Care instructions
EnduroShield acts as an invisible shield, bonding to your glass to help protect against dirt, grime, and soap scum. It repels both water, making surfaces easy to clean while preserving their appearance. With EnduroShield, your cleaning time will be reduced and the surface will be easier to clean. Please follow the below steps to maintain your protected surfaces,
Shower Glass
Daily Care (Just a Few Seconds)
- Squeegee or Dry: After each use, wipe the glass with a squeegee or dry it with a microfiber cloth to remove water drops. This helps prevent mineral spots and keeps the glass cleaner longer.
Weekly and As-Needed Cleaning (Just a Few Minutes)
- Mild Soap Solution: Clean once a week or as needed with a microfiber cloth dampened with white vinegar and a drop of mild, non-abrasive liquid soap (like dish soap). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
For Mineral Buildup or Soap Scum
- Light Buildup: Spray undiluted white vinegar on the glass, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Repeat as needed.
- Heavy Buildup: Dampen a Magic Eraser with vinegar or CLR (Calcium Lime Rust remover) and gently scrub the area. Rinse and dry. Repeat if necessary.
Pro Tips
- Haze Removal: If the glass appears hazy after installation, wipe it with an alcohol (like rubbing, denatured, or isopropanol), then rinse with clear water and dry. This will remove the haze.
- Best Results: For best results, wipe down the glass after each use with a good-quality squeegee. This will reduce mineral spotting and keep the glass cleaner between cleans.
- Professional Cleaners: Provide them with these instructions to ensure they follow the correct procedures and maintain your warranty.
Interior Glass (Excluding Shower Glass)
- Mild Soap Solution: Clean as needed with a microfiber cloth dampened with white vinegar and a drop of mild, non-abrasive liquid soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- For Mineral Buildup: Use undiluted white vinegar on a microfiber cloth to gently rub the glass. Repeat if needed. For heavier buildup, use a Magic Eraser dampened with CLR (Calcium Lime Rust remover).
Pro Tips
- Haze Removal: If the glass appears hazy after installation, wipe it with an alcohol (like rubbing, denatured, or isopropanol), then rinse with clear water and dry. This will remove the haze.
- Professional Cleaners: Provide them with these instructions to ensure they follow the correct procedures and maintain your warranty
Exterior Glass
- Clean as needed with a mild detergent and water using a t-bar mop assembly and squeegee. For light buildup wipe down the glass with a microfiber cloth dampened with white vinegar and a drop of non-abrasive liquid soap (hand, body, or dish). Rinse and dry.
Pro Tips
- Haze Removal: If the glass appears hazy after installation, wipe it with an alcohol (like rubbing, denatured, or isopropanol), then rinse with clear water and dry. This will remove the haze.
- Best Results: Clean the glass when covered with shade to prevent streaking. In areas prone to salt build-up or dust build-up, rinse off excess contaminants with fresh water before cleaning.

Tile & grout
Clean shower tiles and grout each week. Other tiles such as backsplashes and floor tiles can be cleaned as required. Use diluted white vinegar and/or a mild detergent with a damp microfiber cloth to remove soap scum and grime from the tiled surface.
Stainless steel & chrome
General cleaning of interior stainless steel and chrome treated surfaces can be done with warm water and a microfiber cloth, then allowed to dry. For tougher stains use with a mild detergent or an all purpose spray-on cleaner and then buff dry. Exterior surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water and a microfiber cloth, then rinsed with fresh water. For best results rub in the direction of the grain.
What to avoid
Note: These may damage the treatment and void any warranty
- Abrasives including water spot removers, toothpaste, polishes, Norwex Cloths, rough, or gritty substances
- Acids or Alkalis that you would not want in contact for your skin for an extended period of time
- Cleaners that include Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), bleach, tilex or anything with sodium hydroxide should not be used on your shower glass.
- Harsh or chemical cleaners. With correct maintenance, these are not required.
Acceptable cleaning products
While all that should be needed to keep the glass looking clean are a squeegee, good quality mild liquid soap, and white vinegar, occasionally we are asked to recommend specific products. Some major brand cleaners are listed below, but keep in mind they should not be necessary, and often have very limited benefits in removing either soap or mineral buildup.
- Windex® (Standard, vinegar, alcohol, ammonia)
- SprayWay® (or other alcohol-based foaming cleaners)
- 7th Generation®, Dawn® (or other mild eco-friendly cleaners)
- CLR® (Calcium Lime Rust)
- Mild liquid soaps (like Dawn, Mrs. Myers)
It should be noted that with any cleaner used on the EnduroShield surface a thorough rinse with clean water should follow immediately. Although these cleaners can be used instead of the suggested maintenance, EnduroShield is designed to be an ‘easy clean coating’ that requires only vinegar and/or a mild detergent that does not contain harsh or toxic chemicals to maintain the surface effectively.
Approved Squeegees
We recommend the EnduroShield Professional Squeegee, Oxo good grips, Ettore or Pulux branded squeegees due to the high-quality rubber blade.

Hard water areas
In hard water areas, or areas where water drops dry and leave a noticeable dust mark, a build of minerals may occur on the protective treatment.
- Light buildup: Spray undiluted white vinegar on the glass and allow to remain for several minutes. Spray again and firmly wipe down the glass with a microfiber, rinse, and dry. Repeat as needed until the glass is clean.
- Moderate to Heavy buildup: Spray undiluted white vinegar on the glass and allow to soak for several minutes. Dampen a Magic Eraser® or other melamine cleaning pad with vinegar, and wipe down the glass with light to moderate pressure. Repeat as needed with more vinegar until the glass is clean.
- Extreme buildup: Dampen a Magic Eraser® or other melamine cleaning pad with undiluted CLR® (Calcium Lime Rust remover) and a drop of liquid soap. Rub with light to moderate pressure for a few minutes, squeeze out the pad, and repeat with more CLR®. Rinse and dry the glass to inspect, and repeat as needed until the glass is clean.
Important: Keep in mind that as the vinegar or CLR® are dissolving mineral buildup they become less effective. It is beneficial to squeeze out and dampen every few minutes for best effect. Once ALL buildup has been removed, the water should again bead into tall, round drops on the clean surface.
