For some time, due to mental health and physical constraints, my shower wasn't cleaned as regularly as it should have been. I then began using a squeegy but could not bend or squat properly to doe the floor so I switched to using a towel which seemed to work but I still have an issue with bending etc. I then found a small head mop with extending handle and microfibre removable pad and that has been a game changer. I don't have to bend and just squeeze out the pad, using a second one if necessary and reuse them a few times before machine washing. The glass and tiles are cleaned without effort. I do have some permanent hard water stains on the glass but it is clean which is the main thing.

I sprayed, left it for 15 minutes, spread the mixture around lightly with a household sponge and rinsed the lot off. What surprised me was that the process didn't generate a never-ending load of soap suds to wash away from so much dish soap [washing-up liquid, as we say in the UK!]. It was so easy!

Great vlog Melissa. I’ve had a squeegee in our shower forever and it takes a few seconds to wipe down the glass and walls. I’ve never had to scrub/ spend lots of time cleaning this as a result. We also have a built in water softener which means there’s no hard water / limescale build up as a result which also helps. They are an investment but worth it if you live in a hard water area

Oh my goodness-that soap and vinegar recipe really works!! I have been struggling with hard water stains for years and they finally are off. THANK YOU!!!

Our rule is to squeeze or dry the shower after every use. I then scrub every few days - at least once a week with vinegar and dish soap mixture. I use a dish scrubber that allows the mixture in the handle, dedicated to the shower. Just easier for me than another spray bottle. I also work on the glass shower door every six months car windshield stuff designed to make rain run off quickly. Seems to help with the glass.

The glass manufacturer added a coating and I can’t use a squeegee or it could scratch it and void the warranty. So we use a squeegee on the tile and microfiber cloth on the glass. I also thoroughly dry the faucet and all metal. It’s been 9 months and it looks like new.

The only thing that got the soap scum off my fiberglass shower was a razor.... And then I used the vinegar and baking soda and Dawn soap with a magic eraser and sponge. I tried everything I could and I saw a video about this and it works like a charm.

We renovated our bathroom 5 months ago (took out the tub and in a shower!), and I am bent on keeping it looking beautiful. Thank you for this video. I have a squeegee in our shower too! It has a hook on the end, so I hang it on the bar soap holder attached to the shower system. My mom kept telling me I had to dry the shower every time with a towel, so instead I got the squeegee. Less work with a squeegee, don't have to rub another load of laundry! Takes 30-45 seconds with the squeegee, and I get some squat exercises in!! I'll try your vinegar and dish soap recipe to clean any soap scum that sneaks in. Iike the idea of baking soda and dishsoap for my tile floor because it's glazed. What say you? Thanks in advance!

I visited a friend in the Netherlands who had me squeegee the shower after each use (eye roll) because she was selling the house. But now that I have a big glass shower like the one in the video I use the squeegee. It has stayed looking new.

I have shower curtains on all three of my showers. Glass stays clean. I take shower curtain down from time to time and wash on delicate cycle in washing machine and put it in the dryer with a couple of bath towels on low heat to dry. Works perfectly.

Thanks for this! I have a rental house that we are moving into and the tub was so gross. Fiberglass surround from the 80's and a porcelain tub that is still in good shape but filthy. I had to use a razor blade to scrape the soap scum off in sheets. It was like I was shaving a bar of soap! After this, still soap scum left, so I tried the dish soap/baking soda and it made a big difference! Moreso than CLR or even toilet bowl cleaner I had previously tried.

I've heard 1 to 1 mixture of Dawn liquid detergent and White Vinegar. Spray bottle. Done and done.

We are a family of four and we always shower one right after the other so only the last person has to squeegee. And we only have to ventilate once. That also saves a lot of money for central heating and CO2.

Excellent video! I’ve been looking for a non-toxic way to clean my shower after I shower. I will definitely try the vinegar-and-water recipe. I have back issues and cannot easily bend or extend to clean my shower stall so, yes, we clean it after every use (mostly!) and then thoroughly clean it every week or two.

Does your diy solution work with fiberglass or any other non-tile materials? Thank you.

I have a wipe-down towel I wipe everything down with after each shower. Wash it with the other towels. I haven't had to scrub down shower in over 4 years. It was too much grief to replace the shower, I didn't want to mess around moving forward. I have no glass though, might not do as well as a squeegee on glass, but I think it would be drier. Maybe squeegee on glass, towel for non-glass areas for best results.

Loved the video, but one question. Being that I am a housekeeper, how can you rinse without a removable shower head ?

In general, abrasive things are not good for glass, as they can scratch. Eraser sponges are all at least somewhat abrasive iirc, and some of them even have extra-abrasive sides. That's not to say you can't use ANYTHING abrasive on glass, just that you should test in a hidden area first to make absolutely certain it is not damaging it.

I had a water softener installed to help me with the hard water. It has made a massive difference.

First for glass panels in shower, check to see if mfgr put a specific coating on glass. If you can. On my shower cannot use some common household liquids.

For a time saver, use a dedicated 1 gallon garden sprayer, pump it up & your finished in less than a minute.

Hi. I’m an avid follower of yr tips. Got yr 50tips ebook too. But in all the years, I’ve heard very little about how to clean natural stone. I have marble, granite and grey limestone on my home. Would really appreciate some info on cleaning. Thankx

I squeegee after EVERY shower and dry the glass portions with a glass microfiber cloth and the tile walls and floor with a super absorbing microfiber cloth and never has to remove soap scum🤗

These are great tips! I have glass and Travertine! We bought the place because dang Travertine looks elegant! But holy cow, like you said, you can't use anything normal on it. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I use a cleaner made for porous stone. Every now and then, I'll just use Tilex to smack the mold into submission. And I'm supposed to reseal the shower, but that hasn't happened in a hot minute. And i do run the fan after a shower.

The essential oil also removes soap scum in the water/detergent combo. Sanitizes too. Kills off tinea on the shower base. Anti-viral (particularly Lavender or Eucalyptus essential oils - Thursday Plantation is fine to use) - Here in Australia one can buy larger quantities of Eucalyptus in a water soluble format as well as undiluted. Brand called Bosistos. Very recommended to add a cap full to the spray bottle when someone in the house isn't well with a 'virus'.

I would be curious about the non-DIY products also. Sometimes DIY solutions aren’t strong enough for tough or built- on scum

Soap dissolves grease and oil. Soap scum is none of those. The only thing that dishsoap does is create a thicker viscosity for the vinegar to adhere longer. Why people use soap to dissolve soap boggles my mind. If you have faucets that are encrusted with soap scum, saturate strips of paper towels and let sit on the bad areas for half an hour to an hour. The soap scum will come right off. I spray my shower walls with vinegar and then mix salt, baking soda, and a small amount of water to form a paste. Then I scrub it off in a circular motion and rinse. We squeegee our glass shower doors every day, which helps them stay clean and clear. But to deep clean the rest, I use the method above - no dish soap! Also, using shower gel is better than a soap bar for preventing soap scum.

Hi so true I’m also having a hard time with my stove I e used easy off. Baking soda and still isn’t getting clean the baking soda just doesn’t want to clear

Are use vinegar in my hair when I take a shower and then I spray my shower walls with the same vinegar I use in my hair. And then after I’m done, I squeegee my walls my shower floor and my shower doors every time. My shower is always clean. Just thought I’d share that.❤

One thing to keep in mind is that, once hard water stains have set in in glass doors, you wont be able to remove them completely as the minerals from the water fuse with the glass. So, better to prevent them by wiping with a towel after each shower.

this all sounds great but I just use my hand made bar soap and a scrub pad. Apply the barsoap to the wet pad and have at it, then rinse, works great. And yes use the squeegee after every shower, takes 10 seconds and I have a big shower (over 6'x3.5').

Clean the shower every other week. I do use a squeegee to prevent too much build up.

Thanks for your helpful videos. My shower is a mix of materials so cleaning seems impossible. I have glass, natural stone, ceramic tile, and glass tiles. I would appreciate any tips on the best product (DIY) to clean my shower as a whole.

The problem with the squeegee is you need to do that right after showering with the water off, so you're standing there for a few minutes naked, and cold cleaning the glass. Honestly, I hate it, I sometimes do clean the glass that way, but it's a pain. I would love to have a walk in tiled shower enclosed, like you walk in turn the corner, and shower, no glass doors, but I can't afford the remodel.

I use a squeegee followed by a towel on the glass shower doors any time water hits the glass.

I’m thinking about trying an automotive spray sealant called sonax spray and seal. If this works then no kind of buildup could ever cling to any of my shower again until the sealant wore off, which could probably take a very long time.

Dawn 4X dish soap and the scotch brite blue/white eraser works great as well. Dial soap and other bar soaps need to be cleaned at least every two weeks to maintain and not build up. If Dial bar soap has built up over the years, It will take a lot of soaking scrubbing to remove it, because it is like dry powdery wax when you scrape it off. I have found that spraying straight Pine-Sol brand, Pine-Sol, softens it. Sometimes you have to remove it and layers if it’s been on for years. Depending on the top shower, you have, cheap oven cleaner worked well. Test a spot first. I must be properly ventilated and use gloves, so it will not burn your hands and cause cancer.

I had one just like that and it drove me crazy. Tiny fiberglass shower stall, and parts of the chrome door track got moldy and it was physically impossible to get to it with anything to clean it. Couldn't even squeeze a toothbrush in there. I finally took the whole thing off, filled the screw holes, and hung a shower curtain. I don't understand why doors like that are even manufactured.

I always squeezy my shower after use. Can I use these solutions on my hard plastic shower door? ❤

I wander if applying ClearView automotive windscreen protectant to the shower glass would make a difference. It is designed to flow down water instead of beading and holding water drops. I think it is just alcohol based so perhaps just apply some rubbing alcohol once a week or so will suffice. Another thought .. standard car wax or those fancy ceramic liquid layers. The soap studs would have no chance of adhering to the glass to begin with 😎
