Cleaning Guide

Glass
Shower glass needs to be cleaned each week using a damp microfibre cloth and a mild detergent (such as washing up liquid) to remove any soap scum, dirt or grime from the surface. For outdoor glass surfaces such as railings, pool fencing and windows, clean as required using water and a mild detergent . Wash the glass with a microfibre cloth, and dry with a good quality squeegee (such as Ettore or Pulex brands). For best results clean the glass in the shade to prevent streaking.
-
Tile & grout
Clean shower tiles and grout each week. Other tiles such as splashbacks and floor tiles can be cleaned as required. Use diluted white vinegar and/or a mild detergent with a damp microfibre cloth to remove soap scum and grime from the tiled surface.
-
Stainless steel & chrome
General cleaning of interior stainless steel and chrome treated surfaces can be done with warm water and a microfibre cloth, then allowed to dry. For tougher stains use with a mild detergent or an all purpose spray-on cleaner and then buff dry. Exterior surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth, then rinsed with fresh water. For best results rub in the direction of the grain.

What to avoid
Be careful not to use any rough, gritty, abrasive, highly acidic or alkaline cleaners as they may damage the protective coating. This includes products such as Comet (powder), Ajax, or cerium oxide which damage or polish back the actual substrate.

It should be noted that with any cleaner used on the EnduroShield surface a thorough rinse with clean water should follow immediately. Although these cleaners can be used instead of the suggested maintenance, EnduroShield is designed to be an ‘easy clean coating’ which requires only vinegar and/or a mild detergent that does not contain harsh or toxic chemicals to maintain the surface effectively. -
Tip for extreme hard water areas
Around the world there are some unique locations which have extremely harsh conditions. In some cases stubborn stains can occur in under 1 year. New Orleans, Louisiana and Perth, Western Australia are examples of cities with very high mineral concentrations. In these harshest of water environments, EnduroShield is a great choice. Without the protection of EnduroShield, your glass may have to be replaced or professionally restored.
EnduroShield allows you to have great looking glass, but it takes a little more work due to these specific environmental conditions. In such conditions, minerals are so prevalent in the water that they can still create a build up on top of the coating and become difficult to remove. We recommended using the vinegar / water solution (listed above) every week or so as a cleaning option to reduce this build up on the surface, rather than allowing the build up to accumulate over a long period of time.
