Bath Enclosure Cleaning Guide
We at ECGI want our customers to experience years of enjoyment using our quality
bath enclosures. In order to answer the inevitable questions concerning the care and
cleaning of our enclosures, we have developed this Bath Enclosure Cleaning Guide.
Many people have found that treating the glass on the inside of your enclosure with
water repellant treatments, such as Rain-X or Invisible Shield, prior to the initial use
will seal the pores of the glass and promote ease of cleaning. This can be repeated as
necessary throughout the life of your enclosure. ECGI also offers Enduro Shield
Protective Coating , which is a permanent non-stick coating .
The safest way to insure that your bath enclosure stays looking new and spotless is
through adopting a daily regimen of rinsing the enclosure with clean water and then
wiping the metal and glass after use with a non-abrasive cloth or squeegee. By doing
this, you will remove residue from the enclosure, and water spots will be kept to a
minimum.
Often, the tap water we use is so “hard” that mineral deposits remain on the glass and
metal after the water dries. If you find there is still debris on your enclosure after
drying, use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to complete the job. Note: Brass towel bars,
C-pulls and other brass hardware should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use any detergent or cleanser.
Tests have shown that:
• Some of the cleaners completely destroy the metal finish within 5 minutes of
application!
• Cleaners that contain Vinegar, Ammonia, Bleach and/or Acid-Based chemicals
should never be used and can severely damage your enclosures metal finish.
• Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads should be avoided as they, too, will
damage the metal and glass components.
• Many leave-on, misting cleaners can damage polymer parts on your enclosure
and should also be avoided.
With the right cleaner and a minimal amount of daily maintenance, your enclosure
will stay looking new for years to come!
