Maintenance Guidelines for Frameless Shower Enclosures
At Trinity Glass LLC, we want your frameless glass shower enclosure to look beautiful for years to come. Regular maintenance not only keeps your glass and hardware spotless but also helps extend the life of your investment.
Best Practices for Shower Maintenance
The most effective way to keep your shower looking like new is through simple, daily care:
-
Squeegee the glass before water dries to prevent mineral deposits, soap scum, and bacteria buildup.
-
Consistent, quick maintenance makes deep cleaning easier and less frequent.
-
Tip: Avoid letting water and soap dry on the glass and tiles—this is the main cause of soap scum and mineral deposits.
Products & Methods to Avoid
To protect your glass and coatings, do not use (but not limited to):
-
Abrasive cleaners such as Ajax or Comet
-
CRL Bio-Clean or CRL Sparkle
-
Rouge or Cerium Oxide
-
Hydrofluoric or phosphoric acids (corrosive to coatings and surfaces)
-
Abrasive brushes, razor blades, or other sharp objects
Using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals can scratch or damage the glass and hardware and may void your warranty.
Recommended Cleaning Products
Aside from your normal squeegee routine, an occasional cleaning is necessary to keep your glass and hardware spotless. A damp cloth or sponge with approved household cleaners is typically sufficient.

Benefits of Frameless Shower Doors
Frameless glass enclosures eliminate tracks and channels where mold and soap scum typically accumulate. Optional protective coatings make your enclosure even easier to maintain, reducing cleaning time and effort while keeping the glass looking pristine.
Caring for Shower Hardware
Your shower hardware requires the same attention as the glass:
-
Blot dry daily with a soft towel to prevent mineral deposits.
-
For light cleaning, use warm water with a soft, damp cloth.
-
For hard water stains, use a 50/50 water and vinegar solution, rinse thoroughly, and blot dry.
By following these maintenance practices, you’ll keep your hardware in excellent condition and remain compliant with the Trinity Glass LLC 10-Year Limited Warranty.
