We remodeled two bathrooms last summer and put Carrera on the floors and countertops in both of them. WE also put frameless shower doors up in both of them. I’m glad to see the cleaner you use. We were also told to be diligent about sealing once a year. The glass installer told us to use a mixture of two parts water and one part vinegar to clean the glass. Should you get build up, spray it and leave it a bit to let it work. The soap scum will get softer and them spray again to remove it. The squeegee is really the best answer to keeping it under control. We have loved the clean, updated look.

You most likely have hard water. I used to live in a town that was known for its hard water…water heaters & appliances have a half life there and most people have a water softener. If it’s in your budget, I highly recommend installing one. You’ll notice a huge difference in your glass shower, drinking glasses, dishwasher, washing machine, and clothes, AND be able to use less dish detergent, laundry soap, and shampoo. I want to say ours was around $500 installed from Lowe’s.

I’m thrilled to see a recommendation for a cleaner for marble. We have marble in our shower and it seems like EVERY cleaner out there is not for marble. It has been such a pain to keep clean. I am going to try the one you recommend. Thanks!

In reply to carol. That's not gross. That's reality. And with two growing boys in our house, its also known as the bane of my existence! BLECH! I am with you! I actually just use clorox wipes around that area, because they clean really well get in those hard to reach areas, and I can just flush when I'm done. I feel like it sanitizes and everything. I hope that helps! ;}

In reply to Melissa P. Hey Melissa! We actually use the same CLeanstone on the floor of the shower. And then for the really bad areas, we use scrubbing bubbles, and then rinse it quickly, because sometimes it {mainly the grout} just needs more with build up, etc. We always follow up with a good rinse, and the marble cleaner though. I hope that helps!

Great tips. There’s always 1 trouble area in my bathrooms, and that’s cleaning the toilet bottom around the bolts and curves and behind the toilet. I know gross. Any suggestions for making this task easier? Thanks.
