5 Ways to clean your shower glass

Glass shower doors are a lovely addition to the shower because they offer elegance and luxury to the space, but like other bathroom fixtures that are exposed to moisture, they can accumulate unsightly filth and mineral deposits. The shower glass door collects dust, mildew, and other stains, making the bathroom unpleasant to look at. As a result, you’ll need to clean it on a frequent basis to maintain it looking good. You can reduce the number of deep cleanings you have to undertake and keep your shower gleaming with some widely available household items and consistent effort.

TIPS TO CLEAN SHOWER GLASS

With Lemon

Cut a lemon in half and rub both sides of the glass door with the cut side dipped in baking soda. The baking soda combines with the acid in the lemon to create a sudsy foam. If possible, wipe the door with a little lemon oil after you’ve cleaned the glass. The oil repels water, preventing the soap from drying on the glass. In addition, the aroma of fresh lemon is far more pleasant than bleach.

Borax And Baking Soda

A paste made from borax, water, and baking soda can efficiently clean the shower glass door. Using a damp sponge, apply the thick paste to the glass door surface and rinse after a short time. You can also make a baking soda and vinegar paste. Wait 20 minutes after applying this on your shower glass before rinsing it off. Combining borax or ammonia with chlorine bleach can be dangerous. The vapours alone can harm the skin and organs, as well as the environment. If your shower door is too dirty to be cleaned with simple cleaners, then you can always rely on a professional house cleaning service for help.

Warm Vinegar

Some stains are simple to remove, while others are difficult to wipe away. Some persistent stains, such as soap scums, can be removed by using warm white vinegar on glass surfaces. Heat the water and vinegar for around 30 seconds. Scrub the door’s surface with a rag dipped in the material. Cover the damaged areas with a clean, warm cloth and wait for 5 minutes before rinsing them off. An unpleasant odour from the vinegar may linger for a while after cleaning until it completely dries.

Clean Toilets With Baking Soda And Vinegar

If you’re looking for an alternative to toilet cleaners, you can make one yourself. Mix equal parts bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar and pour it into and around the toilet, pushing it into the space beneath the rim with a toilet brush. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes before scrubbing and flushing. For a shining toilet, repeat the process on a regular basis.

Use Indigestion Pills To Unclog Drains

Toothpaste or razor sludge and soap clogging the drain could be the reason for a slow draining sink. You can try using indigestion tablets from your medicine cabinet to unclog this. Pour four effervescent indigestion tablets and a cup of distilled vinegar down the drain. Allow for a 10-minute cooling period before adding a pot of boiling water.

Ammonia

An ammonia-based cleaner can be used as a shower glass cleaner at home. All you have to do is fully mix the ammonia with water and pour it into a spray bottle. Apply the solution to the filthy shower glass door and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then wipe it clean with a dry microfiber, working your way from the top to the bottom of the glass door. This technique can also be used to clean tempered glass shower doors.

Make A Daily Shower Spray

Using a shower spray on a daily basis can help you go longer between deep cleanings. Mix 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vinegar, a little dish soap, and 10-20 drops of your favourite essential oil for aroma, if desired, to make your own cleaner without spending a lot of money or using harsh chemicals. Keep it in the shower, spray it on the door after use and squeegee the glass door afterwards. If you have a stone tile shower, you should skip the vinegar.
