shower screen cleaning help

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

Use a squeegee.

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.

Viakal is good.

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.

Totally agree I use Showershine too supermarket own brand

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).

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.

Vinegar and a squeezee

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.....

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

Sew weights into the hem of the curtain.

Use a floor wipe and then a squeegee. Argos sell one for £8.50. It takes all of 2 minutes!

For safety reasons we are unable to have a shower screen installed over the bath so I am still searching for the holy grail of shower curtains!
I have bought, and returned, so many. It must be heavyweight, white and hang beautifully (my OCD tendencies dictate this ).
Our shower cubicle stays super clean with use of a squeegee or a microfibre cloth on a daily basis with a light scrub using F Liquid for general cleaning.
If anyone can recommend a suitable shower curtain I'd be forever grateful

I just wipe my screen with a microfibre cloth every time I use the shower.

We had our glass shower screen taken out, it was fitted by some builders against my wishes and was too small to be any use.
We have shower curtains which are easy to throw in the washing machine.

I wipe with a rubber squeegee and dry with the towel. Once a week clean it both sides with vinegar and it sparkles.
It's plain toughened glass. Not a sign of limescale.

Daily shower spray is your friend! Just spray after showering, job done.

Sometimes I use Fairy Liquid. Sometimes I use white vinegar and sometimes I use a combination of both.

Sometimes I use shampoo!

NB; I would use easier to get shower spray bathroom cleaner - but that would mean using a "conventional" one (ie me breathing in conventional chemicals - agh!!!). But it's no big deal to get the eco one I use that I figure won't be a risk to me - as I just order it several at a time from Amazon.

1. Squeegee on shower screen door and shower tiles (wiping off excess water). then 2. Duzzit bathroom wipes used on both then 3. Finally Delphis Eco professional cleaning bathroom cleaner sprayed on and just left there to "do its thing".

I was very tied-up with dealing with a combination of unreliable workmen (it's what they call the Pembrokeshire Promise in this area - ie they promise, but they often don't turn up) and bad neighbours = so cleaning got out of hand with me having to spend so much of my time on dealing with them and my shower went really manky, followed by more hassles here. So I've landed up paying variously 2 friends and then one cleaning firm (including a woman who tried to spin me a tale of it was impossible to clean the bottom foot of my shower doors - it wouldn't have been if she had been slim and fitter/so her boss had to be called in to do it for her).

After all that and all of that hassle is much more under control now - I don't want my shower becoming "difficult to clean again" for a 4th time! Hence I've worked out the above routine as being minimal possible effort I can do to keep my shower clean - and it takes me just a few minutes to do immediately after I've had a shower. I think that'll do the trick that it'll never get to "oh heck!!!"/pay someone else to rescue it level again.

Between the lot too and I'd had to pay twice over to people to strip and replace the shower sealant because of all that "distraction from housework etc" stuff that had been going on. So I didn't want the sealant going all horrible again - but there was still a tiny patch of mould that hadn't come off - but this routine has caused that tiny patch to go and should mean I don't get any mould back again on my twice-replaced sealant.

Vinegar spray or now and then lemon juice.

We don’t use sprays, just an OXO good grips window wiper on the inside. I bought it after a recommendation in a discussion on Gnet a few years ago!
Ordinary multi-surface polish for the outside.
