Bye bye bath

I wipe dry every time, first with the ‘ scraper ‘ then dry off with a towel. I do this mainly to keep the tile grout and seal as fresh for as long as possible. Because I don’t enjoy it, I sometimes have a bath instead!

I have hurt my hip getting out of the bath and must now shower instead. I hate showers and the worst bit is wiping down every surface afterwards. Our water is very hard but I wonder if everyone really does this after every shower?

No I don’t, I have to shower only now as tho I can get in and bathe…I can’t get out again !
I swill down the mat and bath and wipe it over when necessary…unless there are obvious rings around the bath!
Maybe I just can’t see them?

I've just thrown out our screen wiper, thank you for the recommendation about the OXO one, lixy.

Our water isn't very hard so I'll give it a good scrub with one of those net body scrubbers and leftover shampoo in between more thorough cleans.

What goes around comes around - I bought the Oxo one after a recommendation on a GN thread about cleaning showers a few years ago!
It really does do a good job.

If I had enough room, I'd have the shower cubicle removed and one built in with tiled walls, no door, so much easier to clean without cracks, crevices and glass doors.

I use a rubber scraper after each shower as well. No different really from cleaning the bath after each use.
On reading this back I must clarify, I use a rubber scraper to clean the shower cubicle after each shower.

😂😂😂
I imagined you were scraping yourself down with the OXO scraper before you got out of the shower, sodapop

We take in turns to dry our shower daily. Using a window vac and the a microfibre cloth, it takes a few minutes. The grouting and sealant stay pristine so we see it as saving work in the long run. Also, the bathroom always looks as new which pleases us. Ours is a big walk in shower where the bath used to stand.

Method shower spray and leave here too, nice and simple.

I've used Method products for a long time and thought the ingredients were natural but one spray did cause me a problem recently.

Apparently big supermarkets in Australia have stopped stocking them since they found that they were being labelled as non-toxic when in fact they are not.
Has anyone else had a problem? Do you use a mask when spraying any of these shower shine products, supposedly natural ones like Mehod included?

Apparently Method and Ecover have both been bought by SC Johnson, a large company owning many household brand names.
I didn't know that 🤔

We have a water softener too and it solves most problems, though the water tap in the kitchen and bathroom sinks need to be hard water so those do need more cleaning.
It also improves the toilet, just a quick swish with a brush is all you need.

I use mr muscle shower shine,just spray and leave,it’s brilliant stuff, no need to wipe or anything!

Invest in a shower head with masses of tiny beads in the stem - available from Amazon. Our water here on the edge of the Cotswolds is as hard as you can get it, being a limestone area, and this shower head is amazing. The beads filter the water so there’s absolutely no scum at all and feels beautifully soft. Just a quick wipe down with a micro cloth is all you’ll need, I promise you!

'Astonish' daily shower spray can be picked up in most bargain homeware stores and pound shops. My local pound shop still sells it for a £1.
Also if you are having a shower/bathroom refit consider using wall paneling instead of tiles. Lots of new finishes and colours to be had.....and no grout to clean! What's not to like!

I have hip and knee problems, so I was having trouble getting in and out of the bath.
I found a firm called U-door, which put a waterproof door in the side of the bath.
Problem solved!

I spray the wet bits with Method daily shower spray after each use.- before dressing. I am asthmatic and avoid most cleaning sprays but don’t seem to react to this one.

After every shower I wipe down the glass doors, taps, shower head and holder with a flannel, as well as sopping up the water lying on the flat surround, to stop mould appearing.
For cleaning I use whiter vinegar, which I spray everywhere on the walls and doors, when I feel the need to clean.
I can’t deal with those rubber scrapers, they leave streaks when I use them.

The same. Method spray and leave.

We have showers which we use mostly but also a small spa bath, same dimensions as an ordinary bath. Easy enough to get in but getting out I have to turn onto my knees first these days. That works for me. Sick of getting older, it sucks!

I dry off the shower walls and glass surround with a large microfibre towel before I get out of the cubicle after showering, then use the Karcher window vacuum to clear the base after I get out. Luckily we have reasonably soft water so limescale is not a big problem.

i use "wet and forget" spray - spray it on the shower after each use, and it helps keep it clean

Sounds similar to the one I use called Wet & Forget

I agree. I have a walk in shower and use a squeegee on the glass and tiles followed by a window vac. I use a micro fibre cloth around the bottom of the walls then spray all over with Shower shine. As you say it takes minutes and well worth doing.
