Introduction
A sparkling shower door can make your bathroom feel fresh and inviting. However, soap scum, hard water stains, and mildew can quickly dull its shine. With the right techniques and tools, you can not only clean your shower door but also keep it spotless for three times longer. This guide will walk you through a simple yet effective process to achieve lasting results.
Ingredients
White vinegar: A natural cleaning agent that cuts through soap scum and hard water stains.
Baking soda: For gentle scrubbing power.
Liquid dish soap: Helps remove grime and grease.
Essential oil (optional): Adds a pleasant scent to your cleaning solution.
Distilled water: Prevents mineral deposits.
Microfiber cloth: For streak-free cleaning.
Spray bottle: To mix and apply your cleaning solution.
Squeegee: For regular maintenance after cleaning.
Directions
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
In a spray bottle, combine one part white vinegar, one part distilled water, and a few drops of liquid dish soap. For a fresh scent, add a few drops of essential oil.
Apply the Solution:
Generously spray the solution onto the shower door, ensuring it covers all areas with stains or buildup. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to loosen grime.
Scrub Gently:
Sprinkle baking soda onto a damp microfiber cloth. Use the cloth to scrub the door gently, focusing on stubborn spots.
Rinse and Wipe:
Rinse the door with warm water and wipe it down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove any streaks.
Final Touch:
Use a squeegee to remove any remaining water. This step prevents water spots and ensures a crystal-clear finish.
Serving and Storage Tips
Post-Cleaning Maintenance: Keep a squeegee in your shower and use it after each shower to prevent water spots.
Storage of Supplies: Store your homemade cleaning solution in a cool, dry place for future use. Shake well before each use.
Reapplication: Repeat the cleaning process every 2–4 weeks for lasting results.
