How to Clean and Care For Your New Shower/Bath

April 18, 2023

When it comes to renovating your bathroom, choosing the right shower or bath enclosure for your home can be a big decision. Showers and baths are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance and luxury to their bathrooms. Not only do they look beautiful, but they’re also easy to maintain. With the right care and maintenance, you can enjoy the benefits of your shower or bath for many years.

Use the Right Cleaning Solution

When it comes to cleaning your shower or bath, it’s essential to use the right cleaning solution. Avoid using any abrasive or acidic cleaners that could damage the surface. Instead, opt for a mild, non-abrasive cleaner that’s specifically designed for natural stone surfaces. Before applying the cleaner, always test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure it won't damage the surface.

Wipe Surfaces Immediately

After applying the cleaning solution, wipe surfaces clean immediately with a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Don’t allow the cleaner to soak, as it could damage the surface. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces. If you let the surfaces air dry after cleaning, you may notice water spots, which can be difficult to remove.

Remove Soap Scum Regularly

Soap scum can build up on your shower or bath over time if not cleaned regularly. To remove soap scum, you can use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and warm water. Apply the cleaner to a soft sponge or cloth and gently scrub the surface. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean cloth.

Be Careful with Sharp Objects

Showers and baths are durable, but they can still scratch if you're not careful. Avoid using sharp objects like razors or metal tools on the surface, as they can scratch the finish. Also, be careful not to drop any heavy objects like shampoo bottles or soap dishes on the surface, as they can cause chips or cracks.

Schedule Professional Maintenance

To keep your shower or bath looking new, it’s essential to schedule regular professional maintenance. A professional cleaning and sealing service can help remove any stubborn stains or buildup that you can’t remove yourself. They can also help to repair any chips, cracks, or other damage to the surface.

Maureen P.

“From start to finish everyone on the team has been excellent. Harrison in sales, Brianca in the office and Ben & Shane for install. Ben and Shane went above and beyond to make the bathroom look great and eased my bride’s trepidations. Even went as far as putting up beadboard behind the vanity to clean it up. Would recommend to everyone.”

“I’m so happy with our new bathroom! Wonder communicated with us throughout the process so we knew what to except. The work ended up taking about 3 and a half days instead of the initially planned 3 days, but the guys working on it did a great job.”

Ashley R.

“We have used Wonder Windows to replace all of our windows and have had great experiences. The windows are top-notch quality. From selecting the windows with Tom Garman, having the window space carefully measured by Steve Klaver, and working with Bill Cue to install the windows, the experience has been phenomenal. A great team with a wonderful product.”

Just did a great job very personable. It’s nice to know if I have another issue there will be someone that will take care of that promptly for me”
