How can I clean and maintain my shower enclosure to prevent leaks and corrosion?

Simple daily habits that prevent mineral deposits and mould from forming go a long way in maintaining your shower enclosure and ensuring it stays in good condition for years to come. To prevent the build-up of limescale and mildew:

• After every shower, use a rubber squeegee to wipe down the glass and tile walls. This removes 80-90% of the water and prevents the minerals (limescale) and soap scum from drying and etching the glass.
• Use a microfibre cloth or towel to quickly wipe down the bottom track, the door seals/gaskets, and any metal frame. Water often pools here, leading to mildew on seals and rust on metal over time.
• Run your bathroom’s extractor fan for at least 15-20 minutes after you finish showering, or open a window. This removes humidity, which is the main culprit for mildew on the seals.
• Give the walls, doors and tray a quick rinse with warm water after every shower to wash away residual soap and shampoo. Avoid using bar soap, as the talc it contains creates more soap scum than liquid soap/gel.
