There is a product on the market called Gel Gloss and you can get it at any local hardware store. It is wonderful to spray on shower stalls as a teflon like coating that just runs the water right off the walls and I never have to worry about soap scum as long as I treat my showers every 2 weeks or so with this stuff. Works on a number of surfaces!
Shampoo is one of the best ways to clean shower doors. Try it!
WD-40 takes soap scum off of the shower doors completely.
Spray on wait about a minute and wipe off. Amazing.
Try using Oven spray cleaner. Works for my shower !!
If there is any black mold, wet the area with bleach and let it sit for 15 minutes or more.
For hard water deposits, spray the walls with distilled vinegar and leave it on for several hours or overnight. For the shower pan, cover with old towels or rags soaked with vinegar.
I use Kaboom. You spray it on and let sit, come back and rinse. You may have to wipe down the first time
Best thing I found was concrete cleaner for the polyurethane floor of my shower….
White vinegar is great for removing hard water deposits and soap scum, but be careful not to let it sit on your faucets for more than a few minutes. I will eat the finish off.
Finally got the grime off the plastic shower floor with dishwasher powder, a scrub brush and some elbow grease. FYI: oderless oven cleaner did NOT work.
for cleaning showers, use cheap white vinegar and a microfibre cloth. This cleans the glass doors really well. For mold or stubborn spots, sprinkle with bicarb soda and then spritz with the cheap white vinegar, it will fizz and bubble as its cleaning. You can also put this down the drains each week to keep them smelling fresh and keep them from blocking up. Spraying your mirror with vinegar and wiping with a paper towel keeps mirrors streak free and clean. Vinegar helps kill germs. Once dry it has no odour. If you like add a drop or two of lemon essential oil to help boost its cleaning power and to leave a nice clean scent in the room.
Kaboom used to work really well…spray leave for about 10 minutes and come back and rinse…simple. You would even see all of scum run off the walls into the tub. I no longer recommend this product. I’m guessing they have changed their formula. The bottle looks the same but says something about a new scent. I think they changed more than the scent.
I keep it this simple, One of those Mr clean magic erasers and a bit of soft scrub and my showers and tubs as well as the hydro tub are as white as the day they were installed.using a scented soft scrub really gives a nice clean smell I happen to like the lemon. If you have not cleaned for some time you might need two of those erasers.
The least expensive and most effective way I have found to get soap scum off of tub and shower surfaces is to wet the surfaces, apply Tide laundry powder to all surfaces, let sit for about 2-3 minutes and lightly scrub with a cleaning cloth. Tide is very good at dissolving the scum so a lot of elbow power is not necessary. Another benefit is that it doesn’t release a lot of fumes into the air while you’re cleaning.

Dishwasher detergent liquid or powder is also a great shower/tub cleaner for scum and bleach formula dishwasher detergents whiten enamel or fiberglass.
For the milder build up plain white vinegar and baking soda (helps to polish without scratching) and a little elbow grease.
clean Tub/shower
Clean tub/shower , stop water from draining out of tub, put in soap and water(about 4 inches of water,( I use dishwasher soap) use SPONGE MOP to clean walls and sides from the water in the bottom of the tub (the soap in the water in the tub will clean the bottom while your cleaning the walls with the same water,rince and let dry.Takes about 5 minutes.
