Easy Methods of Cleaning Glass Shower Doors

Pick a chore that you least like to do, and cleaning glass shower doors would be right at the top of the list. Especially if you have never been in the habit of cleaning it right after you take your shower. If more than one person showers in the stall or tub, you’ve got a problem.

First you’ll have to tackle the job from a professional’s point of view, and you’ll need to know what you’re up against.

Do you have hard water? If so you probably have hard water stains. There are products at your grocery or hardware stores. One is called CLR, it is powerful, and hopefully you’ll only have to use it once. Just follow the directions, or if you don’t want to use harsh chemicals, try lemon oil. It works well to remove those stains. Then go to the next step.

Soap scum and grime or just plain dirt. Again there are products that work to remove the scum and dirt. They are available at those same stores mentioned above. Again, if you prefer more natural products, not to mention cheaper, try mixing ½ cup of white vinegar and ½ cup of hot water. Run the hot water in your bathroom to create steam. Then apply the mixture on your glass shower doors and let it sit for a minimum of five minutes. Wipe it down with a clean wet sponge or if you prefer, use a squeegee.

You can continue using these methods every time you can’t see through the glass shower door. Or a much easier process, and one that will keep the door and the walls of your shower clean, wipe them down every time you or someone else uses the shower. Insist that everyone in your family does the same thing.

After you’ve cleaned the shower with those harsh chemicals, wipe it thoroughly down with the lemon oil, and apply it regularly. Then all you’ll need to do is rinse the glass shower door and the walls in your shower with a clean damp cloth or squeegee. You’ll be amazed how much easier it is to keep the glass shower door clean.

There is another way though. If you hire a professional to clean the windows in your home, ask how much more it would cost to clean your glass shower doors. Surely there is someone who will do it for a price.
