That's normal way of cleaning.

But the tough water spot stain is not so easily removed.

Depend how strong your glass surface are. Do note not all glass are make equal, especially cheap china glass very easy scratch. Below method may scratch some glass especially china cheap glass.

- You can try use 3m scotch scrub with vinegar to rub.
- use very fine sand paper minimal #2000 and soak in water
- toothpaste + cloth and rub.

If unsure, try small area at corner.

What others did to prevent water marks is to apply a layer of RainX especially for new shower screen, you need to use some elbow grease for application. Water will just slide off rather than stick onto surface, creating marks after evaporation.

The most tedious part is mould growing on silicon joint, very unsightly.

Let it growth till entire strip become dark brown biggrin.gif

Still cracking my head to design a shower screen that totally eliminate the use of silicon. Perhaps build the screen after the curb, meaning shower screen will be place inside the shower area rather then sitting in the middle of the curb. Just use bracket to hold glass panel. Can only be done if shower area is big enough.

Is either rubber, silicon to hold the glass else it will break. The neutral silicon will (as claim) will not growth fungus.

Having glass door / sliding door require maintenance. Earlier I having another issue with my sliding glass door, the roller keep breaking (crack) think due to the weight of the glass door, and change twice (under warranty), now that is over the manufacture (solid glass) ask me to change the railing to a better design, Of course with some fees. RM 350. Hope this fix the problem. If not I will ditch the mid range sliding door and go for a thick and heavy duty sliding door, of course double to triple the price sad.gif

Thanks for highlighting the problem with sliding door, mine is a swing door type. Was considering sliding for future use as it's less awkward especially when you have a small area.
If too much of a hassle with railing problems and fungus growth, may opt for El Cheapo shower curtain. laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Nice things always expensive to maintain lo.

Water spots on the glass are due to calcium carbonate build up, easily cleaned by wiping the glass with vinegar and let it soaked for 30mins, repeat if needed.

Vinegar don't always work.
