The days of the old and moldy shower curtain are numbered in today's contemporary bathroom. The modern homeowner demands a bathroom that is more clean, stylish and hygienic. A shower room that will make a statement of fashion and style, while at the same time providing an environment that is free of sickness and or disease causing bacteria & mold. And the one thing that will deliver on these demands of modernity is the Glass Shower Enclosure.
Unlike shower curtains, glass does not provide a breeding ground for germs and bacteria that will only make you and your loved ones sick. Instead of putting that old shower curtain in your washing machine to wash, and quite possibly spreading microscopic bacteria and mold in it, that will later just infect the whole household. You can just use your favorite bathroom disinfectant cleaner to wipe down the glass. Then rinse, squeegee and you are done.
Yet please do not get the wrong impression and think I am saying that a glass shower door is 100% bacteria & mold free. For that simply is not the case. Every shower door has a gasket at the bottom that keeps the water from getting out of the shower into the rest of the bathroom. A good one is the "Clear Bottom Wipe with a Drip Rail. After time the Drip Rail will begin to accumulate bacteria, then mold. The simple low cost solution is to replace & recycle it every six to seven months. Another issue is the silicon, which is used to put a watertight seal on the glass. With time silicon will begin to accumulate bacteria and mold. The solution is to use a "Mildew Resistant Silicon", which will do just as its' name implies.
Simple precautions from the very beginning of the glass shower door's installation. To the routine cleanliness by the users, is more than sufficient to keep a bathroom bacteria and mold free.
