How To Keep Your Shower Glass Clean For WEEKS?!
Who else is tired of consistently cleaning your glass shower doors? Here's my secret weapon for a steak free glass for WEEKS!!!!
It's VERY simple and super effective plus it works for exterior sliding glass doors.
I find eraser sponges to be the quickest way to remove soap scum from glass.
After comparing a bunch of brands I've settled on the knock offs which I pick up from Amazon ($7 for 50) you can see them HERE.
- I add a few drops of soap and water and scrub.
- Rinse clean and dry.
- Microfiber clothes are my favorite for a lint free finish.
Spray your Turtle Wax or RainX - I've used both over the years.
- Make your efforts last longer by using a squeeze after you shower.
- You'll find the extra 30 seconds it takes you to squeeze your glass is well worth the effort.
Here's some research taken right off the Rain-X website:

The results will usually last several weeks, depending on the frequency and length of your showers.
As a side note, I use the same cleaning process (eraser sponges and squeegee minus the wax) for my tile walls.

I keep a Magic Eraser in my shower and when I finish my shower I wipe the shower walls before I get out,I haven’t had soap scum since I started doing this might sound kind of weird but it works for me.

I am a bathtub lover but also have a shower. I don't intend to "work" after I have taken my shower or bath. I want to get out, moisturize, pat myself dry and go on with my day. I know I'm going to have to come back on cleaning day and have more work, but just not into cleaning and working right after my shower. Bathing is a luxury so I want to keep it a pleasure.
Cleaning the jets in my jetted tub is a long process but it keeps it germ and mold free.

I get that! I don't mind using the squeegee it only takes 20 seconds. I would love a jetted tub. Enjoy it
Have a question about this project?
Another super great tip. Spray wax does work. Rain X doesn't last as long.
Clean your glass shower door
Just like nonstick cooking spray can remove tough grime buildup in your bathroom sink and tub, the same goes for cleaning your shower door, too. Simply spray a bit of oil directly on your dirty shower door to clear away the lime deposits and dirt real quick. Use a kitchen scrubby to clean off the crud. The fine coating left behind will repel water.
Clean soap scum off your shower
Who knew cooking spray could tackle soap scum buildup in your bathtub, shower, and sink? Since oil breaks down lime deposits, a quick spritz of cooking spray on your bathroom sink or shower tile will remove any gross grime in no time. Also leaves a coating that will repel water.
Shine your faucets
Nothing will make your bathroom fixtures glisten like a little bit of cooking spray. Spritz a tiny bit on your sink faucets and shower fixtures to rid them of buildup and allow them to really shine. Also leaving a fine coating that will repel water and future water spots.
Common sense is dont spray where you will be standing!!
I am just finishing three simultaneous bathroom remodels, two involve new glass and tile showers. I’ve been nervous about how we’re going to keep these looking new. I would never have thought of spraying turtle wax on glass!!!! Isn’t that a product for car finishes? So here’s my concern: my fear is the wax will smear on the glass and then I’ll need another hometalk.com post to figure out how to remove the wax! But you’re saying just spray on and squeegee off? That simple? Wow.
I actually use paste wax. It takes a little longer to buff it out, but it lasts for months. I do, however use a squeeze after I shower. I’m thinking that is what she meant, or when doing touch ups.
This is great but does anyone know what the toxicity is of these products?
No, but you are not going to be licking the shower doors (I hope) or even breathing it for very long, and the shower isn't an enclosed space, so I doubt it would be a problem.
