How to Clean Shower Doors

October 24, 2011 By 1 Comment

Have you noticed that some cleaning tips work great for you, but poor for others?  That is because every home is different.  Some homes have hard water, thus mineral deposits are created. We all use different types of soaps. Soap scum is created by the soaps that we use.

Below are lots of different tips to clear your shower doors.

Use a wet dryer sheet on the soap scum.

  • Apply cheap shampoo, let it sit for a couple minutes, and then rinse it off.
  • Get cheap toothpaste – a lot of people swear by this. Apply with a sponge to your door.
  • Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner. (Wear  gloves, and make sure the room is well ventilated)
  • One part vinegar, one part water  in a bucket.  If you have really bad soap scum, you can use straight vinegar.
  • WD-40

With all these tips, apply the product with a damp sponge/cloth. Rub your doors, and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Once clean, rinse the doors with water.  Dry the doors with a cloth.

I cringed whenever I saw my stained, dirty grout. I looked all over the internet, and I did not find a solution that worked.  I went to my local hardware store, and the tile guy showed me this great product:

 

It’s called grout refresh. It is a grout colorant and sealant. Two in one! I tried scrubbing the grout with cleaners, and none of them worked very well. I knew this was my solution. I first cleaned all my grout with a cleaner, and then I took an old toothbrush that belonged to my 3 year old – it was the perfect way to paint on the new grout sealant. I’m not going to lie, it was a lot of work, but well worth the effort.

Before I painted, I scrubbed down my grout with this:
