To clean shower glass effectively, a few key methods stand out:
- Regular Wiping: After each shower, wiping the glass with a microfiber cloth helps prevent buildup of water spots and soap scum. Microfiber is gentle, non-abrasive, and effective at removing moisture without streaking.
- Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the glass, let it sit for 10-30 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. For tougher stains, combine vinegar with baking soda to form a paste and scrub the glass.
- Dish Soap and Vinegar Mix: Mix vinegar, water, and a few drops of dish soap or Dawn detergent in a spray bottle. Spray on glass, let it sit for about an hour, then scrub and rinse off. This helps break down hard water stains and soap scum.
- Lemon Juice: Use lemon juice either straight or mixed with water for a fragrant alternative that also cuts through residue. You can also rub lemon halves dipped in baking soda on the glass.
- Specialized Cleaners: Commercial limescale removers or glass stain removers like DFI’s Glass Rescue™ work well for stubborn hard water stains.
Additional tips include drying the glass thoroughly after cleaning, and using commercial shower screen protectors to prevent buildup. Daily or frequent quick cleaning keeps shower glass sparkling and reduces heavy scrubbing needs later.
In summary, effective shower glass cleaning involves regular wiping, using vinegar-based sprays or mixes with dish soap or baking soda, and occasionally applying stronger commercial cleaners for tough stains.
