How do I keep my shower glass spotless?
'If you deal with soap scum in the shower and/or find that weekly or bi-weekly cleaning isn’t enough to keep your shower clean, you might want to add a daily shower spray to your cleaning regimen,' says Becky Rapinchuk aka Clean Mama.
'You can use a pre-mixed daily shower spray or make your own. My recipe smells fresh and clean in the shower, keeps soap scum and mildew away, and is super easy to mix up and use.'
'Using a daily shower spray will keep soap scum and mildew at bay and make it easier to clean your shower. Start with a clean shower first and then use the daily shower spray to keep scum and mildew away.'
'Mix half a cup of vodka, (you can use rubbing alcohol but I find that the vodka works better in this recipe), 1 cup of water, 10 drops of peppermint essential oil, and store in a spray bottle. Spray shower or tub daily after showering has occurred. No rinsing necessary. Optional: Use a squeegee at the end of your shower to remove excess water and to prevent water spots.'
Are shower squeegees worth it?
'Squeegee is more than just a silly-sounding word.' says Hagan Kappler, president of Merry Maids®.
'In fact, it's a hot topic among many housekeeping circles: “Should I use a shower squeegee or is it a waste of time?” As it turns out, one of these inexpensive cleaning tools can really make a difference in keeping your bathroom walls and shower door free of soap scum and hard water stains.'
How to look after your shower squeegee
When looking at how to clean a shower – the best advice is to look after your tools!
'Shower squeegees are great and are perfect to keep in your shower so you can quickly get the water off as you leave the shower which will stop hard water build-up and limescale,' says Lynsey Crombie.
'But if you don’t give them a regular clean and keep them in a wet moist area they can grow mold, start to smell and wear out. If you have one, a window vacuum it can be a great asset to the bathroom as they really suck the water away leaving a streak-free finish, plus they are super easy to keep clean.'
'If you have bad hard water build-up or limescale on your shower door then liberally spray with white vinegar and leave for a good 20 minutes before rinsing off.'
