What is the best way to keep my glass shower doors clean?

Question

My husband just remodeled our bathroom and we have the most gorgeous glass shower now.  We have been using a squigee every time we shower to try and keep it spot free but we are losing the battle.  I wanted to ask for help here since I am sure someone has a great tip to help me!  If you have any suggestions as to how I can keep the glass clean longer, please let me know.  I have added photos for reference. Thanks​ everyone!

The Redesign Habit · Answer

The first tip of course is to clean the glass regularly. After it's clean, rub a little lemon oil on glass. It will help the water bead and roll right off and helps prevent scum from building up.

I use white vinegar and water with paper tpwel.

Sam Mcgee · Answer

put a squeegy in there and wipe it down after every shower. Only takes a couple minutes but it really helps.

Sandy cox · Answer

Clean with vinegar and water wipe with paper towel. I then use a wax I use on my vehicle.let it almost dry, then wipe off like you would with your vehicle. Water beads off.

Mary Wilson · Answer

I wipe mine down with the towel used to dry with, it stays pretty clean, even my husband does it.

We have a bathroom downstairs with a large glass door. We have 1 1/2 baths upstairs so I don't allow anyone to shower down stairs. There is a sink and toilet they can use, however. Ok, my solution isn't the greatest but I just wanted to take the time to tell people how much work that kind of a shower door is. They look pretty in the showroom but are a pain to keep clean!

Car Wax

Sarah A. Victory · Answer

My husband and I always rinsed the shower and used a squeegee to remove the rest of the water. Wiping down w/your bath towel after a shower like another person mentioned also works well and I have done that, also. As long as that is done on a regular basis your glass shower stays beautiful. It is a great help to train one's children to do this also. Easier said than done--I know! :)

Patricia Cushing · Answer

a silicone based car wax. Put on let it haze over and buff off. I do it a few times a year. Then dry it off with you towel after you are done drying you.

CK · Answer

Well I found a very 'accidental' way to help reduce spots on glass shower doors.

I accidentally splashed some hair conditioner on my door. When I wiped off the water after the shower I noticed that all the spots were gone in that area! So later I cleaned the entire glass door, then put a small 'coating' of hair condioner on it, rinsed and wiped dry.

Surprisingly the glass stayed spot free for many showers! BTW it wasn't any high end conditioner.

You could try this and if it works, great! If not, you just wash it off till the glass till it's 'clean' again.

Me Clean magic erasers are the easiest way to clean soap scum in a shower.

Hope Williams · Answer

Just squeegee dry after every shower.  It will work wonders.
Secondly, stay away from bar soap!  It contains the waxy substance that makes them scummy!  Easy peasy!

Patty · Answer

Clean the glass first and then use Turtle Wax for autos.  Let easy get a haze and I use a drill with a buffing attachment and buff the glass,,dry your glass after shower with paper towels and do this every three months,,works great.  By the way, I learned this from some campers, we had a Motor Coach and it really worked well,,been doing this for 16 years.  Good Luck!!!

Tanya · Answer

Gale is right on the money. I keep a spray bottle of white vinea Ned dawn, the original blue. 50/50. I use a scratch pad for this. Takes it right off.

Ann · Answer

Rain X was the best, follow directions. You will need to redo the glass every couple of months.

Jewellmartin · Answer

When we moved into our house with a similar shower, which we love, my frien Jenny told me to buy a hard plastic squeegy thing from the auto parts store, and use it after every shower. Ten years later, the glass still looks perfect. Once a year, I use foaming bubbles on the glass, just because i feel I should.  Now the soap scum on the tile and floor, I do what your others readers do.

Cindy Wheeler · Answer

The best way to keep the glass spotless is to squeegy the glass then towel dry.  They glass, walls and shower pan will stay clean and new looking forever. Mine are 15 years old and spotless. It takes some time to get into the habit but worth it.

Linda · Answer

I have used a thin coat of lemon oil after weekly cleaning. It's natural and it smells good. Just remember a thin coat.

Sue · Answer

I keep an extra hand towel draped over the glass and use it to wipe off the glass after every shower. 10 years later and I've yet to have to scrub my glass.

C · Answer

I just read a solution for this yesterday on pinterest, so your timing is perfect - hope I can post the link here. You only need to do this twice per year using 'Clean-X Invisible Glass Shield protector 2000' product, along with using a squeegy like you've been doing. http://www.annsentitledlife.com/library-reading/twice-a-year-cleaning-secret-for-sparkling-shower-doors/ Also a microfiber cloth work great too.

Robin · Answer

I had well-water which would normally leave a rust color stain (along with soap scum) I spray rain X on it and never once did it build up with soap scum or rust color. et it dry over night.

Snapoutofit · Answer

I have heard to use body wash instead of bar soap; it won't scum up the doors.

Annie · Answer

Hi, I use a magic sponge that can be purchased from any supermarket cleaning aisle. They also gets rid of scuff marks on floor tiles and walls.

Sheri Gomez · Answer

AAHH!! I don't seem to have any luck with the vinegar and water but I don't know the 'ratio' to use either...I'm not sure if it was 50/50 and I can't seem to find it in these posts, I thought it was in here..I didn't want to use too much vinegar so I just put 1/4cup of it in a spray bottle and it isn't removing the spots so I still need help. If anyone knows how much vinegar to use or any other way to remove the spots??? Thanks!
