BATH ENCLOSURE CLEANING GUIDE

We at Southeastern Aluminum Products want our customers to experience years of enjoyment using our quality bath enclosures. 

In order to answer the inevitable questions concerning the care and cleaning of our enclosures, we have developed this owner's Bath Enclosure Cleaning Guide.

The surest way to insure that your bath enclosure stays looking new and spotless is through adopting a daily regimen of rinsing the enclosure with clean water and then wiping the metal and glass after use with a non-abrasive cloth or squeegee.  By doing this, you will not only remove soap scum and body oils from the enclosure but water spots will be kept to a minimum.  (Often, the tap water we use is so "hard" that mineral deposits remain on the glass and metal after the water dries.)

Many people have found that water repellant treatments, such as Rain-X or Invisible Shield or wax on the glass portion of their enclosures aid in keeping the glass looking "spotless."

Through independent testing conducted by the Bath Enclosure Manufacturers Association, we have found that Comet Heavy Duty Bathroom Cleaner works best at removing built-up soap scum and hard water film without damaging the glass and metal surfaces.

Many other common household products can be extremely harmful to the anodized aluminum on your enclosure and should be avoided.

Tests have shown that:

¨    Some of the cleaners completely destroy the metal finish within 5 minutes of application!

¨    Some popular glass cleaners contain Vinegar or Ammonia and can severely damage anodized finishes.

¨    Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, cleansers containing bleach, and acid-based cleaners should never be used on your enclosure as they, too, will damage the metal and glass components.

¨    Many so-called "leave on"  or  "misting" cleaners can damage the plastic parts on your enclosure and should also be avoided.

With the right cleaner and a minimal amount of daily maintenance, your enclosure will stay looking new for years to come!  For Additional Information, click on the BEMA icon below for a link to the Bath Enclosure Manufacturers Association's Cleaning Guide.
