How To Clean Glass Shower Doors

Learning how to clean glass shower doors properly may seem like a chore, but this deep-clean method takes 30 minutes or less and always provides good results. It only needs to be done once a month, depending on frequency of shower use.

To clean glass shower doors, you will need:

• Gloves
• Scrubbie sponge or pad
• Soap scum remover or toilet bowl cleaner
• Window cleaner
• Soft cotton cloth or paper towels

1. Wear gloves, and keep the bathroom ventilated. Open a window or door, and turn on the fan. If you are using toilet bowl cleaner, make sure to dilute 4 ounces into 2 cups of water.
2. Apply cleaner to wet shower doors with a scrubbie pad or spray bottle. If you use soap scum remover, spray onto the doors. Do not mix the two cleaners, as this can cause harmful fumes.
3. Allow the cleaner to sit for 5-10 minutes.
4. Using the scrubbie sponge, wash shower doors in a circular motion starting at the top and working your way down. You may need to add more cleaner and repeat.
5. Rinse the glass very well, then use the squeegee to remove excess water.
6. If it looks like all of the soap scum is removed, you can then spray with window cleaner on both sides.
7. Wipe off glass cleaner with a cloth and your glass shower doors should be sparkling like new.

If you prefer to use natural cleaning products to clean glass shower doors, make sure to select a concentrated cleaner and don't overly dilute it. All-purpose cleaners will work as well. You can maintain this in between cleanings by using a squeegee after showers, or by spraying shower doors with window cleaner and wiping with paper towels or a cotton cloth.
