One of the most common questions at Serenity Cleaning is how do you get the shower screen so clean and shiny? So let’s let you into our secret.
A sparkling shower screen can instantly make your bathroom feel cleaner and more inviting. But limescale and soap scum can quickly turn your glass screen into a cloudy mess. Don’t worry – with the right approach, you can restore its shine and keep it pristine. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to banishing those pesky build-ups.
Step 1: Mix Your Cleaning Solution
- The secret to tackling soap scum and limescale lies in a powerful homemade cleaner. Combine white vinegar with a teaspoon of baking soda to create a paste in a bowl.
Step 2: Apply and Let It Work
- Using a sponge rub the paste all over the screen, focusing on areas with heavy buildup. Let the solution sit for 10–15 minutes to break down the grime – but don’t let it dry completely.
Step 3: Gentle Scrubbing
- Grab a soft sponge or microfiber cloth and wipe the screen using circular motions. For tougher areas, use a non-scratch scrubbing pad. Be patient and gentle to avoid scratching the glass. Slow and steady wins this race!
Step 4: Rinse Away the Residue
- Once the screen is clean, rinse it thoroughly with warm water to remove all traces of the cleaning solution.
Step 5: Dry and Shine
- Use a squeegee to remove excess water, preventing streaks and watermarks. Then, polish the screen with a clean towel or dry microfiber cloth for a flawless finish.
Pro Tips to Keep Your Shower Screen Sparkling
- Daily Maintenance: Use a squeegee or dry microfiber cloth after each shower to remove water droplets and prevent buildup.
- Repellent Coatings: Apply a shower screen water-repellent product to make cleaning easier in the future.
- Weekly Cleaning: Stay ahead of the grime with a quick clean once a week.
