Make sure, though, that the tool you remove the debris with is non-abrasive.

Maintaining the treated surface
Acting as an invisible shield, the EnduroShield® coating bonds to the substrate and helps protect against dirt, grime and soap scum, and also from staining, etching or discoloring. EnduroShield repels both water (hydrophobic) and oil (oleophobic) leaving an easy to clean surface that is very similar to a non stick fry pan.
Cleaning guide
Shower glass needs to be cleaned each week using a damp microfibre cloth and a mild detergent (such as washing up liquid) to remove any soap scum, dirt or grime from the surface. For outdoor glass surfaces such as railings, pool fencing and windows, clean as required using water and a mild detergent .
What to avoid
Be careful not to use any rough, gritty, abrasive, highly acidic or alkaline cleaners as they may damage the protective coating. This includes products such as Comet (powder), Ajax, or cerium oxide which damage or polish back the actual substrate.
Acceptable cleaning products
