Hard water stains on glass shower doors can be frustrating to remove. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem that is sure to make your glass shower doors sparkle again. In this blog post, we will walk you through how to remove hard water deposits from glass shower doors like a professional using Bar Keepers Friend!
Bar Keepers Friend is a cleaning product that contains oxalic acid, which is a natural and effective way to remove hard water deposits from glass surfaces. It also contains tiny abrasive particles which are gentle enough not to scratch glass but pack some serious scouring power, which makes it an ideal choice for cleaning shower doors.
Step 1: Preparation
Make sure to put on gloves before starting the cleaning process as oxalic acid can be harsh on your skin and nails. If you are worried about inhaling some of the powder, put on a face mask!
Step 2: Apply Bar Keepers Friend
Apply some Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser onto a damp non-scratch sponge. Scrub Daddy Eraser Daddy is my favorite tool for this as they truly are non-scratch, don't disintegrate, and remain firm in cold water for ultimate scrubbing power!
Step 3: Scrub the Surface
With your Bar Keepers Friend coated sponge, scrub the shower door–pay extra attention to the areas with hard water stains. You may notice that the build-up will start to disappear as you scrub. If the stains are particularly stubborn, you can let the product sit on the glass for a few minutes before scrubbing.
Step 4: Rinse
Once you have finished scrubbing the shower door, thoroughly rinse it with water to remove any residue left by the product. If you are finding there is a white film or streaks left after cleaning, you haven’t rinsed it enough!
Step 5: Dry the Door
After rinsing, use a clean, dry cloth to dry the shower door. This will prevent any water spots from forming on the glass surface. There is no need to follow this process with a glass cleaner, however, these glass cloths from Microfiber Wholesale are perfect for drying the door in a way that will leave no streaks and remove any lingering product.
These few simple steps will make your shower doors look like new again! To help prevent hard water deposits on glass doors, consider applying a coat of Rain-X or home ceramic coating. A simple squeegee used after showering will do the trick too, but who has time for that?? Happy cleaning!
