Cleaning your glass shower door is probably one of your least favourite household chores. However, if you don’t stay on top of it, hard-water stains, mildew, and soap scum can accumulate pretty quickly. Thankfully, there are some easy tips and tricks on how to clean your glass shower door.

How frequently should a glass shower door be cleaned?

It is best to clean your glass shower door thoroughly as often as possible. If you can aim to simply squeegee it daily, this will make sure grime doesn’t build up between deep cleaning sessions. When deep cleaning your shower doors, it is best to use vinegar every week or whenever you choose to do it.

What you’ll need:

  • Distilled white vinegar
  • Water
  • Dishwashing liquid
  • Spray bottle
  • Sponge
  • Microfibre cloth

Steps to follow:

  1. Combine ingredients: Add equal parts distilled white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
  2. Add dishwashing liquid: Pour 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid into the spray bottle.
  3. Let it sit, then spritz the solution onto the shower door and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Wipe clean: After 15 minutes, use a microfibre cloth to wipe clean. For heavy build-up, scrub with a delicate scrubber or eraser-type sponge.
  5. Dry: Rinse and buff dry.
