By cleaning the floor of the shower box made of glass fiber, you can give your bathroom a fresh and new appearance. The key to having a clean shower area floor is to clean it regularly using a non-abrasive cleaning product. If you need to get rid of stubborn stains, you can use baking soda, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Performing Routine Cleaning
Step 1. Use a non-abrasive cleaning mixture
If you have a glass fiber shower or tub, it's important that you use only non-abrasive cleaning products because abrasive cleaners can scratch the surface of the box or tub. Try using dish soap, liquid detergent, an all-purpose cleaner, or a soft brush.
Avoid abrasive cleaning products such as scouring ash or ammonia
Step 2. Coat the floor with the cleaner using a non-abrasive tool
You should only use non-abrasive cleaning tools. Choose a sponge, brush, or washcloth made of polyethylene, polyester, or nylon.
Avoid abrasive cleaning tools such as steel wool or scrapers
Step 3. Scrub the floor carefully
Do not let you scratch or stain the glass fiber surface. Use a non-abrasive cleaning product with a glass fiber-friendly sponge, brush, or cloth, then gently rub the product over the floor. Keep in mind that certain stains or dirt may need to be treated with a harsher cleaning product in order to be removed.
Step 4. Rinse the floor with water and dry
After cleaning, rinse the floor with water. Finally, use a soft cloth to dry the entire surface of the shower box floor.
Method 2 of 3: Dealing with Stubborn Stains
Step 1. Treat stubborn soap foam stains with baking soda
Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste. Spread the paste on the surface of the problem area. Let the pasta sit for a few hours. After that, rinse the floor with warm water.
Step 2. Use vinegar to remove stubborn dirt
Vinegar is hard enough to remove stubborn soap suds and hard water residue. Pour vinegar directly on the dirty area. Leave it for a few minutes. After that, use a sponge or fiberglass-friendly brush to brush or scrub the stain.
Step 3. Remove stubborn stains with hydrogen peroxide
Place a few pieces of white cloth over the stain, then moisten the cloth with hydrogen peroxide. Leave the cloth on the stain overnight, then rinse with water, and dry the area thoroughly.
Step 4. Bleach mold stains with bleach
If the floor of your fiberglass shower box is covered in stubborn mold stains, you can remove them with chlorine bleach. Pour a little bleach on the stain. Allow the bleach to soak into the stain for a few minutes. If necessary, use a non-abrasive brush or cloth to scrub the stain. Rinse the floor with clean water afterwards.
Step 5. Use oxalic acid for stubborn stains
Follow the directions on the product packaging to prepare the mixture. After that, apply acid to the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse the floor according to the product instructions for use.
Oxalic acid is harmful to the skin so wear protective gloves when you use the mixture. It's a good idea to wear eye protection too
Method 3 of 3: Keeping the Floor of the Crib/Shower Area Clean
Step 1. Clean the crib or shower area once a week
Soap stains and residual hard water will not accumulate if you are diligent in cleaning the shower box. Regular cleaning also helps you avoid using harsh cleaning products to lift stubborn stains.
Step 2. Get rid of stains and mold as soon as possible
If you see a stain on the floor of the shower box, treat the stain as soon as possible. By removing stains and mildew as soon as they appear, you can keep your shower box floor clean so you don't have to do a deep, time-consuming cleaning.
Step 3. Restore the condition of the floor with car polish
If the floor is very dull or has a lot of scratches, you can restore it with a white car polish. After the floor is cleaned and dried, apply a white car polish mixture to the floor. After that, scrub the floor with a clean rag.
