Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Oct 05, 2008 9:20 pm I'd been told that using paper towel and methylated spirits is best to clean mirrors and glass top tables, but I tried this today on the shower screen, and it didn't do a whole lot. Even with the squeagy (no idea how to spell that) afterwards, it left all the water spots and stuff.
Does anyone have a special thing they use to get shower screens sparkling and totally clear? Domestos? Easy off Bam? Windex? A normal sponge? Those Magic White cube sponge things? A scourer? Steel wool? Thank you! How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 3Oct 05, 2008 9:38 pm The Enjo glove does work, but try getting out of an Enjo party with only buying one little glove! Thank God my days of attending any of those party plan type things are over ($$$$$$$!)
I find that those Magic White sponges are great - pretty much for cleaning anything actually and no nasty chemical smells or residue. be careful what you choose now GS - didn't you have a bad reaction to something the other day?

Craig Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 5Oct 06, 2008 6:54 am Hi Groutperfect, is there a "safe organic acid cleaner" available to the general public. If not, is there some other product we can use ? And how often does Nanokote need to be re-applied? Thanks Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 6Oct 06, 2008 7:23 am Hi
There are all types of acids on the market we use Viper Renew from carpet cleaners warehouse we mix it at 50/50. http://www.ccwonline.com.au/ Nanokote will last 5 years on a used shower screen and 10 years on a new shower screen but we are also trying a new cheaper product that works the same called glass sealer from sonitron. http://www.sonitron.com.au/ Craig Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 7Oct 06, 2008 8:44 am Hey Craig, have you used Sonitron's pre-sealing product "MAINTAINER" ( used for preparing areas before using glassSHIELD) ? Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 8Oct 06, 2008 8:47 am Gotta love those Magic white sponges.... they are fantastic. I use nothing else... no chemicals at all. They are also great for getting scuff maks off the floor and walls. I use ones called 'Balbo' pads. THey come in small squares or you can get the larger ones (bout 10 x 8cms) for the bathrooms. I get them from bigW. You can also get the chux brand from your local supermarket.

Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 9Oct 06, 2008 9:20 am Southies Hey Craig, have you used Sonitron's pre-sealing product "MAINTAINER" ( used for preparing areas before using glassSHIELD) ? I have not as of yet will soon though. Craig Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 10Oct 06, 2008 10:47 am I LOVE the magic white sponge thing too. It’s SO good for getting scuff marks off walls! We’ve got nice new paint on our walls and it’s surprising how many little grey marks have appeared even in just the 2 weeks we’ve been living in our new place.
Anyway, I think I’ll keep getting the Magic White (although I can never find it in supermarkets around here, only in Mitre 10, Howard’s Storage World and Bunnings, which aren’t convenient for me to get to that regularly) but I’ll also try the Enjo glove. Thanks! How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 11Oct 06, 2008 7:14 pm White King foam spray, great for grout, tiles, shower screens, not as overpowering as you think it might be either, BUT I think I will get me some of those little white sponges and give them a go. I hate shower screens. Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 13Oct 07, 2008 10:18 am Really? Wow. They seem so gentle. I’ve only used them on skin as far as holding the damp bit of white sponge cube whilst cleaning a surface. *imagining someone scrubbing at their arm with the Magic White sponge* Weird. lol How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 14Oct 11, 2008 8:04 pm I still can't get the screen perfect!!!!
I scrub and I scrub, and it's all nice and clean, and I use the squeagy thing, but there are STILL little spots and blotches (faintly white-ish in colour) that seem to literally be INSIDE the screen. Like, scrubbing on either side of the screen doesn't seem to touch them. Is this possible? How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 16Oct 12, 2008 6:12 am Judie Just be careful with those magic white sponges. Do not use it on skin. It will give you a nasty chemical burn. Judie - I hate to tell you this - but that is a hoax http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/eraser.asp I was forwarded the same info by someone trying to sell me some Enjo products Btw - I also tried it by rubbing it on my skin - did absolutely nothing. Amazing what people will believe when it comes in an email forward After 4 years - we're in!

Re: Best thing to clean clear shower screens? 19Oct 12, 2008 3:54 pm I use a sponge saturated with dishwashing liquid. Rinse, let dry. If you want to have a perfect screen, follow (once the screen is dry) by a spray of water + methylated spirits and a soft microfibre cloth. Honestly, it looks like there's no glass.
