain de-clogging agent.

Keep the shine

Vinegar is a wonderful cleaning agent because it breaks down soap and calcium residue ? it will ensure that the shiny surfaces remain sparkly for years to come.

The last thing is an important one, even though it is often overlooked: take care of the door seal. The seal at the bottom of the door can be a place of dirt build-up, and this is not only unhygienic, it can also cause the door seal to deteriorate over time, causing even bigger problems. It's easy to prevent this ? just remove the dirt and spray with a bathroom cleaner. A soft brush will allow the flexible bristles to clean even the hardest to reach places. Rinse with warm water, and voila, you're done. It's never a fun chore to clean your bathroom and shower cabin, but it's really not hard. And it's a matter of pride, after all. Everyone enjoys it when their shower cabins look clean and sparkly.
