How to clean the outside of the Shower surface
Dry the shower that is still wet with a soft cloth, so that the surface of the shower is not blistered. Usually when finished showering the shower is not always dried and causes the crust on the surface of the shower, both stainless or chrome.
Apply special cleaning liquid on the shower surface layer, rub with a soft cloth, then leave the liquid attached to the surface of the shower to dry (cleaning fluid can be found in stores/supermarkets building supplies).
After the liquid has dried, clean the shower surface with a soft cloth until it is clean.

How to clean the inside of the Shower
On the inside of the shower usually, there are also obstacles that are not only sourced from the mechanical function of the shower alone, but the water factor is also very influential on the maximum function of a shower, for example, water containing lime, dirty can inhibit the water discharge hole in the shower, causing small water discharge and or some water does not come out of the shower hole. This also often happens in newly installed bathroom water installations and newly renovated bathrooms. Pipe cuttings, glue residue, residual dirt sometimes still remain in water pipes.
Installation of bathroom water that has just been built or renovated, it should be drained of water first to remove the remaining dirt that has accumulated on the inside of the pipe after the shower is installed, this is to avoid the clogged shower.
Cleaning the clogged part of the hand shower due to dirt can be done by opening a flexible hose on the hand shower by rotating in different directions on both devices, washing the filter clogged, usually, the filter is located between the flexible hose and the hand shower. In a hand shower, you can use a needle to pierce the clogged shower hole to remove impurities, after everything is clean drain the hole with water and rinse thoroughly.
Clean the clogged head shower can open the head shower by rotating, then clean the filter clogged, this filter is usually located between the showerhead and shower pipe. The head shower can use a needle to pierce the clogged shower hole to remove dirt, after everything is clean drain the hole with water and rinse thoroughly.
Clean the bottom of the shower faucet sput, open the shower faucet sput with a tool, preferably the sput is coated with a cloth to prevent scratches on its surface after opening wash the filter clean which is clogged with dirt and put it back.
Clean the Control Cartridge (water transfer tool from the sput tap to the hand shower or head shower), if the control cartridge is dirty and clogged, the result is that the discharge water is small and does not even come out at all. Cleaning the cartridge control can be by opening the lever or the cartridge control key by using the L key, then opening the ring using a wrench or wrench, preferably coated with a cloth to prevent scratches, then unplug the cartridge control and clean, then put it back on.
How to deal with leaks in the Shower Set
In addition to clogged water, the problem with the shower set is leakage, this is usually caused by the installation factor and the mechanical endurance function of a product.

When installing the shower drain to the pipe it is recommended to use a seal tape that is sufficient to avoid leakage as well as the rubber seal on the two threads which is required in good condition and installed.
Another factor that causes leakage in the shower set is the technical tool in the shower section which is usually called the cartridge mixer, the constraints that occur are loose or broken cartridge mixers. The thing to do is, if the cartridge mixer is loose, the step taken is to open the lever whose function is to open the water lid with the L key, then open the ring cover turn to the left, usually, it can be opened using only the hands without tools, the loose cartridge mixer is immediately tightened with the key fitting or wrench then put back the ring and lever.
