Sew weights into the hem of the curtain.

I used squeegee to remove most of the water then dry with a microfibre cloth

We have had our glass shower cabin for over 20!years now. For much of that time I was working and the boys were at home and showering at all times of the day. None of us cleaned the shower after use.

We have a build-up of limescale which I have been fighting for at least five years now. I have tried all kinds of scourers, vinegar, proprietary shower cleaners, industrial limescale treatments, scrapers and everything from organic to radical methods.

It is just getting worse. I've even thought we will have to replace the glass soon.

The moral of the story is: clean is after every use. And dry thoroughly.
Water is the enemy - that's where the limescale is hiding.

JackyB - Before you give up on the glass do try that Delphis Eco bathroom cleaner. I expect it's not cheap comparatively speaking - given it's got royal warrant logos on it. But I had tried a variety of things - and when I had a friend doing the cleaning of it one time her reaction was "Wow! I'm getting some of this stuff myself. It's good". You might as well try it and - given how long you've neglected it - give it several goes and see what happens.

But yep...I absolutely agree with you that showers do need regular cleaning - as otherwise the glass goes very yukky/hard to deal with. Maybe a combination of that and one of those little foam-y sponge pad things with a scratchy surface one side?

Moral of the story is defo "Don't let bad neighbours/bad workmen distract you from your own life (including housework)" on the one hand or "General male laziness" in your case.....

NB; I've just checked the Amazon website re the price. A 750 ml container of it is £4. There's also Delphis eco toilet and limescale cleaner - £2.50.

I don't usually rate eco cleaners - which is a nuisance (as that's what I want to use) - but it does seem better than conventional ones even (and the spray bottle is a sturdy one that I can wash out and repurpose for something else - unlike many spray bottles out there).

Vinegar and a squeezee

The most eco friendly way to get rid of lime scale is a steam cleaner. And it works!!!
If you a have a wallpaper remover steamer so much the better because it has a larger steam area.

Totally agree I use Showershine too supermarket own brand

Just use a squeegee every time you shower. Works brilliantly! If there's a build up of calcium around the edges, industrial while vinegar will dissolve it.

Viakal is good.

I usually wipe with a small drop of washing up liquid on a micro cloth, rinse then use a small size window wiper. The wiper is held on the inside of the shower door by a sucker so ready to use just to clear water off. I have used spray shower cleaners but find the w.up and wiper just as good.

Use a squeegee.

Shower screen spray before leaving the shower works wonders. No build up.

Super girls Nan , I use the pink stuff window cleaner on screen , its amazing stuff and I live in a hard water area

Astonish White Vinegar spray is great!

I swear by viakal on our shower screen great on taps all timescale prone things and particularly the shower head just spray leave for a moment or two wipe clean and buff

Viakill

I also use viakal and a squeegee the kind you use on cars. Squeegee during the week after shower then viakal every couple of weeks wouldn't use anything else.

I use a mixture of white vinegar, water and a squirt of washing up liquid. I spray it on, then wipe with a squeezee, then dry with a micro fibre cloth. I don't do it after each shower though, just when it's showing water marks

The battery operated Karcher hand held machine is brilliant- it sucks up all the water in minutes- can be easily emptied and also has a rechargeable battery. Never had to wipe the glass clean with anything else. Was recommended by the plumber who put the shower in.

Every two or 3 days I spray the inside of the shower screen with limescale preventer/remover, wipe down with a sponge then rinse off using the shower head. Stays clean and shiny. Easy to do when you are already in the shower and wet! I do the same with the wall tiles.

I use a squeegee then spray shower shine over it (Aldi's is cheapest but does a good job shining the glass) Easy to do. No shower curtain sticking to your body

Squeegie on glass and tiles and base then finish off by drying more odd bits like chrome with a towel that is on its way to the laundry. We are lucky to live in soft water area.

I use aTesco daily shower spray and sometimes Viakill which is spray on wipe off - brilliant.

Sorry, Viakal

Have used Viakal in the past but now live in area with very soft water and never seem to have a problem
