Might sound crazy but after you get the water spots off , apply 1-2 coats of a high quality premium Automotive Wax and spots will stay gone for a couple of months. Treating your clean glass with Rain-X regularly works well also.
You use misleading vid titles to get views to get ad revenue. Nice. (not). "watch what happens" what happened when you "put a dishwasher tablet in your shower"? It fizzes right? That's what you should have shown. 🙄
@@neebolopez8995 I've learnt more from your comment than this whole 5+minute video. Thanks 👍😁
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
can you drop the amazon like to buy this please. this is a great product
Hi. We took the doors we inherited to a glass supplier who replaced the glass in half a day for very little money. His advice was to never clean the glass with products but to sponge down with a window cleaning squeegie/wiper blade every time. I have not had to clean the glass once in eight years. The marks are calcium in the water drops left after they evaporate. No drops no marks. Every now and then I wipe the outside with a dry cloth. I'm in Australia but am sure this would apply in the US as well
That helps too, I tried that, but I work better using a rag.....this is how you clean,,,,,and I never have water spots on my faucett or shower, I just dry the walls & faucet everytime I shower....may take 2 mins.
Does not apply to the US. Our water spins the other way in sink drains.
Same, but I use a chamois instead
Goes here in Denmark too 😉 and we litterally live on a chalk-rock. I only use water and microfibre-cloths on my backsplash/mirror. Never have I had to use chemicals.
Thank you thank you! Can't wait to try this. I have been racking my brain for 25 years and tried everything. I have 2 shower doors I need to work on
I’m a silversmith and steel wool will eventually remove the finish on metal. Be very careful using that.
Agreed there is cleaning and damaging .
Yes, agreed!👍
Thanks for your comment. That totally makes sense. Q: if we avoid the metal part...will the steel wool damage the glass portion?
Also, any steel fibers will rust in no time. I would suggest using BRASS wool. It too will remove the finish but will take longer.
@@sylvia4425 , definitely. It scratches glass. And you can't un-scratch it.
I squeegee my glass shower screen and tiles after every shower. Doesnt take long, and I also dry the tiles and screen. No problem wth scum or mould. Far easier than having to spend lots of time cleaning them.
Yes honey
I do the same while the conditioner in I go with squeegee and wipe up and it helps me out also cause my back !!! I need to be careful!! Lot easier!!
I use wet dryer sheets. Works every time and shower smells great! Do it every 2 weeks. No issues.
New ones?
I love the way we are obsessed with cleaning shower cubicles! I must admit I do use a squeegee after showering and it makes a difference
So do we and it works fine.
Me too! Saves so much time cleaning!
You’re cleaning what appears to be clean to me 😄
Lol
Yep, just like when people walk into a barbers with hardly any hair for the weekly trim 🤔
@@dsa2591 This would have had millions of hits back in the 50's 60's and early 70's when stay-at-home white married women were taking copious amounts of speed. Cranking out another unit every 13 months and cleaning toilet seats (that were left down by the cheating husband that didn't GAF) until they glowed like the FRIGGIN SUN.
The best time to clean is when it’s clean!
I think some people have too much spare time on their hands!
I tried the steel wool on the bathroom sink at my son’s house. It was a rental before he bought it. I thought the sink was corroded beyond repair. It had been cleaned & scrubbed many times but still looked gross. I can hardly believe how good it looks now! Best tip ever!! Thank you 😁
I use a bathroom squeegee every time I finish in the shower. A quick whizz over the glass, then a microfibre cloth to dry the chrome fittings and no water marks. The key is not to let the water dry.
100% and you're not scrubbing it every week....only when you want to and it always looks clean.....I'd rather do it everyday than have to scour & scour once a month.....
@@TheKentuckylady717 I’m all for doing a little to save a lot. I descale the tiles once a month with loo descaler and it only takes five minutes.
I too, use a squeegee every time but I just use the hand towel that we are switching out to dry the whole shower down. It has saved me hours and hours of hard work otherwise.
Exactly what I do also. I never need to do all this cleaning.
Merita How about using a shower curtain liner over your shower door so the door doesn't get wet?
Magic Eraser, people. Works on my shower doors every time with little effort.
would it also work in dishwashers where white hard soapy and water buildup is?
@@juliealbertroussel5170 maybe, but if it doesn’t, any orange cleaner, baking soda, and a green scrubber (and elbow grease) will do it. Showers and tubs, too.
I LOVE magic erasers! I buy the off-brand ones on Amazon and use them on just about everything!
Omg no.. the abrasives in the sponge
Magic eracers are magical
Clean with CLR for bath or I agree with previous comment to use a wet dryer cloth. Once clean coat the glass with RainX which will repel the water and always squeegee after every use. Spots don't return. Be sure to cover the floor of the shower when applying RainX.....over spray will be very slippery.
Maybe try disolving the tablet in hot water and then transfer to a spray bottle
That won’t work because the abrasive factor would no longer be effective.
@@earthmother3024 it does work, all you need is a cloth, rinse and dry
The rough side of your shower doors should be on the outside.
My doors were installed the same way.
@@elmerbefuddled2156 Hahahahaha. Gdamn there are some loose cannon tradies out there. What sort of drugs was he or she on, when they installed the shower screens.
Hahahahaha. Gdamn there are some loose cannon tradies out there. What sort of drugs was he or she on, when they installed the shower screens.
@@nicholaspeteraitken213 Right? I probably wouldn't have noticed if the towel bar handle hadn't been on the INSIDE of the shower - WTH...? Lol. Was easy enough to remove & reverse though. (I could tell you some doozies. Best one, my parents hired a friend's son to repaint some rooms in their house. They felt sorry for the guy because he had a substance problem & couldn't find work. Rather than remove wall shelves, mirrors & decorative wall art, he just painted around them. And they never knew. I later moved into the house thinking how nice to have freshly painted walls! Then found big white square & rectangle bare patches everywhere when I redecorated. And try matching colored touch-up paint, sigh...) (Small price to pay for inheriting a home, grateful & no complaints. 🙂 Just upset that my folks were ripped off.)
@@elmerbefuddled2156 Hahaha. Cheers
Use the steel wool @ your own peril. It is abrading the water marks away yes, however it is also abrading the surface & actually priming it to make the next generation of water spots stick even better. If you don’t believe me, then just use the steel wool to clean you vehicle windscreen . 🤓
I tried the steel wool on my shower doors and it worked fantastic!!!Hardly any elbow grease at all.. ❤️❤️ thanks so much for the tip I never would have thought of it 😃
don't follow her dumbness, don't use steel wool
I have the best results from mixing white vinegar and blue Dawn in equal parts and spraying on, letting sit for several hours, then simply wash and rinse off. Clean and sparkling with little effort.
Been using this method you mentioned for years.
I appreciate all your effort and your ingenuity. Wow a lot of work but worth it! Thank you! I wonder how long before the spots will accumulate once more. I would hate to do this routine once a week. Love your ideas!
giiirl you are going to scratch ppl's showers so beyond repair. oh my gosh
Yeah, but just think how great hair shampoo will clean her dishwasher
For cleaning the glass, I use a Magic Eraser. It works as described... like magic. Takes that hard water & soap buildup off perfectly.
I use liquid dishwasher detergent. Works like a charm.,
I use Clorox toilet bowl cleaner on my boat for the hard water spots. I wipe it on with a sponge, let it almost dry and use a mr clean erasure to take it off. Works like a charm and looks like new. I use it on windows that the sprinkler hits as well. Make sure to use gloves, even the kind without bleach is irritating to the skin.
I use to use a cleaning lady pre-covid. I noticed that she used lysol toilet bowl cleaner. No elbow grease and everything looks brand spanking new! She only came to do deep cleaning every other months so mildew and calcium deposits were pretty built up.
A dark grey pumice stone while you are showering works wonders. Also great for mineral stains on porcelain, ie; toilets.
You need to use a used dryer sheet for cleaning glass, NOT the new dryer sheets. They work beautifully for cleaning the inside of a glass shower surround. Beautifully, along with the chrome finish. It just clears the dried water spots so easily.
I think your doors Are on backwards 🤣
When using the steel wool. Your glass needs to be completely dry. I first learned about steel wool on glass when searching how to get hard water deposits from my windshield.. it really does work great. Also you can get a filter for your shower head. And like Barbara Smit said you can use a squeegee or towel dry after you shower 😊
Hi, thank you, I found that lime away works fantastic
Once you do get it clean, put Rainx on it (used on car windows) to keep the water running off. Once a month if that and less cleaning in the future. Works for tools too!
Was just asking my husband days ago if that would work “rainx” on the fiberglass
Rainx is phenomenal around the glass and shiny surfaces in your house ‼️
@@nancydespain7089
Where else do you use it besides the shower doors?
@@dale3404 I put it on house windows AFTER I clean the hard water spots off to keep them shiny,!
Wonder how that would work for stainless steel!
I’ve had very good luck with Mrs Meyer vinegar gel and a stainless steel scrubber. It has a nice scent and doesn’t hurt your skin. I have the same glass as you
I learned a little trick for cleaning faucets, I had to help my mom when I was young clean motel rooms. Crumble up wax paper will take off the water spots shine it up and helps repel the water!! I hope that you will give it a shot!!
I’m gonna try that !
I used those in my dish washer and water spots were all over, but lemon and backing soda or my mesh bag with my own homemade soap and it works great.
I use dawn soap ( the blue one) and vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it leave it overnight then rinse it in the morning. Clean shower no scrubbing.
I’m going to try this one!
Lol, I do what you do!
Very helpful, thanks. Go easy with the steel wool it may eventually rub off the chrome plating on the taps 🚰. Shower screens are the bane of my life. I did buy some Barkeepers. Friend which is a bit pricey in Australia where I am. I shall continue watching with interest.
Hi Andrea,first time viewer..I just changed my shower head with a handheld one, kicking myself for not doing it sooner,lol...thanks for video..lorra
I just went through a days long shower door cleaning process. I started with an actual razor blade which helped. Then I had seen the dish tab idea and used that. It cleaned further, but didn’t take care of the super fine spotty haze. I just saw your video. I have that type of steel wool and cannot wait to try this today!
Prevention of problems is the key to quickly cleaning and keeping a home clean.
From: One who knows from many years of experience.
Dear Ms. Jean,
Many years ago, a friend of mine who was 20 years senior to me taught me a quick and easy way to take care of the shower and tub. Never let it get really dirty in the first place. She said there is no better time to clean the shower/tub than right after taking your shower. It only takes 5-10 minutes to prevent water spots and soap scum build up. I simply put about ¼ - ½ cup of Mr. Clean in a 32-oz. super spray bottle. Then, I slowly add water until it is just above the wide portion of the bottle. I attach the sprayer and gently tip the bottle back and forth on its side to mix the solution. Then, it is ready to go for the next time I take a shower.
My preparations to take a shower include placing my shower solution sprayer, and three terrycloth rags/cleaning towels within easy reach of my shower; a face cloth size, a handtowel size, and a bath towel size. After finishing my shower, I reach for the spray bottle and quickly spray all the wet areas of the shower, including the faucet and water handle. Then, I get the facecloth size rag/cleaning cloth wet and quickly wipe across all the area I just sprayed. After that, I rinse the area by getting the hand towel rag/cleaning cloth sopping wet and again wiping down each area being sure to rinse the rag each time I wipe down a section of the tub/tile surround. I also wipe down the faucet and water handle. At this point, if need be, I rinse myself again with the shower. Then, I turn off the water and quickly dry the entire shower and tub so there are no water spots. This also prevents mold and mildew. Voila! The bathroom looks so shiny and is clean for the next person who wants to take a bath or shower.
This also works to clean my husbands bath tub/shower once a week. This is so easy. The shower and tub gets clean without scrubbing! By the way, using abrasive material such as any grade of steel wool will leave scratches, even though you may not see them. It actually removes some of the slick finish of the tile or fiberglass. This in turn exacerbates the problem of water spots and soap scum build up. Hence, NEVER use abrasive material on any type of tub and shower.
If you do have a problem with soap scum, repeated use of this cleaning method will over time take care of the problem.
Sincerely,
Ms. Nicholson
P.S. Be sure to use a hair catcher over your drain plug. Make sure you remove the hair from the catcher before cleaning the tub and shower. Prevention of problems is the key to quickly cleaning and keeping a home clean.
And now for the cliff note version….
If they had put the glass in correctly '' The textured side should face out and the smooth on the inside as it has a coating on to stop soap scum sticking to it , as detailed in the shower fitting instructions'' you would have saved your self a lot of keyboard time.
The best I’ve found is The Pink Stuff. I have both types of glass (clear and this). Not true the glass is to blame. The chemical products are watered down, need janitorial strength OR reliable concentrate of natural. The challenge no one mentions is the different surfaces. Example: my shower has stainless and aluminum metals, glass, fiberglass and plastic to collectively clean. Avoiding damage to each decides the cleaning product and method. The pink stuff and non scratch scrubber is the best one stop shop I’ve found for my shower materials. Over 30 years old, it doesn’t look new but you can tell it’s well maintained. Some materials age out, including the mixer behind the knob. Tile grout will eventually need replacing. Water is the most abrasive substance on the planet and hard water permanently etches glass. Interestingly, it doesn’t etch my fiberglass window on my front loader washer. I only have to use pledge to get it looking new. So why don’t they make fiberglass shower doors?
I couldn’t be without my shower sprayer now that I have one. I suffer with chronic pain and it has made cleaning the shower so much easier. Those fibreglass doors are really frustrating to clean. I’m shocked that the steel wool didn’t scratch the surfaces of the glass and chrome.
Hi Andrea. I have just recently discovered your channel and I am loving it! I have a question regarding my shower door. The bottom of my long glass shower door has a silicone /plastic edging at the bottom which stops the water from leaking out into the bathroom, that has changed it’s color and maybe is quite dirty also. I tried cleaning it but was not successful. Cannot change the bottom part as it is stuck to the glass door really hard and pulling it might break the glass! Please help! Thanks!
I use used dryer sheets on my fans, the stand up ones and the ceiling ones. I take the stand up one apart and use the old dryer sheets to clean it and it like attaches to the dryer sheet.
Lol diy swifter duster! 😂
I was ready to replace my shower doors, when I stumbled across a video showing how well a particular product worked. I ordered that product, and I still have the doors. It takes some elbow grease but the doors look great. Ill try the steel wool on my hardware. I was always afraid of scratches.
You have to tell the product!
Thanks for your video. A good hint I learned on how to keep your counter tops or showers from rust rings, put clear nail polish on all the can bottoms. That stops that rust problem. Getting rid of that rust ring is a problem. If you scrub too much, you make the finish dull and it absorbs stains more. Try salt and lemon juice, let it sit. Hopefully that will help.
Bar Keepers Helper is great on the chrome and glass windows too...lasts a while once done as well...
You won't believe what I use! Oil of Olay dry face clothes. I accidently learned how awesome they work when I was washing my face in the tub! All water spots, GONE! Also shines everything!!
Have you ever tried RainX on your showers doors after they were cleaned? I have not tried it but I have heard some have used that product to let the water with soap just run off the shower doors.
Once you get the hard water stains off, treat the doors with RainX for car windshields. It’ll keep the water stains away for a couple of months. I also used ceramic stove top cleaner and a soft scrubbie to get the buildup off.
I’m going to try the finish on my shower door, it doesn’t have the grooves like yours hopefully it will work if that doesnt work I will try the steel wool.
Just wanted to point out there are LOTS of different grades of steel wool ranging from most abrasive to the least.
If you're going to use steel wool on glass or a shiny surface It MUST be the 0000 grade or it WILL scratch glass, also when you use the 0000 grade on glass don't use too much pressure or it will scratch.
The 2 problems in a shower cubicle are grease and limescale.
Both can be removed, grease first by use or the correct degreasers and inhibited limescale removal acids. Commercial premises (such as major hotels) do this all the time.
Grease and limescale can also congeal with hair, causing drainage blockages. In this case, sodium hydroxide is the best solution.
Most premises now use water softeners in hard water areas. They remove 95% of the problem.
As you pointed out, ANY abrasives will soon destroy plating and scratch both glass and ceramics. Once this happens, both corrosion and mould will soon become a problem.
Great ideas. Thank you 🤗🤗
Try a soap dispenser that you use to wash dishes, put dawn soap and vinegar in the dispenser. Put soap in first 1/2 way then the rest vinegar. Shake and scub. I would recommend putting the same mixture in a spray bottle and spray the glass first. Wet the glass with water then spay and wait 20 minutes. Then the dish scrubber solution. All can be bought at dollar store cheap. It works. Good luck
Iwhen used to have a shower door I use lime away in the foam spray and it worked great
I'm too lazy, I would just use the sprayer to rinse the doors lol, but I'm impressed...thank you!! My fav is rubbing dish soap on the mirror and rub off with a soft cloth - NO FOGGING UP!!
My best tip for cleaning a shower is DeSolve-It or GooGone, but any orange oil cleaner would probably work, plus baking soda. I always used a green scrubber, but I will try the OOOO steel wool next time. This has always outclassed anything else I have ever tried. Another neat trick for cleaning a shower door or a vehicle’s windshield is glass stovetop cleaner. Yep. These two things have cleared a lot of clutter from under the sink.
I was told by a house cleaner to use car wax on shower doors after you clean them to help repel the stains. I later found the packaging to our shower and it recommended the same thing. That’s from the manufacturer.
The used ones (from laundry), work nicely as a fresh scent for your unmentionables drawer. 😄🌷
Whatever you clean, hard water will eventually create a film and streak surfaces. I also use vinegar and stainless steel cleaner. Using a Turkish towel I wipe down glass shower doors, ceramic tile walls, and bathtub after each use. A bit of effort, but it eliminates the calcium buildup.
HI, would that work on shower tiles ? my shower which I tought was clean , felt smooth one washed , when I bent down and looked up , the bottom part had ++ film that wont come of.. Loved your video
I am a firm believer on CLR fo tough water spots . Also the best thing to use in your sink if you have stainless steel sinks use gel toilet bowl cleaner to get rid of water stains .
After you get it really clean with the scouring pad, try putting Rainex windshield treatment on the inside of the doors.
Hi Andrea. I enjoy your videos. I squeegee my glass shower doors and then dry them down every time with a microfiber towel and they still have hard water spots on them. I also have a water filter on my shower. It is so frustrating.
I was told to use hot white vinegar with a bit of blue dawn, I spray it on let it sit, spray again after 15 minutes and scrub. Rinse a it came out great 👍. Then you dry it good then spray some Wd40 on a rag and polish the glass or plastic doors ONLY. Careful not to get a drop of the wd40 on the floor or walls, you will fall.
Honestly, the better solution might be to address the problem at it's source and look at getting a water softener system installed.
This'll not only address the buildup of calcium on your shower door, it'll address soap scum in the shower, improve your clothes washers efficiency, and can help reduce how much soap you need to wash dishes and clothes.
Exactly! After my remodel we are getting a water softener
I have a water softener and it works for the dishwasher but the best thing it does for a shower is save your skin. I think the hot water, soap and the fact that water is abrasive on the materials used for showers are the problem, hard water only being one. Dishwashers are stainless, my washer tub is stainless and the window is fiberglass. 2 cups of bleach in a cycle cleans the tub and pledge gets the water spots off the window. Hmmm…
Use Lime Away Gel.
It worked wonders on my glas shower doors. Then use a Magic Eraser to scrub off the hard water and soap scum. Works like a charm.
I use a Magic Eraser for the Bath. It works great and is very easy.
Andrea I am hoping you do a show of best of 2020. Since you try and test so many products for the same area types, can you come up with which works best? Enjoying the videos
We use Awesome from Dollar Tree straight to get rid of hard water stains on our stainless steel sinks , spray and scrub with sponge rinse.
A dry Brillo works wonders... trust me it doesn’t scratch and I’ve used it on smooth glass....
You might need a stronger grit steel wool pad. They're like sandpaper, they come in different Grades from fine to coarse.
Grade Number 3: This is the most abrasive grade. It is considered to be “coarse”. It can be used as the first step in the finish removal process.
Grade Number 2: This is the second most abrasive grade. It is considered to be “medium coarse.” It is used to eliminate starches in metals such as brass. It can also be used to get spots out of tile, or as an abrasive used in between coats of finish on wood floors.
Grade Number 1: This grade is used to get rid of rust on various surfaces and to remove spots on wood floors. It is considered to be “medium.” It can also be used in conjunction with chemicals such as varnish remover on wood furniture.
Grade Number 0: This grade is considered to be “medium fine.” It is used to shine brass and to clean different types of tile. It is also used as a finish remover and can be used in conjunction with finish removing chemicals.
Grade Number 00: This grade is considered to be “fine.” It is often used in conjunction with linseed oil to help produce a high-gloss finish.
Grade Number 000: This grade is considered to be “extra fine.” It can be used as an abrasive on stains or spots that exist on wood. It is also commonly used to polish various types of metals and as an abrasive that can be used between multiple layers of finish.
Grade Number 0000: This grade is considered to be “super fine.” It is the finest grade of steel wool that is available for sale in local hardware stores. It is often used to complete the final stage of rubbing out certain types of finishes. It can also be used to remove wood stains.
Watch video as I type, do you use a squeegee on those doors after showering?,or using a towel to wipe down the door? That help a ton with water spots/grime.
Indeed it does. Stop being lazy people!!
Great trick, when you pulled out the steel wool pad to clean the steal, I was like 😱 Nooooo.... it will scratch the hell out of it, but by golly it did a beautiful job, thank you for the tip. 👍🏼
Years ago before TH-cam a professional auto detailer told me about #4 steel wool for show car worthy windshield cleaning. I’ve doing this for years with a little car polish for years because it works. If it needs more aggressive cleaning use rubbing compound.
I love to use lemon oil on those types of shower doors. Lemon oil on a dry soft, rag and wipe away. Fast, beautiful and lasts for quite some time. Enjoy :- ) Have a great day everyone!
Dawn dish soap works really good for weekly cleaning. Longer term, a liquid car wax used with a buffer or elbow grease will remove grime and stay clean longer.
If you just spray your towel with CLR it will get rid of the water spots much easier and it will do the same thing with your Chrome but don't leave it on the crown for a long time because it will dull your Chrome it's not really meant for Chrome but it will get rid of the hard water spots on your glass amazingly. I am a housekeeper. Also you have guests coming over and you don't feel like getting the water spots off glass you can also use orange glow and that will cover it up when your guests come over but only for a short time before the water spots come back. Like I said use CLR to get rid of the water spots and if you want to get rid of them permanently. Use a squeegee after every shower and that will eliminate water spots even on the walls
IT’S A MIRACLE!!!! You found the CURE!!!! I just LIKED and SUBSCRIBED and signed up for your news letter!! You are a GENIUS!
When you said steel wool I was like “oh NO! That’s going to scratch!” Well I ate my words for breakfast, lunch and dinner Honey! Lol
Thank you thank you!
Thanks so Much again 🌿
So nice of you ❤️
Steel Wool is the best. I tried it and it works great!
Are your shower doors on backward? We have doors like that, and the smooth glass goes toward the inside, the frosted textured side is the outside.
I was thinking the same thing
Exactly. It’s the same with house builds. Smooth always to the inside.
This is brain numbing.
I've seen more than one comment asking this. I have the same doors and it looks like the smooth non-textured side IS on the inside. What is making people think otherwise? I don't get it.
@@wendyhorn8376 I would think it's harder to clean texture with all the nooks and crannies water can get into, thus having the smooth side on the INSIDE of the shower makes more sense from a cleaning perspective.
Get a Dremel versa- and use Barkeeper’s friend (or your favorite cleaner) Let the Dremel versa do the work! And Lime away works well too on calcium or lime deposits.
Too much chatter, just get to demo and point
😂😂😂😂
Too much indeed. Fell asleep halfway through🥱
I like the look of those shower doors better cause clear plain glass shows every single streak, mark and scum build up. Be happy u kept urs, cause I sold mine and bought the clear ones, and it’s so much more work, and they didn’t put the doors in as well as the old ones. They don’t slide as nice.
If you use steel steel wool scrubbers like brillo pads & you haven't used it up yet, store the used, wet pad in a ziplock baggie & it won't rust (because it keeps the oxygen away from the wet steel mesh)! The brillo pads last much longer!
Check out Tekon shower door coating they give u a scrub to take off the hard water stains before u coat the doors works amazing and not expensive been using for years I have a glass shower
A small bucket of hot water mixed with some salt , some vinegar and drops of Drawn Detergent. It also worked it!
Tony Orlando and Dawn ??
Hi Andrea,
My name is Donnalynn and I'm a new subscriber. I love the tips you share with your videos. Thank you! Or as we say in Hawaii Mahalo! Aloha from Hawaii
I just bought a new house. Previously, it had renters in it for about 5 years who we're as concerned with soap scum or hard water spots. I have found the easiest way to get that all right is to first spray everything in the shower down with LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner. (Get it at Lowes...you can get it concentrated. Better value) I let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes, then I rinsed it off. Then I used my steamer on it. Got it good with one of the brushes and scrubbed the few really bad spots tk loosen the yucky stuff on it, etc. Then I sprayed it with Awesome again. I repeated those steps basically for a day. Looks awesome!
You can also get LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner at some Dollar Stores.
Use Easy Off none scented on the doors (Oven Cleaner) you can also use it on the tub gets off hard water stains on both it's wonderful. Than you can put Shaving cream on the doors protects the doors.
A simple and quick method...use 1/2 dawn and 1/2 vinegar, use one of the dish scrubbers that holds the dish soap mix and has a light scrubber. quickly go over glass area, spray rinse...2 minutes done. No Gloves needed. Meantime, keep the end of toothpaste tubes, rub a tiny amount of toothpaste on chrome or other fixtures, can use old toothbrushes for crevices, spray off = shiny like new. In fact keep scrubber in shower. Both my showers have the long shower hose types, to rise off from cleaning.
I do the same thing!
Simple window and glass cleaner spray with vinegar works absolutely fine too. Use microfibre cloth.
Tuff Stuff does the trick ! And a microfiber cloth damp and then dry to shine for chrome or stainless. And bathroom tile ! Love it for so many uses. Not sure about the shower doors. Lime away is so strong.
I use used dryer sheets to dust my baseboards and clean the lint catcher of my dryer
Just a heads up, if you use your dryer sheets to clean your dryer vent screens be sure to wash them often with soap and water. The dryer sheets will leave a film on the screens and cut down on the dryers efficiency. Be sure the screen is dry before using your dryer.
The best thing in the world for hard water... Magic eraser!
Doesn’t work on marks like this, I tried it.
It will clean it. It’s only wet sanding. It will also take the finish off anything.
That’s what I used on my old shower doors. It only lasts about week at my house, but it did work. What worked permanently, got rid of the doors and replaced with a curtain! 😊
I would agree most of the time, but hard well water, it doesn't work..
Kaboom is the best thing I have found for hard water stains.
Steel wool fibers if they get wet can cause rust stains.
Have you tried melting the tablet in the water. it works good if you put it in a sprayer following behind with your cloth
After it’s clean use rain x or try the weekly vinegar dawn scrub brush
Rain x that you use on car windscreens keeps soap scum sticking to the glass. I’ve used it for 7 years and the glass is perfectly clear and scum free.
Will this work with dishwasher liquid and a scoring pad, then rinse? Seems that would be easier. I use a four capfuls of liquid dishwasher fluid in a bucket of warm water and clean my outside window with a long handle window squeegee then rinse off with water from a hose. No need to wipe dry because your windows will dry streak free. This tip was given to me years ago from a professional cleaning company employee.
Squeegee the doors after use helps prevent that. Also you can use rainx.
The glass in my neck of the woods is called ''Cathedral'' glass. Smooth on one side and rippled on the other. They come in several colours. Red used to have gold in it. Blue, yellow, green and so on. Ex glazier. :)
After you clean your shower use automotive spray wax and dry on the fiberglass surround. A reapplication about once a week. It doesn't have to be dry it’s just what it says wax and dry. Also on glass doors after cleaning use Rainex for auto glass. Amazing water sheets off with no spotting
I heard that, but was not sure it would work. What do you mean on the fiberglass surrounds? The frame of the glass? What do you use on the tiles?
So auto spray wax on fiberglass showers.
On tile the best thing is tile sealer.
