    Hello. I use a toothbrush, grout brushes can be too stiff and a bathroom cleaner like scrubbing bubbles or tilex.

    The trim pieces? I wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth.

    The easiest way I found was with a Hurrican Turbo Scrubber. You can get them or a store brand equivalent in Walmart or even some home improvement stores. It is great for many jobs: the stove, the oven, the tires, the outside window frames, the grout on the tubs and floor, many uses and you choose the cleaning product (like baking soda, vinegar, etc)

  • I use my steam cleaner. It gets in the small spaces and I don't need to scrub.

  • Hi, Carole!

    Spray white vinegar on it and wipe with a paper towel... that should work! I hope this helps!

    This is an all around bathroom cleaner. Just do not use on granite or real marble.


    Heat up 1 cup of white vinegar, mix in about 1/4 cup of Dawn Premium. Not the dollar store kind, because it is too thin. When mixed, pour into a spray bottle and fill with water. Shake. Spray down the grout and let it sit overnight. In the morning rinse. If you have stubborn stains, spray again. Use this mixture a few times a week. It will keep your grout and tiles clean. Also works wonders in the toilet bowl to keep hard water stains at bay. Oh you only have to heat the vinegar one time when you add the Dawn.

    Hi Carole. I use a product called CLR. The trick to using this product is to spray it on and walk away. Wait 15 or 20 mins and then come back with an old toothbrush. You won't have to scrub hard. It comes right off. You can also use CLR on shower doors.

    I use vinegar and dawn solution! Spray it on and let it soak for about 10-15 minutes and then wipe off.

    If you are talking about the metal trim pieces, use something soft to clean them up like scratch free brillo. Do not use a magic eraser as it will scratch the edging. Then take a spray bottle and fill it 1/2 way with rubbing alcohol a few drops of dawn and water, Spray it down and rinse then wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. This is what I do and my shower door looks great

    If wiped each time the shower is used, and the shower left dry by moping up with the wet towel before washing it, then there should not be a problem.
