When it comes to your glass shower door, what’s one of the most common but aggravating occurrences? Answer: soap scum. You love your shower doors, but they are such a pain to clean! Mineral deposits build up, leaving your shower doors grimy and streaky. What happened to the elegance your glass shower door once gave the room?
Tired of looking at water stains on your streaky glass shower doors? Exhausted trying to get rid of the spots through endless squeegeeing? Check this out! Here are some ways to clean your shower glass that you may not have considered.
Dryer Sheets
You read that right –dryer sheets! They’re not just for laundry anymore. You can usually get rid of minor stains with a quick rub of a magic eraser or damp dryer sheet. (Stubborn stains may not be removed so easily.) The dryer sheets will also leave a fresh sent in your bathroom. After wiping, make sure you rinse the glass thoroughly
Vinegar
Right in your kitchen cabinet you will find one of the best cleaning products around –and one of the mildest and safest. A warmed half cup of white vinegar will easily remove soap scum and hard water stains. Generously apply it to the affected area with a soaked sponge or rag. For about five minutes, let it sit. Then wash it off with warm water.
Dish Soap and Vinegar
When stains have been present for a long time or are so stubborn that just using vinegar doesn’t cut it, you can mix up a batch of equal parts dish soap and vinegar. Soak a clean sponge or rag in this mixture and scrub the area at least twice. Rinse the shower door thoroughly with warm water after each scrub.
Baking Soda and Vinegar
Some people consider this a last-ditch solution, but it’s worth mentioning if the other suggestions here have not worked. A mixture of baking soda and vinegar might do the trick but be sure to use it carefully to avoid damaging your glass shower door. Form a paste with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1/4 cup baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes before gently scrubbing it off. A gentle hand is necessary due to the abrasiveness of baking soda.
