Maintaining Your Shower Enclosure: The Fleurco Advantage

With summer comes increased shower usage, necessitating frequent cleaning. Fleurco's innovative designs and technology make maintaining your shower enclosure effortless, allowing you to enjoy your summer without the hassle of constant cleaning. From Microtek glass protection to Fibo by Fleurco wall systems and easy-to-clean shower bases, Fleurco products are designed with convenience in mind. Here are some tips on how to keep your shower enclosure spotless and how our products simplify maintenance.

Microtek Glass Protection

The majority of Fleurco shower doors come equipped with Microtek glass protection, an invisible coating that effectively repels water and prevents the buildup of soap scum, grime, and stains. This advanced technology significantly reduces the need for frequent scrubbing and the use of harsh chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly choice. With Fleurco’s Microtek repellent coating, maintaining clean glass is a stress-free process ensuring a serene and hygienic shower experience.

FAQ: What’s Easier to Clean, Framed or Frameless Shower Doors?

Frameless shower doors are generally easier to clean as they lack metal frames where water, soap scum, and residue are often stuck. This design simplicity reduces the areas where dirt and grime accumulate, making the cleaning process more straightforward and less time-consuming.

Fibo by Fleurco Wall Systems

Shower walls can be challenging to clean, primarily due to grout lines that retain mold and grime. Fibo by Fleurco wall systems offer a grout-less solution, providing a variety of styles that are easy to clean. Thanks to the patented Aqualock click system, these walls ensure a 100% waterproof surface*, significantly simplifying maintenance. Proper installation using Fibo Seal and other approved accessories is essential to maintain a waterproof and hygienic environment.

* Fibo sealant required

Cleaning Fibo by Fleurco Walls

• Use an alkaline-neutral detergent with lukewarm water for daily/weekly cleaning
• For lime and rust deposits, use an acidic detergent with a pH of 1-5 and cold water
• Remove soap and grime with an acidic detergent (pH 3-5) or suitable household cleaning products
• For stains, use spray products or liquid scouring creams and rinse thoroughly
• Regularly clean sealant to prevent fungi growth; if damaged, replace per the installation manual

FAQ: What Household Cleaning Products Can Be Used with Fibo by Fleurco Shower Walls?

Fibo by Fleurco walls can be cleaned with non-abrasive dish soap and a warm water solution. Other suitable products include Fantastik without bleach, Formula 409, and Windex ammonia-free.

Maintaining Fleurco Shower Bases

Shower bases can attract soap scum, hard water deposits, and bacteria if not properly maintained. Follow these tips to keep your shower base fresh and hygienic all the time:

• After each use, rinse the shower base with warm water
• Ensure the base is dried to prevent hard water stains
• Use a mild detergent diluted in water for cleaning, avoiding harsh cleaners
• Protect the surface by avoiding scouring powders, pads, or strong solvents

FAQ: Which is easier to clean: Acrylic or Solid Surface Bases?

Acrylic bases require minimal maintenance, needing only a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaners.

Solid surface materials are non porous and stain-resistant. They can be cleaned with water and non-abrasive household cleaners. For matte finishes, mild abrasive cleaners are acceptable. Occasional stains or abrasions can be buffed out with a scouring pad.

While both are easy to clean, acrylic shower bases offer a slight advantage in ease of maintenance.
