But that doesn’t mean they don’t need your help now and then to prevent the build-up of soap scum, mildew and hard-water lime scale from damaging and dulling the anodized and powder-coated aluminium framework.
Over time these irritants can leave your Pivotech shower screen looking dull and tired, which is why it’s important you know how to effectively care for your new shower screen. Thankfully, you won’t need to spend hours scrubbing your shower screen or shopping for specialist cleaning agents.
☐ Shower screen installation is complete? Find time for a quick clean to make sure any installation materials are removed before they can harden (e.g. concrete, paint splashes and plaster).
☐ Wipe all surfaces clean with a non-abrasive cloth, warm water, and a non-abrasive pH neutral detergent.
☐ Avoid abrasive household cleaners, hard brushes, steel wool or excessive rubbing to ensure you don’t damage or wear down the finish.
☐ Facing stubborn dirty? Use a mild detergent and soft sponge or soft brush to remove hardy residue.
☐ Finish by rinsing all surfaces after cleaning to keep your new shower screen sparkling morning, afternoon and night.
Just as important as knowing how to clean your Pivotech shower screen is knowing what to avoid.
When you break the pattern of built-up mineral deposits and soap scum with the cleaning tips outlined above you’ll have a shower that shines every day, with less cleaning required on your end.
To minimise your cleaning responsibilities (let’s face it, you’ve got better ways to enjoy your weekend), avoid the following cleaning solutions.
✘ Don’t use cleaners containing Hydrofluoric or Phosphoric Acid
✘ Don’t use acidic, alkaline or abrasive cleaning products
✘ Don’t use bleach, scourers or harsh detergents on your shower screen frame
✘ Don’t clean shower glass in hot or direct sunlight (avoid extreme temperatures in general)
✘ Don’t apply tapes or adhesives to your shower screen as these may stain or damage glass
We know that’s a lot of warnings, so we’ll leave you with a more positive tip - enjoy daily showers behind a screen that combines fashion and function, with the highest quality materials and workmanship!
The right shower screen transforms any home and leaves your bathroom looking lighter and brighter.
