4 Ways to Clean Your Shower Screen

Here are four super easy steps to make your shower screen sparkle like brand new:

1. Dishwashing Detergent

Shower screen cleaning does not need to be too complex or costly. If you are looking for an easy cleaning hack, you can start right in your kitchen.

●     Grab your dishwashing detergent and squirt some of the liquid on a soft cloth.

●     Rub the detergent-soaked cloth on the shower screen for as long as it takes to remove the spots.

●     After that, rinse the detergent remnant with a splash of water.

●     If you don't have dishwasher detergent at the moment, you can use any regular mild soap.

●     Dilute the soap solution with water and rub it on the shower screen glass, as mentioned above.

●     Make sure you don't use any harsh cloth or cleaning brush that can leave scratches on the glass.

2. Baking Soda & Vinegar

Another great solution to clean your shower screens straight out of your kitchen is baking soda and vinegar.

●     Start by soaking the glass with a splash of water to soften the greedy spots and dirt.

●     Next, make a solution of baking soda with vinegar and dip your cleaning cloth in it.

●     Use the same cloth to wipe the screen clean until you can no longer see any marks on the glass.

 

Remember to dilute your baking soda solution with vinegar. Without that, the solution will be too harsh on your glass and might even leave scratch marks.

 

3. White Vinegar Spray

If you don't want to go through the hassle of mixing baking soda, you can simply use white vinegar mixed with water. White vinegar is best known for loosening up greedy hard water deposits - your bathroom’s biggest enemy.

 

If you are planning to use undiluted white vinegar, we recommend spot cleaning. Dry off the shower screen and paste vinegar-soaked paper towels directly over the spots. For faster cleaning, you can also stick multiple layers of paper towels. Leave them on for at least 45 minutes before rinsing the vinegar residue. You’ll find the shower screen shining bright and spotless.

 

Ensure you keep the vinegar away from any rubber fitting on the shower screen. The acidic nature of vinegar might corrode away rubber fittings.

4. Lemon Juice & Salt

Any substance with a mild acidic presence is a great cleaning agent for shower screens, and the same goes for lemon juice. The citric acid in lemons can not only remove stains but is rich in antioxidants and anti-bacterial properties. They also prevent the growth of unhealthy bacteria, yeast and mould. At the same time, salt is an excellent stain absorbent. No stain is too greedy to be removed by salt.

 

All that you have to do is mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with two tablespoons of salt and scrub the mixture on your shower screen. Lemon and salt also act as a great cleaning agent for the greedy grime hidden under the metal frames of a shower screen. A soft-bristled toothbrush and this DIY mixture can help you scrape off every hint of dirt from the frames.

How to Keep Your Shower Screen Clean?

Weekly cleaning isn't enough. If you want your shower screen clean all the time, here are a few tips you will find helpful:

 

1. Make it a habit to wipe your shower screen after use. The splash of water droplets from the faucet or the condensation from your hot water system Perth can leave marks on the glass. Instead of letting those marks stay and grow greedy, remove them as soon as possible.

 

2. Invest in a nice squeegee and use it post-shower as frequently as possible. This will keep the harsh, hard water stains at bay.

 

3. Along with the glass, remember to polish your fittings, fixtures and tapware Perth with white vinegar every week instead of letting the rust grow.
