When the bathroom is large, installing a shower room is a very convenient choice.

has advantages and disadvantages. But these shortcomings can also be solved through methods.

For friends with limited budgets, a higher priced shower room is indeed hesitant.However, for friends who have sufficient budget and large bathroom space, and want to be a good separation between dry and wet, a shower room is indeed a good choice.
It is not easy to clean
Some friends reported that it was different from what I imagined. I thought that after taking a shower, I would just clean it. As a result, the shower room was covered with water stains after use, which made me feel a headache.
This actually has a certain relationship with water quality. "Harder water quality" is more likely to leave severe water stains. The water purification system can be planned in the early stage of decoration.
But no matter what, even slight water stains are difficult to ignore on the transparent glass texture. Additional bathroom cleaner is required.
Here is a "small trick":
Mix white vinegar and dishwashing liquid into the watering can in the ratio of 8:2. Then spray evenly on the glass. Then wipe the liquid evenly on the entire glass with a sponge. Let sit for a few minutes. Mild scale minutes is enough, while severe scale requires minutes . Then rinse with clean water and scrape the water away with glass.
It is particularly important to note that if it is a "marble product", it is necessary to do a test on a small area in advance.
The second point is that the spray of this trick is quite pungent. After cleaning, you need to "open ventilation" and "windows".
Explosion-proof film
Glass product more or less will make people worry. You will indeed see the shower room self-explosion. Although the probability is extremely low, in order to choose a shower room just in case, you must choose "slacked tempered glass with explosion-proof film". This way the glass will not splash and hurt people.
