7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VIGO shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: Clean glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the glass or damage protective coatings.
- Hardware Cleaning: Wipe down metal components (rails, rollers, handles) with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for the finish (e.g., matte black).
- Seal Strips: Periodically check the seal strips for wear and tear. Replace them if they become damaged or lose their effectiveness to prevent leaks.
- Roller Maintenance: Keep the top rail and rollers free from debris and soap scum to ensure smooth operation. Lubricate rollers if necessary with a silicone-based lubricant, avoiding oil-based products.
