Cleaning dirty shower, tiles and acrylic glass

Firstly, I have tried vinegar and lemon juice as recommended frequently. Fortunately I'm not in an area with Limescale! Used ordinary commercial cheap bog standard shower cleaners of course without success

Its not fair to call it really "dirty", as it isn't, as no mould and has been cleaned lightly and not used much. But without realising it, over years, tracks of previous soaps and shampoos have built up which no amount of elbow grease and vinegar/soaps will budge.

Looking back it needed cleaning after nearly every use. Didn't really notice or realise - one of those things where you think, "oh I'll give it a proper clean one day": hindsight a great thing.

so it "looks" reasonably OK, till the light shines on the tiles and the plastic glass and the greasy solid tracks are all too visible, and its not really clean and nice.

so I'm looking for a product that will really dissolve these tracks so it looks spiffing and shiny

this is very good

www.ocado.com/products/astonish-mould-mildew-trigger-spray-98782011?gclid=CjwKCAjwgqejBhBAEiwAuWHioIsmtHhVooDFHHFTexBjgeVLNbWa3i6CNYule4erymGVoav72QvNXRoClKwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

but don't use it on any painted surfaces as it really is very strong

DianaLouise - I purchased a box of 12 from ebay quite some time ago but if you Google it I’m sure you’ll find some somewhere!! Good luck

Have you tried the spray called ELBOW GREASE? I found it very good.

Not trying to lower the tone here, (I'm finding this to be a helpful thread) but am I the only one who finds she has to be naked inside the shower cubicle, in order to give it a really good clean? Truly I can't manage to clean it well, while wearing clothes: I just become soaked! Any advice on how to clean a shower while dressed, would be welcome.

I know someone who wears her bikini to clean the shower 🙂

I really don't like the thought of being in an enclosed shower cubicle and using chemical sprays.

Bar Keepers Friend tackles most things and doesn’t leave a residue.

This. I use it for so many things. It's like a finer (and more expensive) version of Ajax or Vim, which seem to have vanished from shelves.
