Tips Cleaning Your Enclosure: A Few Tips from the Pros Using just any glass cleaner on your shower enclosure may clean soap scum from the glass, but at the same time it may damage the finish of the aluminum hardware that holds your enclosure together. If a cleaner doesn't harm the metal, it may also not clean the soap scum. This confusion about how to clean an enclosure both safely and effectively led the Bath Enclosure Manufacturers Association (BEMA) to sponsor a series of studies of the most popular bathroom cleaning products on the market. The tests were conducted by an independent laboratory using enclosures that had been returned to the manufacturers with heavy deposits of soap scum. Cleaners were placed on the glass and directly on the metal in separate tests that ranked the cleaners first by their cleaning effectiveness and then by their gentleness on the metal. The combined rankings have led BEMA to now recommend Comet Heavy Duty Bathroom Cleaner in the spray bottle to clean your enclosure effectively and safely. The recent appearance on the market of cleaners that you spray on the shower wall daily without washing or rinsing has raised some concerns in regard to those enclosures that may have acrylic towel bars or other hardware made from plastic. It is important when using such cleaners to be sure that they are recommended for use on plastic as well as glass. These cleaners are too new to have been included in the original BEMA cleaner study.
