If you’re not going to be replacing your shower doors or you’re getting new shower doors, you can throw these roller guidelines away. Some shower doors don’t have guidelines at all. If you look at yours and you don’t see any, you can skip this step.
If you’re having trouble with this, have a friend hold the shower door steady as you pop the clips outward.
If you’re having trouble getting a good grip on the door, put on gloves so your hands don’t slip. Once you have one shower door out, you can do the same thing to the second shower door. Shower doors are made of tempered glass, so they won’t break easily. However, try not to hit the corner of the shower door, since that’s where tempered glass is the weakest.
Cut around both the left and right side of the top bar so it’s easy to take out. You’ll only want to remove the frame of your shower if you’re planning to take out the doors completely or replace them. If you’re just removing your shower doors to clean them, you can leave the frame alone.
The screws are usually at the bottom, middle, and top of the frame.
If you notice any old caulk on your tub or shower walls, you can remove it with a commercial caulk remover. Use white vinegar and water to tackle any soap scum or mold left underneath the frame.
For super tough hard water stains, mix white vinegar with equal parts dish soap, then let that sit on the doors for 30 minutes.
Soap scum typically congregates around the bottom and sides of your shower doors.
Try to avoid using paper towels, as their pulpy, rough texture tends to leave streaks and marks.
