Daily Cleaning
Regular cleaning of your glass shower wall is essential to prevent limescale and soap residue. After each shower, it is best to dry the wall with a drying cloth.

These drying cloths effortlessly absorb 800 ml of water and ensure a streak-free result. This prevents water droplets from drying and forming limescale. By following this routine daily, your shower wall will stay clean and free of deposits for longer.
Weekly Cleaning with Cleaning Vinegar

This will help remove limescale and make the glass shower door shine again. Use the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth for a long lasting cleaning experience.
