Helpful Tips for You
Maximize the value and longevity of your newly renovated shower with these practical tips:
Prepare Your Bathroom Before Renovation: Clear out personal items and protect surrounding areas. It makes the renovation smoother and faster.
- Tip: Cover vents and open doorways to keep dust from spreading throughout your home.
Choose Water-Resistant Paint: When updating the walls around your shower, select high-quality, water-resistant paint to prevent moisture damage.
- Tip: Opt for mildew-resistant formulas to reduce maintenance.
Seal Grout Regularly: To keep tiles looking fresh and prevent mold growth, re-seal the grout lines every 6-12 months.
- Tip: Use a clear, waterproof grout sealer for easy application.
Use a Daily Shower Spray: Spray a mild, homemade solution (water, vinegar, and essential oils) after each use to prevent soap scum and mildew.
- Tip: This quick step keeps your shower sparkling and minimizes deep-cleaning needs.
Install a Shower Caddy or Shelves: Keep products organized and off the shower floor. It not only declutters the space but also reduces water pooling and residue buildup.
- Tip: Choose rust-proof materials like stainless steel or tempered glass for a sleek look.
Optimize Ventilation: Always use an exhaust fan during and after your shower to minimize humidity and protect your bathroom’s surfaces.
- Tip: Leave the fan running for 15-20 minutes after each shower for optimal moisture control.
Maintenance and Aftercare
To ensure your beautiful new shower remains in pristine condition, follow these simple maintenance practices:
- Wipe Down After Use: Use a squeegee or microfiber cloth to wipe down the walls and doors after every shower. This prevents water spots and reduces mildew.
- Deep Clean Weekly: Once a week, clean tiles and glass surfaces using non-abrasive cleaners to keep everything gleaming.
- Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect for any signs of leaks around the shower edges or in the grout. Early detection can prevent bigger issues.
- Clean Drain Regularly: Remove hair and soap residue from the drain to keep water flowing smoothly and prevent clogs.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach or acidic cleaners that can damage grout and corrode fixtures. Stick to pH-neutral, bathroom-safe products.
Actions to Avoid
- No Abrasive Scrubbing: Avoid using rough sponges or steel wool, as these can scratch and dull the surface of your tiles and glass.
- Don’t Hang Wet Towels: Wet towels can add excess moisture, increasing the risk of mold. Instead, hang them outside the bathroom to dry.
For long-term durability, consider scheduling a professional check-up every few years to ensure everything remains in top shape.
