To effectively dry a shower door, you should first squeegee most of the water off and then follow up by using a microfiber cloth to dry the glass completely.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
Steps to Drying Your Shower Door:
-
Squeegee: After each shower, use a squeegee to remove the bulk of the water from the shower door. This prevents water spots and mineral buildup.
-
Microfiber Cloth: Once you've squeegeed, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the glass. This will remove any remaining water and streaks, leaving your shower door sparkling.
- Microfiber cloth advantages: Microfiber cloths are highly absorbent and help to pick up any remaining water droplets and minerals without scratching the glass.
- Regular Laundering: Remember to regularly wash your microfiber cloths. It's recommended to launder microfiber cloths every one or two uses to maintain their effectiveness when drying your shower door.
Benefits of Drying Your Shower Door:
- Prevents Water Spots: By removing water after showering, you significantly reduce the chance of developing unsightly water spots.
- Reduces Soap Scum: Water often contains minerals and soap residue, and when water evaporates, these can accumulate as soap scum. Drying minimizes this.
- Maintains Cleanliness: A dry shower door stays cleaner longer and reduces the need for deep cleaning.
Why Use a Microfiber Cloth?
| Feature | Microfiber Cloth | Regular Cloth |
|---|---|---|
| Absorbency | High | Lower |
| Streak-Free | Yes | Can leave streaks |
| Gentleness | Very gentle, won't scratch glass | May cause scratches if not smooth |
| Lint | Low lint | May leave lint on the surface |
By consistently drying your shower door using these methods, you will keep it looking clean and clear.
