Shower screens, best way to keep sparkling and smear free? ?

Holding my breath for the results.
Three projects on the go now?
Kitchen cupboard
Shower screen
Trellis?
You didn't tell us about that one, or did I miss it?

Oh Phoenix, you are a tonic for the soul, and I love hearing about the goings on in Phoenix Towers.

We have a Karcher window thingy in the bathroom, and even DH uses it.
Wonders will never cease, although we do still get tiny bits of limescale on the shower screen at the base.

What is it about chaps and their very noisy ablutions?

Oh heavens!

So many responses! Thank you all!

Will get back to reply once I've sorted out the trellis (different topic, sorry, multi tasking!)

Well I use slave labour in the form of my 2 year old DGD who loves washing the shower screen with soap suds and then using a squeegee to remove the suds. This keeps her happy for ages and I get a lovely clean shower screen. Win win.

I know what you mean Septimia my DH makes a right mess (and noise) getting washed . It makes me cringe listening to it and I just know there will be splashes everywhere .

I would get a new Mr P but interview him first to make sure his ablution habits cut the mustard!?.

My full length one isn't clean. I keep forgetting to put the spray on it.

Mr S splashes water everywhere from the basin - mainly onto the shelf adjacent where I keep all my toiletries. His shelf is higher up - and dry. I think I made a mistake there......

Cream cleaner on a j cloth and then wash it of with the shower head - gleaming and streak free. I don't find the daily shower clean stuff works as well but keep some there as when my sons visit they are not so diligent.

I have a walk in corner shower with curved sides and doors so a squeegee would be a total faff.
Daily Shower Shine (Method is my favourite) sprayed on the wet surfaces after a shower works brilliantly (and we have very hard water here) .

I find the daily shower stuff works just fine if you use it straight away.

I have a full length walk in shower and so the shower screen is huge! I know you don't want to use the squeegee method but it's the only one that has worked for me. The only other thing I can think of is, wait until MrP has finished his sploshing, go in after him, and the use one of those Karcher steam window vacuums? I've not used one but I've seen them recommended on Mumsnet as being quick and easy to use.

@phoenix - you made me laugh. Mr P sounds much like Mr M . He's very good in many ways, but it usually takes a long time and a lot of effort to get him to change his routine.

We have very hard water and the shower screen gets lime encrusted reasonably quickly. I've just started using Rain X after cleaning it to see if that reduces number of times I need to clean it/effort required to clean it. It's meant for car windscreens, to keep the raindrops from sitting on the windscreen. Someone I know uses it and reckons it works but it will be a few weeks probably before can see if it makes a difference.

If you live in a hard water area I can highly recommend getting a water softener fitted. I wouldn’t be without one and so glad I don’t have to clean limescale of taps, shower screens etc. anymore.

I think you just have to be a different sort of person.

Would it maybe be better to get rid of the shower screen and simply mop up the wet floor? Or maybe get a succession of cheap plastic shower curtains that you throw away after a while?

Mine are also spotless. I don't use a squeegee but spray every day with Mr Muscle shower shine then once a week I wash with a spray cleaner and wipe down with a window cloth.
It may help though, that I live in a area of very soft water.

Phoenix if a scraper/squeegee is out of the question, you will fall at the first hurdle.

My shower screens are spotless thanks to a combination of squeegee wipedown (takes moments) plus a spray of Morrisons Shower Every Day after each and every use.
