According to one popular style magazine, showers are all we have time for in our busy lives. A quick shower is also better for our pockets and the planet too, but which do you prefer?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you love wallowing in a deep, hot bath until your skin crinkles? Or is your life just too busy?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cost effective<\/b><\/p>\n

The shower is generally more cost effective. A six minute shower costs approximately 1 kilowatt hour of energy, so you can even calculate how much you’re spending on heating up your electric shower every time. If you have a power shower it may cost a little more as you are heating the water at source.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Filling the bath with hot water can also cost more in energy and water, so depending on your concerns for your pocket and the planet, a shower may fit the bill for you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ditching the bath altogether<\/b><\/p>\n

Many people decide to ditch the bath completely – a brave move as the next buyers of your house may have different ideas. But there is some thought that a main family bathroom with a bath is sufficient, and all other bathrooms are adequately equipped with showers alone. There’s also the benefit of more space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that showers these days are modern and chic, and can look just as magnificent as the sleek,\u00a0designer baths<\/a>\u00a0on offer. But can a shower become the focus point of your bathroom in quite the same way?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well there are some amazing chic\u00a0all-glass cubicles<\/a>\u00a0available, along with flat to the floor shower trays, which also help to add to the minimal feel of a shower.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All that glass<\/b><\/p>\n

One thing\u2019s for sure, all that glass can look magnificent, as long as you can keep it shiny and clean. It\u2019s very easy for calcium build-ups to appear, especially in hard water areas, and make your beautiful glass enclosure look dingy and not at all inviting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Invest in a shower squeegee which you use after every shower to \u2018wipe away\u2019 any soap left on the glass. Another suggestion is to use a damp \u2018disposable towel\u2019 intended for use in the tumble dryer to finish your shower glass as this also removes any left over sediment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If it is really stubborn, vinegar may move it or a magic bathroom eraser which really does seem to work the magic here. Using a shower shine product usually makes the clean glass shine too \u2013 as good as new.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To avoid this issue in the first place, you can purchase shower glass with easy-clean anti-calcium treatments already applied. Or apply the treatment yourself with an anti-calcium kit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So where do you stand? Still firmly with both feet in the bath, or could you be converted to a shower-only routine?<\/p>\n
