Do not use abrasive or acid-based cleaners when cleaning your Cardinal Shower Enclosure. There are some powerful cleaners on the market today. Abrasive or acid-based cleaners can scar the metal or glass of your Cardinal Shower Enclosure. It probably wouldn’t happen with a single application, but it’s best to use appropriate types of cleaners all the time.

10 Surface Protection Care Instructions

How to Clean Shower Doors

  • After each use a simple swipe of a squeegee will help maintain that brand new look. The glass needs to be cleaned every few weeks using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent or soap to remove soap scum and grime from the glass.
  • If you prefer, a general glass cleaner and a cloth are also suitable.
  • The need to use harsh cleansers or toxic chemicals is no longer necessary to maintain the pristine appearance of your glass.
  • When cleaning your treated glass be careful not to use any rough, gritty, highly acidic or abrasive cleaners that may remove the surface of the glass and damage the coating, therefore voiding the warranty.
  • For areas with hard water, due to a higher concentrate of mineral deposits such as lime and calcium, a build up may occur on the protective coating and not be easily removed with a mild detergent.
  • A solution of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 5 parts water), will need to be used occasionally to dissolve these deposits.
