How to Clean Showers (Shower Cabins, Glass Partitions, Shower Heads)

Shower cabins and showers with glass partitions are not easy to keep clean. Limescale and soap scum build up over the time and there comes a point when the cleaning requires more than the regular bathroom cleaners.

The glass shower doors or partitions can be cleaned with white vinegar, applied with a non scratching sponge with circular motions for a few minutes. Make sure to cover the entire area and also the frames of the shower doors or partitions. Rinse with hot water and wipe dry. For stubborn hard-water deposits and soap grime, repeat the cleaning procedure.

For cleaning of tiled walls, use white vinegar too but first rinse the walls with very hot water, it will help to ease the dirt and make it easier to clean. If vinegar only does not clean the tiled walls, mix a half cup of vinegar, quarter cup of baking soda and one cup clear ammonia in a gallon of water and soak the walls with the mixture, applying with a non scratching sponge. Keep applying for a few minutes then rinse well with clean hot water and wipe dry.

To deep clean a metal shower head, you have to take it off the main appliance and disassemble it. Soak the parts in a bowl with white vinegar and let it in until the limescale has cleared. Use a toothbrush to clean the limescale and grime, also a toothpick if you want to clean the holes. A toothbrush will not damage the surface of the shower head as a sponge might do.

The easiest way to keep the shower cabins or the glass shower partitions clean is the daily care. You can either use an industrial daily shower cleaner, squeegee to wipe down the water or wipe dry the surfaces.
