To keep your shower screens shiny and in good condition, remember this golden rule: regular maintenance is required. But every how many days?
Shower screens are surfaces that are extremely exposed to stains and deposits. Limescale, soap and shampoo residue, mold: these insidious enemies can dull your shine much more quickly than you might think. The big question then remains: how often should you really clean your shower screens to keep them spotless?
Although it is advisable to clean your shower thoroughly once a week, if you want to avoid seeing marks and mold appear on the walls and walls, you will have to polish them much more often than you imagine. But don’t worry, we’re not talking about a big cleaning where you have to scrub, but rather a small gesture to adopt daily.
To keep walls clean and streak-free, daily express cleaning is essential. While deep cleaning isn’t necessary every day, quick attention after every shower makes a world of difference. Use a squeegee to remove excess water from the walls and prevent limescale and soap residue from settling there. This step, which only takes a few seconds, also prevents the growth of mold due to stagnant humidity. In addition to the squeegee, a simple microfiber cloth can be used to remove any droplets left on the surface. This gesture reduces the accumulation of difficult-to-remove stains and guarantees long-lasting shine.
Even if daily maintenance helps limit clogging, it is crucial to thoroughly clean the shower screens at least once a week. This cleaning aims to eliminate invisible residues, such as encrusted mineral deposits or greasy films left by care products.
To do this, use a mixture of white vinegar and lukewarm water, known for its descaling and disinfecting properties. Spray the solution on the walls, leave for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge. Finally, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a squeegee or clean cloth. Thanks to the little daily cleaning, this weekly maintenance will be simplified. No more intensive and tedious cleaning sessions. It is much simpler to remove recent deposits than to overcome an encrusted layer of limescale or solidified soap.
If your walls haven’t been cleaned in a while, don’t panic. For refurbishment, you can use specific products for descaling and disinfection, available commercially, or opt for a homemade solution based on baking soda and vinegar. Leave these products on for a little longer and scrub with a soft brush or sponge. Once the walls are restored, immediately adopt the daily and weekly routine to avoid further problems.
