Aftercare Instructions

This glass screen is coated with a Stayclear

®

 Protection System.

Stayclear is an effective protection that makes shower glass easy to clean and keep clean. 

It resists staining and maintains the hygienic environment and visual appeal much longer 

than unprotected glass. It is especially formulated for use on Stayclear

®

 glass and ceramics 

and is also effective on most metal and plastic surfaces. Stayclear Glass requires cleaning 

less than half as often as ordinary glass. We recommend halving your current cleaning 

regime and either increase or decrease it as required. To optimise the performance and 

durability of the unique protection, we recommend the following basic maintenance 

programme:
• Regularly rinse off soap and water deposits and dry the surface using a squeegee or cloth 

if required. 

• Clean glass panels weekly (depending on usage and hardness of water).
• Alternatively, clean the panel with a non-abrasive daily cleaner and rinse with copious 

amounts of water and wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

Do not 

use abrasive products, cloths, strong or concentrated acidic, alkaline, chlorine or  

other abrasive cleaning materials as these may discolour or otherwise damage the product 

and will invalidate any warranty.

Do not

 place matches, cigarettes or naked flames on or near Larenco.

Note: The durability of the 

Stayclear

®

 protection may be affected by the frequency of use of 

the shower, hardness of the water and the type of cleaning compounds and methods 

used. Such matters are outside the control of the manufacturer.
