SHOWER
Showers are susceptible to soap build-up. To
control mildew growth, spray the shower with
household chlorine bleach. Allow it to stand for
fi
ve minutes, then rinse with clear water. Clean
the glass shower doors with window cleaner on
a weekly basis to maintain shine. If water spots
cannot be removed from glass, rub lightly with
the
fl
at edge of a razor blade to remove deposits.
To prevent excessive moisture and a continual
growth of mildew, use the shower only with
adequate ventilation. The sealant in a regularly
used shower should be replaced once a year. To
replace sealant, remove the old sealant using
a sharp non-metallic instrument. Apply a new
sealant, which can be found at most recreational
vehicle supply stores.
