Step 1: Gather the necessary tools and supplies
Before you start cleaning your solid surface shower, you'll need the following tools and supplies:
1) A mild bathroom cleaner (check that the cleaner is recommended for solid surface cleaning).
2) A soft, non-abrasive cloth (avoid scouring pads or hard brushes that could scratch the shower surface).
3) A rubber or silicone squeegee to remove water after showering.
4) A sponge for stubborn stains.
Step 2: Clean the shower
Start by wetting the shower with hot water to loosen the dirt. Next, apply the cleaner to the shower surface and leave it to stand for about five minutes to allow the product to work.
Use a soft cloth to scrub the shower surface in a solid surface using circular movements. Make sure you clean all the nooks and crannies of the shower.
If you have stubborn stains, you can use a slightly abrasive sponge to remove them. Avoid using abrasive tools or products that could damage the shower surface.
In the kit we supply for solid surface maintenance, you'll find a slightly abrasive sponge that can be used if the stains persist and won't come out.
Step 3: Rinse the shower
Rinse the solid surface shower with hot water to remove the cleaner. Make sure all traces of product have been removed, otherwise repeat step 1.
Step 4: Dry the shower
Use a rubber or silicone scraper to remove water from the shower surface. This will help prevent water stains and marks left by limescale or the cleaning product you've used before.
You can also use a soft cloth to wipe the shower surface clean. Make sure the surface is completely dry before leaving the bathroom.
