I have tried many solutions over the years. I just found out that Weiman’s Glass-Top Stove Cleaner takes water spots off faucets and glass shower doors. After 14 years of accumulated water spots I used full strength Weiman’s with a paper towel and removed ALL spots and continued rubbing until the paste was dry and then dry buffed it shiny. After 14 YEARS. It looks BRAND NEW, not kidding. Wish I had taken pics.

With paper towel or soft cloth you can also clean your fiberglass tub or shower of water spots. Also works to remove gray marks on white porcelain/ceramic sinks left by pots and pans. Amazing.

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned this product before—notice the word “glass cleaner” in name. It does just that…cleans glass, chrome, porcelain and fiberglass of everything.

For daily shower spray get a 32oz bottle. Fill with 16oz vinegar, 16oz water, 2 TB dishwasher rinse agent (cascade). Spray on lightly after a shower and do not wipe off. Works good with hard water also. I did the math and it comes to $.70 a refill.

To clean soap film from tile and glass use shampoo on a non-scratch scrubbing pad. Apply, let sit for a few minutes, and scrub again while rinsing. It works; it’s simple; and there’s no unpleasant odors.

I try to squeegee my shower dry when I’m finished, since I’m the last one in the shower in the morning. It reduces the total moisture in the bathroom and hopefully mildew.

If you have a hard water problem keep a spray bottle with vinegar and water at each sink and on the edge of the bathtub. After a shower just spray all the surfaces and shower curtain. Dry with a towel and it will always shine. Wish I had thought of that many years ago. After you finish washing the dishes or cleaning up the kitchen spray and wipe. Always shiny and clean. After you brush your teeth spray and wipe. Wow everything always shiny.

I noticed how my housekeepers cleaned my shower and bathtub which was odd, but made sense when I thought about it. Wait until your shower/tub is completely dry and take a hard bristled scrub brush to to scrub off the dirt and stains. You will find that it just flakes away with very little effort. Next, take your typical cleaner (I still use Tilex with soap scum remover) and spray all over the shower/tub and clean as usual with water. This saves me time between housekeeping visits. I am done in a few minutes!

How often should you “wax” your shower?

I learned a great tip that helps me keep my shower clean. After you have cleaned it thoroughly, take standard car wax, and follow the directions on the package like you would if you were waxing your car. Wax down your shower walls, and fixtures (but make sure you cover the floor – old towels work great – so you don’t slip). The water just beads off, and helps keep your shower clean and sparkling for a much longer time.
