      I have one. I was excited at first because it looks beautiful... When all clean. I much rather the tub with shower curtains that I can throw in the washing machine. I looked up how to clean. Because I haven’t been able to get the soap scum marks off.

    Melissa, thanks for the info. I came across your channel when searching for the best way to clean a shower. I am a 65 y/o male, married for 40 years, and when I saw this video I confessed to my wife that I was in love! 😂. I have been an OCD clean freak all my life. Our kids washed their hands at the foot controlled sink and came into the kitchen with their hands in the "surgeon's" position (I am a doctor). I wash my hands to prepare for washing my hands. We never had a 5 second rule; if it fell on the floor it was thrown away or washed. We wash or clean all packaging entering the kitchen and we wash every single egg! When COVID started, the world started doing what I was doing all along! When I was in private practice, I had a sign in the patient bathroom; wash your hands or they will be amputated! All Best.

    We've been cleaning our tub/shower with the Dawn dishwashing soap and vinegar mix for about a decade. It works and has saved us money. I use a scrubber filled with the mixture, and have assigned, each member of my family, a section to clean before they finish their libations. This has kept our tub/shower clean, and we all share in the responsibility.

    • @CleaningHowTo
      @CleaningHowTo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That mixture works because the dish soap contains solvents which break down grease and soap scum and the vinegar breaks down the hard water stains. I did a video on this topic using my own cleaning mixture based on these two principles that costs me about 25 cent for a litre of it and it's AMAZING!

      I hired a housekeeper a year ago to come every 2 weeks. After I hired her, I bought a squeegee and I use it on the glass after every shower. Then I take a dry washcloth and wipe down the glass to make sure it's 100% dry. I started doing this cuz I figured it would make the housekeepers job easier. :)

    Thanks so much for this excellent, informative video! I'm a 70-year-old single guy who likes to keep his newly built 2nd floor bathroom clean. I am also a former professional window cleaner, so i like the clean and shiny look! The cleaning solution is the best for that application with soap scum, it really cuts through that crud! I'm buying another squeegee and keeping it handy for the walk-in shower. BTW, we had a simple cleaning solution for windows: a small handful of TSP and a splash of clear ammonia in a bucket of hot water. And I still use a chamiois cloth to dry the edges.

    Expert level! I retired to live in Italy. My home had scum in the shower glass when I moved in, a beautiful home, but I had bathroom scum in a home that sat empty for two years. My maintenance is now minimal. I keep a spray bottle of full strength bianco vinegar in the shower and several times a week spray the glass doors as I exit the shower. Yes, I clean the bathroom while naked! The vinegar keeps the mildew and mold under control. It’s about regular maintenance. I believe that is what your post is suggesting. A few minutes can save you from a major cleaning. I love your energy, your suggestions, so practical. Thanks to you and Chad.

    We squeegee after every shower, (thank you, Melissa!) and I spray, sit, rinse, and towel dry once a week. Every 3 months I'll mold treat, just in case, but I haven't had any mildew yet. And, because our shower has a dome roof, we always leave our shower door open to make sure it air dries completely. Your videos have really upped my cleaning game, we rent, and we have quarterly inspections, but because of all the maintenance and cleaning skills, the healthy habits and routines I've learned from you, that are just normal to us now, there's never a big clean up to do anymore, just the regular, everyday, maintenance chores 😊❤

    I’ve been in my new remodeled house since June. I have white tile with white grout and glass shower doors in chrome tracks and barn-door type rollers also chrome. I use my overhead exhaust fan for the steam, squeegee the doors, tile and floor when done then I dry everything down with a microfiber cloth after that. It takes about two minutes from start to finish and the shower still looks brand new! When I clean the bathroom I sometimes will windex the outside of the doors for some added sparkle but not always. Squeegees work!

  • @JenandNathan

    Another tip to help prevent soap scum is to spray a wax coating on your glass and tiles so the water just beads off. We have used a car product called Turtle Wax that comes in the spray bottle. And the smell of the product is an added bonus.

      Well, what is the alternative for glass doors?
      A shower curtain is very uncomfortable because it moves towards you during showering because of warm/cold air density difference.
      Nothing at all will splatter water all around, requiring extensive mopping. And risk of falling on slippery wet floor.

    This such a great video!!! Thank for all the info. I'm off to clean my shower. One question: Mr Clean Magic Eraser for glass. Says it doesn't scratch. Works great on soap scum on glass. What do you think? Tip: I mix a few drops of Finish Jet Dry for the dishwasher to about a cup of water and after cleaning shower doors, apply to the glass with a sponge. Let sit for a few minutes then squeegee off. Keeps soap sum and water from settling on glass so often I don't even need to squeegee or scrub doors at all. Any comments good or bad to that practice?

    I agree; I also know there are some sprays that can seal over tile; problem with squeegee is it doesn’t dry out all the grout lines. I really believe that when building a shower with tile walls and floors: use the largest tiles you can so that the grout lines are fewer. It’s worse in a humid climate.

Wear them back to work, put on clean ones before shift, repeat. Scrubs come off and kept separate from family laundry, I have a cloth bag I shove them in, then when it’s time to wash scrubs I empty bag into washer, throw in bag, wash with Tide Hygienic Clean detergent. I’ve done this for 15 years. No reason to be extra paranoid now, you are surrounded by Lord knows what all day at work, and always have been.

      Vinegar works on hard water stains as well. I'm on a well and it's a big issue. Hard to get the vinegar to stick, so maybe it will be better with dish soap. If you don't want to do that, there's a new product called 9 Elements (comes in bathroom cleaner as well as laundry soap) that is vinegar based. A bit expensive for only 9 ingredients, so try the vinegar and dish soap first. If worse comes to worse, an SOS (or cheapest equivalent) works really well. Works fine on glass. Wouldn't use on plastic.
