Product Maintenance
BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long-lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off
after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream
based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal
brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.
GLASS: To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use
with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent
soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to
dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that
contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the
surface.
HARDWARE: To ensure a long-lasting finish, wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If
accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling
or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or
polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive
sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect
the glass and all hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or
damage. Contact DreamLine
