We are daily shower people, spray with Method or other environmental friendly daily shower spray, the cleaner works her magic weekly.

Newquay, I love our walk in shower, in there every morning. I find the best stuff for keeping screen clean is a shower screen spray . Mr Muscle shower shine is a good one. After you finish showering simply spray the glass screens and leave - Do NOT wipe. It is amazing stuff. Job done!!

I'm afraid usually I shower twice a day if I go out on public transport. But I have a wet room and find the cleaning reasonably easy. I do have friends who shower a couple of times a week. So I guess it's personal preference. Have you considered a cleaner once a fortnight if it's getting a little like hard work

I shower and wash hair and teeth whilst in the shower every day 7 am
If I ve been sea swimming or had a dirty allotment morning I may shower again later

I love our walk in shower but I agree, it is a right royal pain having to clean it down. Microfibres cloths are a great help. The biggest faff is having to get down on my hands and knees to clean the full length shower tray.

Daily Shower Shine- I use “Method” but other brands are available. Spray after your shower before you get out.
We have very hard water here and it copes well with limescale and other scummy things which can cloud (to put it politely) the shower screens, the walls and the tray.

Shower and hair wash everyday. Our cleaner cleans the showers!

Shower is such a nuisance. I used to have a bath instead simply because of all the cleaning. But now after I shower I turn the water quite hot and rinse it all down well. I only clean it once a week.

We both shower daily and spray the shower after the 2and one is done. We need to clean it "properly" much much less than we did when we didn't use an after-shower spray.

Walls not floors!! Although I do wipe round the floor edge with a long handled sponge

We had bath taken out and a lovely walk in shower installed.
I tend to shower and wash hair every other day.
Although I like feeling fresh and doing hair I’m beginning to find the whole thing a right performance especially cleaning down the screen and floors afterwards.
Sometimes DH goes in after me so he does it then.
