Hi my husband is the only one who uses the shower stall in our house so he is the one who cleans it. He uses a car chamois and wipes down the whole shower stall with it when he is finished. He does this everytime he uses it. He keeps the chamois on the towel rack LOL.
I just read on another forum to use Easy Off oven cleaner on your shower door just don't get any on the metal. After it is clean rub with Lemon Oil and it will stay clean a long time. Only keep the oven cleaner on for 10 minutes.
We actually have a bathroom cleaning product here that is awesome on scum...I think it's called sani gel - it is REALLY harsh and I will only use it every couple of months or so since we are on septic. I also hear that those self cleaners for the shower (I don't know what they are called, but they clean the shower when you get out) are supposed to work well for keeping the shower clean
Hi,
I've been wanting to tell everyone aboout a household hint I've been doing for some time now. Instead of using harsh sprays cleaning the shower tiles I use fabric softner sheets. Just wet shower and rub sheets over tiles. Even takes off mold in cracks. Smells good too. I have a walk in shower and I do walls floor and doors and use about twelve sheets.

Hi All: Havent been for a while, but couldn't resist posting in reply to this. We USED ti have shower doors that needed constant cleaning, with 4 of us, going in/out, to different jobs, Girl guides, social life(or so I'm told) . My solution-Get rid of them and buy shower curtainsw. Am actually using a special soap scum spray now, so that may have helped way back when-but I just got rid of the doors.:)
Looks like this is an old thread, but I'm going to reply anyway!!! I keep a Magic Eraser Sponge in my shower. I use it to swipe a section of the shower stall each morning before I crawl out of the shower. It took awhile to get my shower "whipped into shape," but I just took it slowly one piece at a time. My shower at the old house had gotten so bad that it took several intense elbow grease sessions with the Eraser to get each section clean. After I finally got it clean, I used old fashioned paste car wax on the fiberglass insert so soap doesn't stick. Now I don't have to fight soap scum anymore, it doesn't have time to build up since I am swiping it away so often and the water just slides over the waxed surface. We've actually moved away from the shower that had doors on it and I have a shower curtain now -- but this proceedure worked on my old shower with the doors and has kept the shower stall at my new house sparkling without intense scrub-a-thons!!
