- Always use a mild soap or glass cleaning solution
- Do not use soaps, shower products, or cleaning products that contain abrasives or are acid based when cleaning the shower enclosure.
- Be careful not to scratch the surface during cleaning. Do not use cleaning mixture containing bleaching ingredients/chlorine.
- Keep the surface clean of any kind of material attachments or contaminants, such as dust, particles, dirty liquid, fingerprints or stains.
