Custom glass shower doors bring a sleek, luxurious look to any bathroom—but without the right care, hard water stains and soap scum can dull that brilliance fast. At Griffin Glass Company, we install stunning frameless shower doors across Griffin, GA and beyond, and we know that just a little maintenance can keep your glass looking showroom-fresh for years.
Whether you’ve just upgraded your bathroom or you’re reviving your current setup, this easy guide will help you keep your glass shower door clean, clear, and crystal bright.

1. Squeegee After Every Shower
It’s the fastest fix for long-term clarity—and it only takes 10 seconds.
- Removes water droplets that leave hard water stains
- Prevents soap scum buildup
- Keeps glass sparkling with zero scrubbing
Pro tip: Hang a squeegee in your shower with a suction hook so it’s always within reach. At Griffin Glass Company, we even offer installation options with built-in hooks for convenience.
2. DIY Vinegar Spray for Quick Cleaning
A natural and effective solution for day-to-day touch-ups:
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and water
- Spray on glass, let sit for 5 minutes
- Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth
For extra cleaning power, add a drop of dish soap. Just remember: Avoid using vinegar on natural stone tiles—it can cause damage.
3. Use Talc-Free Soaps to Prevent Scum
Switch your soap and skip the scum!
- Avoid talc-heavy bar soaps—they leave behind tough residue
- Use liquid body wash, shower gel, or glycerin soap
- Reduces buildup, making your cleaning job much easier
Griffin homeowners who make this simple change often notice a huge difference in glass clarity within days.
4. Deep Clean Weekly
No matter how careful you are, a weekly clean keeps everything in top shape:
- Spray with vinegar solution or a gentle glass cleaner
- Let it soak in for 5–10 minutes
- Scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge
- Rinse with warm water
- Dry with a clean microfiber towel to avoid streaks
Avoid harsh chemicals—they can damage your glass coating or seals.
5. Use a Water-Repellent Glass Coating
Cut down on cleaning time with a protective barrier:
- Products like Rain-X for shower doors help repel water and soap scum
- Works hand-in-hand with your daily squeegee routine
- Helps preserve that “just installed” look
Ask us about protective coatings when you schedule your custom glass installation. We offer upgrades that keep your shower looking new with minimal effort.
6. Clean Tracks and Hinges Too
If your shower has tracks or hardware, keep them gunk-free:
- Scrub with an old toothbrush to dislodge grime
- Wipe hardware with a damp cloth
- Tighten loose screws every few months
Clean hardware means smoother operation and a longer-lasting door.
