| 823530 | 2009-10-23 18:53:00 | I have built homes over the last few years and keeping shower glass pristene has been no problem. However, I have now just bought a 10 year old house where the glass has not been properly maintained and appears to be etched by soap over a long period of time. I have used "Showerpower" which has made a difference but the glass is still not clear and bright. Has anyone got experience in revitalising shower glass? |

| 823532 | 2009-10-23 19:30:00 | A bit off topic but I have heard that shower gel causes less problem than regular soap. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 823533 | 2009-10-23 20:11:00 | The 'etching' marks are not so much caused by soap, but by the chemicals in the water . Some areas are far worse than others . I tried several products and eventually found the only way to get rid of most of the marks was using a product "C-thru" I think Mitre10 sell it . It requires a lot of elbow grease and working in the confines of a shower isn't all that pleasant . I sectioned off areas and worked over a few days until I got the result I wanted and a very sore wrist!! :lol: I just wish it could be applied by some cordless power tool . There is also a finishing product that helps protect . You could also try ceramic stove top cleaner as that works on a slight abrasion method . A squeegee down after each shower, or a rough towelling will help keep it clear, but I think you probably know that . Good luck . Marnie |

| 823534 | 2009-10-23 20:32:00 | the glass is still not clear and bright. Do you actually NEED shower glass to be clear? :eek: (unless of course you bought the house to on-sell) |

Once it's clean, use Shower Power - spray on, wipe all over and leave it until the next person showers. Rinse then. You could also give the white vinegar and baking soda a go. |

| 823538 | 2009-12-12 21:24:00 | If it is just water stains then use Isopropyl Alcohol or Methylated spirits diluted in water. Use a soft sponge cloth. Try the Isopropyl on your cars windscreen. The water just slides off. |

| 823539 | 2009-12-12 22:55:00 | HI Zipperty. In the past all we have done is use one of those rubber type scrapers that window cleaners use. Use it straight after a shower to clean off all the water and any soap. If after a period there is some build up, use showerpower and again after rinsing merely use the scraper. We never had any problems but it is regime you must get use to. |
