I hate cleaning the shower

[Lisa D]

Does anyone have an easy/effective way to do it?

1. CLR dissolves calcium, lime and rust. Works well for me.

2. Soft Scrub (For Bath and Kitchen)

If it is mainly soap scum, this will work. Apply with a wet sponge--it does a good job without too much scrubbing. Lemon scent.

3. The easiest thing to do is

Keep a spray bottle of vinegar and water in the shower. About a 1 to 3 ratio. Take a shower, follow with the vinegar spray and you'll only have to "scrub" 1-2x monthly depending on how many use the unit.

Notice the word Professional, that's the key

5. I hate it so much that I quit showering.

I only take baths now, and that means scrubbing down all the walls, etc. doesn't have to happen often.

But before I gave up, I always just wiped the walls of the shower with my towel after every shower. And I used Pine Sol (or a cheaper pine cleaner). It cuts the grunge easily.

6. I keep a silicone squeegee in the shower

I use it to wipe down the walls and the shower curtain after every shower.

8. I read an interesting idea

I think it was on this forum somewhere, to do car wax on the shower walls. I am going to try it after we finish our bathroom remodeling. Shower is out of commission right now. Seems logical that it would work.

9. Thanks for all the great ideas.

I was hoping someone would say, "Hire a cleaning service." But I'm ready to have another go at it.

10. Easy Off in the YELLOW can

Never ever use the stuff in the Blue can.



Works on enamel and Fiberglass. For old hard to remove soap and stuff, spray it on and leave overnight. You can also use a brush made for bathroom cleaning or a Chore Girls on the heavy stuff.

I've used it for years without any problems. Works on chrome and some oother metals also. Wipe it off before it dries.
