Bathroom Showers: The Most Important Room! What is the most important room in your home? I think that it's the bathroom - and the shower area in particular. What would life be like if we couldn't take a good, hot, soapy shower after a hard day's work? Life would be far less enjoyable, for sure!
Let's talk about shower room hygiene for a minute. As you are well aware, shower areas are both humid and wet - this provides the ideal breeding-ground for all sorts of nasty little germs, not to mention mold and mildew. So you must take special care to keep this area clean at all times. A good practice is to use a reliable disinfectant and also a mold and mildew killer.
Next topic: Soap scum. Just what is it? Well, actually soap scum is formed as a part of a chemical reaction - there are ingredients in soap that react with hard water - especially high concentrations of lime. As if that weren't enough, hard water can cause calcium and magnesium deposits to form on your drain, shower head and on the shower walls.
So, if you use traditional soaps and also have hard water, you will need to stop and -perhaps daily - clean off all that soap scum build-up. But here's a good tip: if you switch to a shower gel, you will not have soap scum build-up, as shower gels have a different formulation than traditional soaps.
Do you need to fix up your shower area? Well, you'll find that you have lots and lots of choices: You can go for the traditional approach - the typical bathtub under the shower set-up. Or you can install a free-standing shower unit. If you are really adventurous you can choose to have an all-glass enclosure installed - very beautiful (and expensive).
If you are into outdoor living, you also have many choices. There are many special-purpose outdoor shower units available. These are perfect for poolside or showering off at the beach. And you might consider installing an outdoor unit if work outside
a lot and need to get cleaned up before entering your home.
In your shower room you can use traditional (and ever-popular) shower curtains - available in many designs and styles, or you can install doors that open out, or doors that slide along on rails (usually attached to the floor or tub edge). You can also tile up or seal your entire shower room and have a floor-level shower installed.
Let me remind you of one thing in closing: many a layman has attempted to install their own shower enclosure, and soon found themselves in the middle of a hopeless mess! If you don't have the know-how, save yourself some time, aggravation, and money - pick up the telephone, and call a good plumber or home remodeling firm and let them do this for you.
