3. Wet the outside with a damp cloth
4. Spray the inside and outside of the glass with a lather of vinegar and let it soak for 30 minutes

This prevents deposits such as mold in the joints.

The extra touch: making the shower enclosure shine

A nice clean shower enclosure is already nice, but it can be even nicer. Applying an extra coat to the shower enclosure really makes it shine!

Caution: do not use agents that can abrade, so as not to damage the glass.
