Clear glass shower doors?

Posted by Jon Danniken on October 22, 2009, 12:03 am

So I'm redoing the bathroom with a tub surround and some bypass doors for
showering. I had figured on using obscured glass doors, but I might have a
bead on a good deal for some doors with clear glass.

My concern is that clear glass shower doors will reveal any soap scum on
them a lot quicker than obscured glass versions.

So, what kind of cleaning routine will be necessary with clear glass shower
doors vs. obscured glass shower doors?

Thanks,

Jon

Wipe them down with a squeegee right after the shower.

Hmmm, thanks Ricod. I don't know how consistent I'd be with that
however....

I hear ya. But Dow Scrubbing Bubbles would make cleaning
the glass a snap. If I had to have shower doors again I'd get
the clear glass, myself. I really hate the old style glass doors.

Excellent advice. My wife and I have followed this procedure for years.
