your Holcam shower door or tub enclosure to keep it looking new.

Care & Cleaning

Glass Care

Holcam provides the following information for proper cleaning and care of your enclosure.

Squeegeeing the glass frequently, then drying with a soft cloth is highly recommended. Using a

squeegee after each shower helps keep spots and scale from accumulating on glass components.

We also follow the recommendation of the Bath Enclosures Manufacturing Association (BEMA).

You should avoid abrasives, bleach, acidic or vinegar based cleaners and scrubbing pads. Read

labels on cleaning products thoroughly before using. If your glass is coated or treated with surface

protectants, follow the instruction on the labels attached to the glass.

Aluminum, Brass and Stainless Steel Components

- Silver, Gold, Brushed Nickel, Satin Silver and some Oil Rubbed Bronze/Dark Bronze -

Most of the silver, gold, brushed nickel or satin silver metal components of your shower door are

anodized aluminum or electroplated brass or stainless steel. Aluminum is a lightweight, non-

rusting metal which is anodized to give color and to make shiny. It also seals the aluminum to

guard against corrosion and pitting. Electroplating is a similar concept as anodizing. Some glass

and lime scale cleaners can damage anodizing and electroplating, causing pitting or discoloration.

You can permanently damage the metal's finish if improper cleaning compounds containing

alkaline and phosphoric acids are used. The result can be the appearance of white spots and

discoloration. Many products' labels warn against use on anodized and plated metals. Read labels

on cleaning products thoroughly before using on your shower door. Drywall, spackle and tile grout,

which contain lime, can also spot metal and glass surfaces.

"Powder-coated" Metal Finishes

- Oil Rubbed Bronze, White, Black, etc. -

If your unit is not an anodized/electroplated colors listed above, it is probably painted via a "powder

coat" process. The powder-coat surface is very durable, but it can scratch or chip. If a scratch

occurs, please seal it with a matching paint from your local paint or big box store or clear fingernail

polish. Guidance for cleaning powder-coated metal is the same as anodized/electroplated metal.

A Note ConcerningTempered Glass To conform to building codes, shower doors must use tempered glass. Building codes specify tempered glass due to its safety properties. Tempered glass is four to six times stronger than untempered (or annealed) glass. In the rare event of accidental breakage, however, the tempering process causes it to break into smaller, lighter, less jagged pieces. Due to these benefits, automobile side and rear windows and many household windows and doors utilize tempered glass.
