Soap in the shower. Other methods of cleaning. How to choose a detergent

Than to wash the shower? This issue arises both with its purchase and in the process of exploitation. Before you start cleaning, you should pay attention to the materials from which the shower is made. There are varieties that need to choose a special cleaning agent, so as not to spoil their appearance.

How to clean the soap and lime plaque at home?

It is necessary to take a responsible attitude towards the choice of household chemicals for cleaning shower cabins! The following table will look at the types of materials and care for them.

Material name	How to care?
A tray of acrylic	This species requires a rather quivering attitude, like polystyrene. Acrylic as a material has already become a favorite, because of its light weight, quite convenient transportation. One of the drawbacks of choosing an acrylic pallet is more diligent care of the material. After all, it is easily scratched and quickly eroded by the action of hard detergents. Nowadays, there are a number of detergents designed specifically for acrylic sanitary ware.
Pallet with enamel coating	Caring for enameled bathroom at home is quite easy and simple. The advantage of enamel pallets lies in their coverage: lime and soap deposits do not stick to it. Washing this pallet is a pleasure, because there are a lot of gels, sprays and powders, designed specifically for enamel coating.
	Caring for the tiles in the shower is quite simple. Just like the previous view, the tile can be washed with any detergent intended for sanitary ware.
Painted aluminum	Aluminum is a pretty finicky stuff. For greater shine, the aluminum surface is covered with a paint that eventually peels off and leaves a naked aluminum look. Therefore, it is necessary to clean such a material very carefully, without abrasives.

How to choose a detergent?

To the choice of household chemicals for shower cabins must be taken responsibly, so as not to spoil the appearance of the equipment. To do this, you need to know which of them spoil the surface. Such prohibitions should include the following:

sponges with metal spraying;

hard detergents;

microfiber.

The above materials can damage the surface, leaving scratches and marks.

The following are the best tools for cleaning the shower:

silicone or rubber scrapers;

sponges produced on the basis of synthetic material;

napkins.

Than to wash a shower cabin?

A shower booth is often laundered by the means purchased in stores. According to the consistency of the remedy there are several types:

aerosol dispensers;
pasty.

Recently, the market of household chemicals for the cleaning of shower rooms is rapidly gaining popularity sprayers. They are fairly simple to apply to the surface after the end of water procedures and rinse with running water.

A tool of this nature is not very suitable for cabs with roller hinge doors, because they can only be cleaned from inside the shower. Thus, being inside the shower and using the sprayer, you can easily breathe in the chemical vapors. To avoid intoxication, it is enough to put the product on the fabric and hold it over the surface.

When using chemicals, it is worth paying attention to the frequency of its use, because the funds can be designed for radical and daily cleaning.

Cleaning frequency

To ensure that your shower is always shiny and snow-white, it is advisable after each use preventive work without the use of cleaning agents. This prevention will not take a long time, and the cabin will always be in perfect condition.

So, daily prevention of contamination of the shower in the home is the following actions:

The cabin is washed by hot water, and then more cold.

Using the scraper, all the remaining water is removed from the cabin walls.

Using a dry towel or napkin, it is wiped dry.

That's all the unpretentious actions that it is desirable to perform for the ideal cleanliness of the shower.

If there is no time every time to wash after yourself the cabin, it is enough to conduct preventive maintenance once a week.

The amount of time spent cleaning the shower will depend on the frequency of cleaning.

Folk remedies for cleaning the shower

The high price of a detergent for a shower is not a guarantee of its quality, and therefore sometimes one has to resort to folk remedies, time-tested. In the table, which follows, it will be clearly described what means are best used for shower cabins, and also how to use them.

Name	Using
	The effectiveness of soap in cleaning the shower cabins on a par with the more expensive care products. To wash the cabin at home, it is necessary to use a soft sponge in soapy water.
Acetic or citric acid	Used to clean the shower from limescale. Before using the product it is necessary to process the cabin hot water, and only then use a scraper to apply hot vinegar or a solution with citric acid. Then leave for 30 minutes and rinse with warm water.
White wine	Use it only after the remnants of wine vinegar. It must be placed in a spray gun and distributed over all surfaces of the shower cubicle, and then washed off with warm water.
Lemon baby soap or furniture polish	Both of these tools are quite good at protecting the cabin from soapy deposits.

Thus, it becomes clear that you can keep clean in the shower, without spending a lot of money, and using affordable folk remedies.

Calcareous plaque can be cleaned in a variety of ways, from soda and vinegar, and ending with professional universal cleaners. However, it is important to consider what material the pallet and cab doors are made from, so as not to aggravate the situation and not spoil the coating. Below we will answer the question of how to clean the shower in the home from the plaque and preserve the beauty and brilliance of modern materials.

On the shower booth periodically appears lime scale, spoiling the appearance. It consists of calcium and iron salts, when the water dries, the notorious plague remains. Detergents, in turn, also settle in a cloudy film on the glass. With high humidity on the metal surfaces, rust appears and the shower enclosures the fungus.

In order to get rid of these troubles, you need to properly care for the shower. Simple actions, which the child can cope with, will help to avoid many hours of rubbing the plaque with powders and rags. Just ask the occupants of the house after they took a shower rinse clean water all soapy surfaces and wipe dry the doors, pan and taps.

To avoid mold, open the cubicle and the bathroom door (if the shower is not occupied) - this will ensure a constant air circulation and reduce humidity.

Rules for cleaning shower cabins

The shower cubicle is an ideal solution for a small apartment, but it is more difficult to care for than a bathroom. All its parts are made of different materials, and they need to be washed by different means. The carcass of the cabin is most often made of aluminum or chrome steel. It is desirable to rub it to a shine.

The simplest way to clean glass showers with enameled or ceramic pallets, but the plastic doors and acrylic baths require a careful attitude and special means. If you do not choose the right detergent, the plastic may permanently cloud, and from the abrasives become covered with a network of unsightly scratches.

For cleaning the shower cubicle are useful:

Scrapers of silicone or rubber
Soft sponges
Microfiber or other soft tissue napkins
One of the means, which we will discuss below

Tip: Use rubber gloves when handling chemicals.

Pallet

Than to clean a shower from a calcareous touch, in particular the pallet? Before selecting funds, it is necessary to determine what material it is made of. Most often pallets are made of acrylic, faience, ceramic tiles, enamelled steel or cast iron.

We clean the acrylic pallet

The most capricious material is acrylic, it can not be washed with hard brushes and cleaning powders. Also, the coating of acid, acetone or alcohol, which are part of the means, can spoil. Before buying carefully read the composition of the product, you should also be alerted by the presence of formic acid, alkali or formaldehyde.

Despite many precautions, acrylic is a good and warm material. You can clean it with a normal sponge and laundry soap. Rinse with water and sticky deposits of sebum are easily washed off with a toothbrush and paste: you need to apply the paste on the dirty areas and leave for a few minutes, then wipe off with a damp sponge, any dishwashing liquid will cope with grease.

Modern industry offers a wide range of cream-like products for washing acrylic bathtubs. It is very simple to use them: the cream is applied to a pallet with a soft cloth, allowed to stand for 15 minutes and rinsed with running water. Well proven themselves: " Star-Acrylat», « Sarma», « Amway», « Acryl-Net», « Cillit», « Acrylan», « Cif". In case of solid deposits use a polish for silver, apply strictly according to the instructions.

Cleaning of the enameled pallet

Most often they are made of cast iron or steel and covered with enamel. In the composition for cleaning the enameled pan there should be no sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, formaldehyde or alkaline compounds.

Ideally suitable powders, which include soda: "Comet", "Pemolux" and others. You can use a mixture of soda and citric acid, dilute with water to the state of gruel, apply to the enamel and rinse after 10 minutes.

Folk recipe: take a bubble of ammonia, juice of one lemon, a quarter of a glass of vinegar to dissolve by 1.5 liters. warm water. Using a toothbrush, apply the mortar on the inter-part joints, after 10 minutes vigorously rub with a brush and rinse with water from the shower.

Doors

Doors and walls are made of durable glass, triplex or special plastic, depending on the material, care will be different.

Triplex and plastic

Than to wash away a shower from a calcareous touch if it is executed from a triplex or plastic? Study the composition of the product that the seller offers you, there should be no active acids, alkalis, alcohol or formaldehyde in it. This may be an aerosol, liquid or paste, but avoid scouring powders. Very convenient aerosols, they are applied to plastic and literally immediately removed with a rubber scraper, if the contamination is strong, then you can leave the means to interact with the surface, for the time specified in the instructions.

Glass

Washing glass doors is a pleasure, you can use almost any means for glass, folk methods or universal aerosols for washing showers.

Specialist. facilities: " Nordland», « HG», « GLUTOCLEAN», « Sanelit», « Max Extra Clean», « Cif», « Mister Muscle" and many others.
It does not matter if there is no professional cleaner at hand, in this case, you can use the same method that our grandmothers used to remove the plaque. Take a half glass of vinegar or citric acid, add water to make a full glass. Apply this solution to the walls and doors of the shower cubicle and leave for 10-15 minutes. When the allotted time expires, rinse the glass with plenty of water, if necessary, rub it with a soft cloth. After cleaning do not forget to wipe the glass dry and polish it with a soft cloth.

Sanitary engineering

Cranes, shower head, mixer, most often the frame itself is made of chrome-plated steel. They are washed with metal care products and polished to a shine. The metal parts of the shower enclosure are wiped with a dry cloth after each use.

It happens that the tap is so covered with a salt coating that it has stopped opening, in this case it is necessary to moisten the rag in vinegar and wrap it around the tap, overlay the food film on top of it to prevent evaporation. Vinegar will soften the calcareous plaque and restore mobility, the agent is applied for 2-3 hours. Using vinegar, you can also clean the chrome and nickel-plated parts of the shower cubicle, taps, hoses, rubber gaskets from the water stone.
Often there is also such a nuisance: the holes of the hydromassage nozzle or the shower are clogged. How to clean the shower head from the lime deposit? We will need " CilitBang"Or warmed vinegar, it must be applied directly to the shower head and after 15-20 minutes. rinse with water. Now the most painstaking business begins, you need to unscrew the nebulizer and carefully clean all holes with a darning needle or toothpick.

How to destroy mold

If mold has settled in the shower, it's time to take advantage of one of the industrial fungicides. Before using any means, read the composition and recommendations, whether it can be used for plastic and acrylic, exposure time and so on. Do not neglect the advice of the manufacturer.

Help and folk remedies, for example: soda, vinegar or a strong solution of laundry soap. To prevent mold from appearing closely to monitor the moisture level, compulsory ventilation and wipe dry all surfaces in the bathroom, including the sink, washing machine and a shower stall.

A short excursion into the history.

The first universal means for washing the shower was invented by Robert Vlek, a chemical engineer and a teacher at the Polytechnic College in Florida.

One day, Robert's wife asked him to wash the shower booth, and a clean chemist spent several hours to polish the metal parts and remove the coating layer from plastic door.

And he came up with the idea to develop a universal means for washing showers, so that from one bottle you could spray a substance that would equally well cope with lime coating, sebum and would be suitable for acrylic, chrome surfaces, glass and plastic.

The composition of the resultant spray included ethylene glycol (reduces the surface tension of water, which greatly facilitates washing), isopropyl alcohol (dissolves animal fats and soap scum) and diammonium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (neutralizes ions of salts and metals that prevents plaque on chrome surfaces).

The following versions have been supplemented with alkalis, allowing to split fat to glycerin and water-soluble fatty acids. Among other things, modern products also have an antibacterial effect.

Good customer feedback received such funds:

« Acrylan"- Though it has a sharp, unpleasant smell, it does an excellent job and has an antibacterial effect. The remedy deserved the approval of many housewives.
« Cif"- a soft cream-like cleaner, does not contain abrasives, is consumed more economically than liquid analogues. Does not leave a divorce.
« Tilex"- effective from grease, dirt, soapy deposits and mold. Does not require washing, but has a strong chlorine odor.
« O.C. Plus"- a tool that is praised by 9 out of 10 housewives. Aerosol is sprayed onto the walls and the pallet after each use of the shower enclosure, no need to rub, rinse, ensure a perfect appearance and freshness without divorce. One of the cheapest aerosols for the bathroom.

Anastasia, July 22, 2016.

A shower cubicle or a corner confidently and deservedly entered the interiors of private and public premises. It is installed in the bathrooms of apartments, private houses, hotels, manufactures, sports clubs and many other facilities, implying the adoption of hygienic procedures. So widespread use is fully justified, because besides saving space, this plumbing element is easy to use and functional.

But as the shower cabins spread, the problem of how to clean the shower is becoming increasingly important. Despite apparent evidence, the solution of this question has some subtleties, knowledge of which will allow you to have a sparkling clean bath, and they will become known to you right now.

Types of cleaning shower cabins at home

The secrets of ideal purity are successfully applied by professional cleaning agencies, and are not about how to wash showers, but in the systematic approach. Care of the hydraulic box should include a number of measures, depending on the frequency of application divided into:

Everyday care;
Current cleansing;
Intensive washing.

Daily care is designed to maintain the cleanliness of the car, achieved at other stages. The rules of care are fairly simple and consist of rinsing and wiping all surfaces dry immediately after use. Rinsing mechanically removes dirt and soap residue, and wiping prevents the evaporation of water droplets, leaving behind a deposit of mineral salts. Daily use of chemical compounds for cleaning is undesirable, since even the most qualitative of them still affect the surface of sanitary ware and human health.

The frequency of procedures for the current cleaning directly depends on the regular use of the shower and varies from weekly to monthly. This type of care consists in cleaning surfaces from plaque, and local contamination and requires the use of funds that dissolve organic and lime plaque. After thorough cleaning on absolutely dry surfaces, water repellent agents for sanitary ware are applied.

To facilitate everyday care is the ability to use hydrophobic compounds that create an invisible water-repellent film and allow you to think less than wash the shower from the lime and soap deposits.

Intensive washing of hydraulic boxes is carried out as necessary and includes the removal of intense, persistent contaminants, the control of lime deposits, rust, mold and prevention of blockages of drainage canals. At this stage, special tools are used that accurately act on each type of contamination and eliminate it.

How to clean the shower

Features of cleaning the shower enclosures consist in the variety of materials used in this plumbing fixture, and, accordingly, the need to choose a suitable method and means of cleaning each of them. Most often in the manufacture of hydroboxes and shower corners the following materials are used:

The pallet is made of acrylic, enamel or ceramic elements, natural or artificial stone;
The material of the doors is a hot glass or various types of plastic;
Chromed steel is used for the manufacture of a faucet, shower head, hydromassage system elements, handles and door hinges;
If the doors are made on a frame, then its material is represented by a painted aluminum profile.

Than to wash a shower cabin in house conditions

The choice of means for washing is a serious task, the correctness of the solution depends not only on the speed and effectiveness of cleaning, but also on the service life of plumbing. Buying an unknown household chemistry is always a lottery, since the problems associated with its use can range from absolute inefficiency to extremely aggressive effects that damage the surface being cleaned. Therefore, it is worthwhile to trust trusted brands and observe general rule - Do not buy products containing abrasive particles, concentrated acids and alkalis.

Bought for the first time the tool must be tested on an inconspicuous site, to protect against possible unwanted effects the entire surface of the cabin.

The optimal option for care will be the formation of an arsenal of tools designed for each material. Given the seemingly high cost of this approach, the final cost of cleaning will not be significantly different, since non-universal means are more efficient and will be spent more economically.

When deciding what and how to clean the shower from limescale - home remedies or products of the modern chemical industry, it is worth understanding the principle of their action. The mechanism of purification consists in the reaction between magnesium and calcium salts and acid, as a result of which the lime scale dissolves. From this it follows that to eliminate unpleasant white deposits it is not necessary to buy expensive compounds. It is quite possible to use the weak acids available in everyday life, which are available in every household.

On a surface contaminated with lime coating, a solution consisting of 1 cup of table vinegar per 0.5 l of water is applied from the spray gun. After spraying, the composition is left for 10-15 minutes to effect the reaction, and rinsed with water, followed by drying the surfaces dry. Chromed elements can be wiped with a slice of lemon without subsequent flushing.

To remove dense lime deposits on the shower head, it is immersed in vinegar, diluted with water in a proportion of 1: 1 and left overnight. You can do this by dismantling the watering can or putting a bag of solution on it and tying it. After such manipulations, the chrome-plated elements will shine like new ones, and their smooth surface will become less susceptible to contamination and will allow you to stop thinking about how and what to wash the shower from the lime scale.

How to effortlessly wash the shower cabin glass

Glasses of hydraulic boxes are the most noticeable part of them, the first ones to catch your eye when entering the bathroom. It is the purity and transparency of the glass that creates a sense of irreproachable creaking purity. All the products offered as special chemistry for glasses and mirrors are also applicable to the walls of shower cabins. The rules for their use are quite simple - the composition is sprayed onto the glass, left to the manufacturer's recommended exposure time, after which the surface can be wiped dry.

Prepare the composition for cleaning the glass can be independently, mixing 200 ml of water and 5 drops of ammonia. Such a solution quickly and efficiently cleans the doors, leaving no streaks, and adding 100 ml of glycerin will create a water-repellent film on the surface that retains the result of the applied efforts for a long time.

If the shower cubicle geometry provides straight lines and even walls, then a glass scraper can simplify the care of the doors. This tool has a two-sided cleaning nozzle, one side of which is a sponge that easily removes dirt, and the second - a dense, but soft rubber strip, dry wiping the glass without leaving a divorce.

Compositions for industrial and home-made glasses evaporate intensely during spraying, which during poisoning in the enclosed space of the shower enclosure is fraught with poisoning. If design features they can be put on open doors or left open one of the wings of double-wing hydraulic boxes. Cabs in which access to the inner surface of the door is possible only with a completely enclosed space, cleaned otherwise - the detergent composition is not sprayed directly onto the leaf, but is applied to a napkin or sponge.

How to clean the shower tray

The choice of means for washing the pallet is determined by the material from which it is made. Acrylic pallets are cleaned with specialized compounds for this material, the main requirements to which are the absence of abrasive action and bleaching properties. It is unacceptable to wash the acrylic tray with abrasive particles, as this damages the upper protective layer, revealing the porous structure of the material, which is subsequently absorbed by deeper penetrating contaminants.

Local non-smear stains on acrylic pallet effectively removed by whitening toothpaste, applied by circular motions of an old toothbrush with soft bristles. Pasta should be chosen white, not gel-like and without abrasive particles. Pigments contained in an attractive pasta of different colors can irreversibly color acrylic and return the original whiteness is no longer possible.

A good whitening effect on acrylic surfaces gives the application of lemon juice for 25-30 minutes, but this method is suitable only for small areas that have changed the color of the pallet. If all the acrylic part of the booth needs in the bleaching, it is worth using specialized means.

Pallets made of artificial stone have the property of gradually darkening even with regular cleaning. To return the initial shade it is possible having put on their surface dense means for cleaning of a toilet. Despite the effectiveness of the method, do not forget about the aggressiveness of these funds, so they need to be washed off with plenty of water, and protect your hands when working with dense gloves.

Pallets made of natural stone are distinguished by their durability and resistance to the appearance of stains and dirt. For the current care for them, you can do without chemicals, just wash with clean water using a sponge. Intensive cleaning of pallets from a noble material is carried out using a steam cleaner that softens possible accumulations of contaminants at the joints and bends of the material. After treatment with a steam cleaner, it is enough to wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth.

How to clean the shower from mold

The problem of the appearance of mold is relevant not only for shower cabins, but also for the entire bathroom. To prevent the development of molds is easier than to fight with once appeared mold. This is because the flora penetrates the structure of porous materials and it will be impossible to destroy it there.

Preventive measures consist in elimination of conditions favorable for development of a mold of the raised humidity. For this, the bathroom should be installed compulsory system ventilation, and after use do not close the shower door. Careful attention should be given to sealed joints when washing the cabin and, if it is a question of shower corner, intertidal seams, most often becoming a target for mold. A good preventive effect is applied to the seams of chlorine bleach at intervals of once every two months during intensive cleaning.

If the entire volume of anti-mold measures was not carried out on time and the fungus still hit the shower stall, it is unlikely to completely destroy it. Elimination of unpleasant black spots will become an obligatory stage of current cleaning. To do this, the chlorine-containing solution is applied to the affected areas and kept for 1.5 hours, so that the chlorine molecules penetrate the structure of the material, after which the contaminants are easily removed mechanically using a sponge. Do not forget about protecting your hands from chlorine burns with the help of household gloves. Medical latex gloves for this purpose are not suitable for both density and height.

The cleanliness and shine of the shower cubicle will require greater efforts than cleaning the bathroom, but the indubitable advantages received by the owners more than justify all efforts, and knowing how and how to clean the shower from plaque, mold and dirt does not worry about the safety of its pristine species.

At first glance it may seem that the shower cabin does not require any maintenance. A constant level of high humidity, as well as glass doors and other devices do not allow accumulation of various kinds of contaminants there.

However, this is not entirely correct. The shower enclosure is a rather complex device that will quickly fail without proper care.

The cost of even a fairly simple shower is not too small, so it is advisable to regularly remove it from a lime-type deposit, wash it so that the dirt does not eat up in the surface.

Be sure to take into account that you will have to clean materials of a different kind.

The shower tray is usually made of steel or acrylic polymer materials, in expensive products the products are made of natural or artificial stone, which has a very long service life.
Plumbing elements, which include a mixer, shower head, are made of stainless steel, covered with polishing compounds.
The walls in this construction are usually made of plastic or organic glass. In most cases, they are highly durable, but they should be handled with care, so that they can not be broken during the cleaning process.
It is possible that cleaning agents will have to be applied to ceramic tiles.

In this regard, the question of what to wash the shower from the lime scale, is quite acute. A universal tool that can be used for surfaces of any type is unlikely to be found.

In order to remove such surfaces from calcareous deposits, there are several different cleaning methods. In addition, when using them, it will be necessary to ensure that after the end of work there are no soap divorces left.

The basic rules for the care of a shower booth

To ensure that the shower is always clean, and to ensure that all care work is carried out as quickly as possible, certain rules.

Immediately after using the device for the intended purpose, get rid of the soap solution. To do this, it is enough to clean the shower cabin glass with a jet of warm or cool water. If possible, they will need to be wiped dry with a towel or a dry cloth. It is undesirable to allow soap bubbles to accumulate in hard-to-reach places. In the future, deleting it will be very problematic.
Approximately once a week, you can use a variety of detergents that will remove the accumulated during this time the raid. And for this, you do not have to make any serious effort.
Approximately once in one or two months, it is necessary to clean the inside of this structure. The detergent will clear all surfaces from the accumulated plaque, however here it is necessary to use more rigid sponges, brushes, cleaners of steam type.

The main recommendation, which is directly related to the cleaning of shower cabins, is the inadmissibility of using abrasive detergents. The fact is that they contain fairly large particles that will scratch the surface. Scrapers for cleaning are best taken from rubber.

When regular cleaning is carried out after every direct use of the shower cubicle, it is strictly forbidden to use cleaning agents. At high humidity, they can corrode the surface of the product.

The question of how to wash a standard shower is quite general, as there is no unambiguous and universal answer to it. The fact is that the advice concerning the walls made of glass will be unsuitable for steel, porcelain stoneware, plastic and other materials.

Glass surfaces

The simplest of all is my glass surfaces, since they differ in good strength and do not need any additional care. For glasses there are various sprays and other means that are quickly applied, do not need additional surface preparation.

They are removed using an ordinary cloth made of soft tissue. If it was not possible to remove the contamination from the first time, then pass the tool a few more times, until the glass in the cabin gets the necessary transparency and purity.

It is better not to try to clean the glass shower with folk remedies, since in any case they will contain fairly large particles that can damage the surface of the glass. In principle, for washing glasses, you can use universal scrapers instead of rags, which greatly facilitate the work.

When working with sprays, close inside the booth is not worth it. These compounds are not too harmful for human health, but when they reach a certain concentration, they can cause quite a strong poisoning.

Plastic Surfaces

Regarding how to wash the shower, made of plastic, there are certain recommendations. First of all, it should be remembered that it is much less resistant to chemical compounds.

In this regard, for such products will not be suitable means, which contain various kinds of solvents such as acetone, as well as formaldehyde or acid (formic, acetic, and so on).

In the event that the shower enclosure is an angled structure, then there will not only have to clean the glass of the product, but also thoroughly clean the walls. If you lose sight of this point, the intertitic stitches will darken for a couple of years, and the ceramic material will fade and lose its attractive appearance.

If the booth is in a neglected state, the dirt can be cleaned with steam cleaners. They feed the steam under rather serious pressure, so no pollution can resist this method cleaning.

How to wash the shower tray?

It has already been said that before cleaning the pallet, it is necessary to find out what material it is made of. For example, porcelain stoneware will be characterized by good strength and water resistance.

In order to remove from its surface all kinds of pollution, you should use special chemical compounds that are designed to clean natural or artificial stone.

In most cases, the impurities in the porcelain stoneware are not absorbed, although they can stay on its surface quite well, so in order to remove them, you do not have to make serious efforts.

With steel and acrylic, everything is much simpler, but it should be remembered that the enamel to which the steel is coated, as well as the acrylic itself, are not too strong, so it is undesirable to damage them. In this regard, it is forbidden to use abrasive cleaning compounds, since they can seriously scratch the surface. It is better to take liquid funds, which will dissolve the dirt and remove them from the surface.

Many owners of shower cabins in bathrooms have faced the fact that the doors, walls and drip tray of the cabin are often contaminated, and therefore, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the material that describes how to clean the shower.

Any shower can be cleaned and cleaned, but it is much easier to do if done on time, but because it is worth knowing not only about chemical means and mechanical methods of cleaning, but also about the permanent prevention of shower surfaces.

How to protect the shower from contamination?

First of all, we advise you timely airing. That is, having taken a shower, the cabin should be left ajar, as well as the doors to the bathroom.
Naturally, after foam and soapy stains on the windows, it is desirable to rinse the surface of the cabin from the shower head.
In addition, it is recommended to wash the shower in time, about 2 times a week, using a soft washcloth and simple cleansers for this.

Adhering to just a few rules of the simplest prevention and timely care of the shower, you can very easily extend the life of it in its pure form.

Basic means for cleaning the shower cubicle

As we already mentioned above, there are two main ways to clean the surfaces of the car from plaque, dirt, fungus and so on.

Chemical cleaners for shower cabins

Pastes and creams to remove difficult contaminants.
Liquid, soft means for constant cleaning.
Foam, for preventive cleaning of the surfaces of the shower.
Sprays to polish glass and metal surfaces.

Mechanical means for cleaning shower cabins

Sponges for ordinary, daily car wash.
Brushes and scrapers for hard-to-remove contaminants.
Napkins for polishes.
Steam generators for removing complex contaminants by softening.

How to wash the shower?

Naturally, the two methods mentioned above densely intersect each other, because they are ineffective separately, but it is necessary to do this carefully, and to combine the cleaning methods correctly. For example, sponges and brushes are well suited for working with creams and pastes for cleaning, a cleaning agent for shower cabins requires the use of a sponge, but for aerosol polishes, soft napkins are the most suitable.

Remember that when choosing a means for cleaning the shower, you must pay attention to its composition. The product should not contain strong acids, abrasives, alkalis, colorants, organic solvents. All this can ruin one of the elements of the cabin once and for all.

The simplest method is to clean the shower cubicle

Especially for people who want to keep the shower, and the bathroom in general, clean, we offer the simplest way to clean the surfaces of the shower.

First of all, you need to wash off all possible contaminations with warm water and a washcloth, so that hard stains appear under the layer of a standard coating. It can be rust, lime scale, other pollution.

Now that we see where the largest amount of dirt has accumulated, it will be easier for us to work. We choose a special tool that will help clean off this or that contamination, and for 15-20 minutes we put it on the surface. Then you just have to wait, and after a while, rub the dirt with a brush. After, wait another 10 minutes, and wash off the contamination with a washcloth and cool water. If the stains do not go away, you should use a special cleaning chemistry, which is not intended for general cleaning, but, for example, for calcareous deposits and rust.

Such means on the market mass - Sillit, Domestos, Mr. Muscle and others, but they should be chosen carefully, not by smell and color, but strictly according to characteristics.

Also, special equipment can be used to clean complicated contaminants, but it is quite expensive, and therefore, it is much easier sometimes to carry out preventive maintenance and avoid complex stains and contaminations.
