How to avoid rust on your shower door？

Glass shower doors can let light into the shower, making the bathroom look brighter. But their disadvantage is easy to rust. Please read on to learn how to make your shower door look new.
 

1. Understand rust

If your shower door has been used for many years, it may have rusted. Rust usually occurs on the metal rollers of the door. When this happens, it makes it difficult for the wheel to move. Some people think that rust is the discoloration of metal, which is wrong. When oxidation wears out metal, it has no ability to support weight. The roller of your shower door will break, which will cause your glass shower door to break. Excessive rust will weaken your metal and pose a safety hazard to your family. At the same time, too much rust will promote the growth of bacteria. Then it affects people's nervous system, causing painful muscle contraction and other physiological problems. Once you find that the rust is growing, you need to clean the rust on your shower door regularly.
 

2. Remove rust

Fortunately, there are many ways to remove the rust on the shower door. One way is to wipe alcohol on the stain with a cotton pad. Rinse it after completion. If this doesn't work, you can try using a non-abrasive cleaner. Apply a small amount on the wet sponge, and then wipe off the rust. You can also mix salt and lemon juice as a detergent. Another method is to make a paste by mixing baking soda and water. Leave the paste on the rust for about 20 minutes, and then rinse it clean. This is not only an effective way to treat rust, but also to remove soap residue.
 

3. Prevent rusting

Once you remove the rust on the shower door, you need to take preventive measures so that it will not appear again. Please remember that the accumulation of water will cause rust, so you should wipe your glass door with a towel dipped in detergent after each shower.
