Step 2 – Treat doors with a TPC surface protector to provide an effective water seal.
Step 3 - Keep mildew away by wiping or using a squeegee after every shower and occasionally spray with a mildew inhibitor and disinfectant.
Step 4 - Leave the shower door slightly open and allow fresh air to circulate to prevent mildew growth.
Step 5 - Remove hard-water deposits with a solution of white vinegar and water.
Step 6 - Periodically use a little liquid fabric softener and warm water to clean soap scum from the shower doors.
Step 7 – Keep showerheads leak-free and be sure the water stream is aimed away from crevices and gaps.
