Inexpensive toothpaste works great to clean shower doors, the least expensive brand you can find will work. Squeeze it out of the tube and work it onto the shower doors with a scrubbing style sponge, fully rinse to finish. Sparkling shower doors is the end result!
The secret to cleaning a shower door is: Fill a small bucket with warm water, use a brillo pad, and do not let walls get dry. Use a lot of water.
Toothpaste works great….but any liquid dishwasher soap (ie cascade etc)works really good . Pour liquid on clean sponge and rub on doors. Let it stay on about 5 mins and then rinse off with warm water. Dry doors with lint free dry cloth or towel.
If doors are really full of scum, apply liquid dishwasher soap to doors and leave on for at least an hour and then rinse off with warm water and dry immediately with lint free dry cloth.
WD-40 !! Works on even the toughest scum.
Leave on one minute.
Wipe off. No scrubbing.
Amazing.
Nuf said.
Use wet Bounce Softener sheets for cleaning soap sum off shower doors. May have to do more than once if soap scum has build after a long period of time.
Tried everything I read on the internet and nothing worked. Had bought Amaz and tried it, but it didn’t work. Finally hired a window cleaner who came with Amaz and a scrubbing pad on the end of an electric grinder–it took everything off!!
After you get them clean use rain x to repel water and keep a small squeege in the shower to prevent water spots
Believe it or not, I spend time cleaning my shower after every shower. It takes a couple minutes, but is worth it. The glass doors and fiberglas always look ‘hotel shiny’.
First I squeegie off the water on the glass doors and walls of the shower. Then I use a towel to dry any water residue. That’s all. Never any products or scrubbing, but you start with a clean shower in the first place!
Toothpaste is the best of them all,,,,but I found that Pearl White did the work better! Good Luck!
Inexpensive shampoo works great to clean shower doors. Dollar store expensive brands will work. Pour some out onto a scratch free scrubbing sponge, scrub shower doors and fully rinse to finish. I keep a squeegie in the shower and do the doors right after I shower. Make the job later much easier and faster.
WD 40 THANKS!!!!! AMAZING!!!!
The best thing I’ve found to clean shower doors is lemon oil. Just wet an old rag with it and wipe the hard water stains and soap scum right off. Plus it has the added benefit of the oil repelling water from your next showers so the stuff doesn’t build up again. I do it about once a month and my shower doors are always sparkling!
You won’t believe this. I tried all the above with no results. While cleaning the bathroom I thought I’m goine to try “Toilet Bowl cleaner”. Woohoo. Worked and no wait time. I’m going to try letting it sit for few minutes, bet it works even better.
I don’t know if all brands will work but I used Lysol Disinfectant Power Toilet Bowl Cleaner.Works! Good luck
I used the lysol disinfectant power toilet bowl cleaner as well and it literally melted away the dirt! I diluted it in a 2 pint cup. about 4 ounces of cleaner with 2 cups of water. I took a scrubbie sponge and dipped it in the solution, smeared it all over the tile and shower door. i then scrubbed lightly and rinsed and the bathroom smelled minty fresh!
ps i used gloves.
I keep squeegee in my shower and since is all marble have kept either method or greenworks in and spray right before getting out and squeegee down. My children are always in there, with hands all over and so wanted something non chemical and safe for them. I plan on trying some of the above remedies for a once monthly deep clean and will let you know…
Thx guys for the tips, i tried lysol toliet bowl cleaner and it worked but WD 40 worked the best
okay, tried the WD-40, worked well. However, after trying to wipe off it left streaks and is still greasy. I tried with a cotton towel, and with a paper towel and it still left residue. Any tips????
Weiman’s Glass Cook Top cleaner works great for hard-water spots on glass doors. Use a rag or a soft sponge and work in a circular motion until the product is cleared off, then finish up with a coat of lemon-oil to help prevent future build up.
I just got done using the 4oz toilet bowl cleaner and 2 cups of water mixture and …it worked wonderfully!!! I used Green Works Natural toilet bowl cleaner (from Clorox). Thanx for the help!!
I use a wonderful product called Milsek that is actually marketed as a furniture polish and multi-purpose cleaner. It works GREAT on shower doors.
For dirty, scummy tubs, shower doors; I use oven cleaner and there is hardly any elbow grease you have to use. Of course spray the cleaner on a sponge or right on the surface of the tub or shower doors. Scrub away and watch how clean it becomes…
hairspray nightmare
I’m a house keeper and I have come across my share of difficult bathroom, but the worse by far is a bathroom coated with hairspray. If you have this problem use plain rubbing alcohol work like magic.
WD 40 is amazing! I’m open to anything – my shower doors aren’t new and I used hair products, shaving cream, liquid soap, etc., and they always seem to get cloudy fast. A little WD 40 first, then some scrubbing bubbles or your favorite bathroom soap worked wonders! TRY IT!
