What regular cleaning should I be doing for my Walk-In Shower?
Regular cleaning is key to keeping your walk-in shower safe, fresh, and in top condition. This includes ventilating the room after each use, wiping surfaces weekly, and giving fixtures and fittings a little extra care each month.
Keeping your walk-in shower clean and well-maintained doesn’t just make it look and smell great—it also helps prevent problems like mold, limescale, and blocked drains. Here’s an easy guide to regular cleaning:
After Every Use:
-
Ventilate: Leave the door or window open after each shower to allow airflow. This helps dry out the room and keeps mold and mildew at bay.
Weekly Cleaning:
-
Wipe the Basin: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the shower basin, focusing on the area around the drain to prevent soap scum and water stains.
-
Wipe the Toilet: If your bathroom includes a toilet, wipe it down with warm soapy water, especially under the seat, to keep things hygienic and fresh.
-
Clean Walls: Gently wipe down the walls with a mild bathroom cleaner and a damp cloth to remove any soap scum or water spots.
-
Clean Screens & Fixtures: For glass screens, use a dry cloth to avoid streaks. Taps and drain covers can be wiped with a damp cloth—just be gentle to avoid scratching.
-
Clean the Shower Drain: Remove the drain cover and any water-filled pot inside. Clear away any debris, rinse with warm soapy water, then replace everything.
-
Clean the Floor: Sweep or vacuum first to remove dirt, then mop with warm soapy water. Let it dry fully to prevent slips.
-
Wipe Silicone Seals: Use a dry cloth to wipe down silicone-sealed areas. This helps prevent mold and keeps the seals in good condition.
Monthly Cleaning:
-
Clean the Shower Head: Remove and rinse the shower head thoroughly with warm soapy water to get rid of any limescale and maintain good water flow.
Important Caution:
-
Avoid Bleach on Chrome: Never use bleach on chrome fittings, as it can damage them. Stick to mild cleaners designed for chrome to keep them shiny and protected.
