Investing in a shower door with a protective coating like Diamon-Fusion® is a fantastic choice for any bathroom. It not only enhances the appearance of your shower but also makes routine maintenance easier and more effective. However, even with a protective coating, a little care goes a long way in maintaining its clarity, shine, and durability. Hereā€™s a guide on how to keep your coated shower door in pristine condition for years to come.

1. Daily Care: Quick Wipe Down

A quick wipe-down after each use is one of the simplest ways to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup on your Diamon Fusion®-protected door. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a squeegee to remove any residual water. By taking a few seconds to do this daily, youā€™ll reduce mineral deposits and buildup, maintaining the clarity and cleanliness of the coating.

2. Weekly Cleaning Routine

Although Diamon Fusion® provides a high level of protection against water stains and grime, a gentle weekly clean will keep the door looking new. Use a non-abrasive, mild cleanser or soap, such as a diluted vinegar solution or a mild glass cleaner free from harsh chemicals and ammonia. Spray the cleaner, wipe gently with a microfiber cloth, and rinse thoroughly to avoid streaks.

3. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners and Tools

One of the advantages of Diamon Fusion® is that it eliminates the need for abrasive cleaning tools and products. Avoid using any scrubbing pads, scouring powders, or harsh brushes that might damage the coating. These can strip away the protective layer, reducing its effectiveness and leaving the glass vulnerable to stains and scratches.

4. Watch Out for Hard Water Spots

In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can still occur on coated glass. A coated shower door requires less aggressive cleaning than uncoated glass, but hard water can still leave small mineral traces. To prevent this, consider installing a water softener if possible, or regularly rinse the glass with a solution of water and vinegar to dissolve mineral buildup before it becomes noticeable.

5. Occasional Reapplication of Cleaner-Safe Coating Treatments

While Diamon Fusion® is designed to last, over time, the protective coating might start to wear due to regular use and exposure. If you notice that water isnā€™t beading as effectively, it may be time to apply a specialized cleaner or coating restorer designed for coated glass, available from most home improvement stores. This is typically only needed every few years, but it can greatly extend the life of your glass coating.

6. Inspect for Any Signs of Wear or Damage

Routine maintenance should include a periodic inspection of the coated surface to catch any signs of wear, damage, or diminished effectiveness. Look for any areas where water might not be beading up as it once did. If any damage is detected, reach out to your shower door installer or the Diamon Fusion® provider for guidance on repair or recoating options.

Conclusion

Caring for a Diamon Fusion®-coated shower door is simple, as the coating dramatically reduces the time and effort needed for maintenance. By following these straightforward steps, youā€™ll protect the investment youā€™ve made in your bathroom and enjoy a clean, sparkling shower door that looks brand new every day. The Diamon Fusion® coating is built to stand the test of time, but a little proactive maintenance will ensure it remains as effective as possible in keeping your shower door spotless and clear.
