Replacing a shower glass door is not the same as replacing a shower curtain, so protect your investment. Learn how to clean your glass doors and keep them looking brand new.
What causes spots on shower glass doors?
Hard water spots occur when water evaporates leaving mineral deposits. These overlapping spots become a haven for soap scum, and if not cleaned, can seep into the glass, making it tough to clean. To prevent, ensure glass regularly stays clean.

3 tips to keep glass shower doors clean
Protect your glass with a special treatment
Your shower glass door should showcase your bathroom’s stonework and tile, not soap scum and mineral buildup. Uncoated glass can absorb these deposits, leading to a harder-to-clean surface over time. Water, shampoo, soaps, body fats, and harsh cleaners can stain the glass and cause discoloration.
Apply a special glass treatment such as Invisible Shield Glass Cleaner & Protector. It’s is an ultra-thin transparent glass coating that completely sticks to the surface and prevents water and oil stains. Like a non-stick pan, you can use mild soap or white vinegar with a wet microfiber cloth for easier cleaning. No more scrubbing with harsh, toxic cleaners.
Shower glass already heavily stained?
If your shower glass is old and already heavily stained, we recommend GlasWeld ProClean Hard Water Spot Remover. Use this product to get the glass clear before applying any treatment to the glass.
Keep a squeegee in the shower
Even with the our special treatment, a squeegee is essential. In order to keep your shower glass doors clear, they require regular care. A daily squeegee runs helps keep it tidy. Without one, a soft cloth may do the job after showers.
The correct way to use a squeegee is to start in a top corner with light pressure and pull until no water droplets remain. Make this part of your shower routine, and you won’t even have to think about it!
Allow air to flow in the bathroom
Leave the shower doors and bathroom door open after showering to allow maximum air flow. Use a vent if you have it. Install a vent to protect shower glass and bathroom from mold/mildew.
