How to Clean Glass Shower Doors?

My window cleaners said to use lemon joy in some water (on an extra fine steel wool pad- I've just used the scrubby part of a sponge) to scrub, rinse, then use a squeegee to get the water off. This is how they clean the windows and suggested I do the shower the same.

Try Downy or any fabric softner.

I use Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. It works great!

Hi! My great-aunt turned me on to keeping a squeegee in the shower so that after every shower I can get the water off the glass, and that helps greatly. To get them clean to start with, though, get a foaming bathroom cleanser and spray a thick even coat on, and let it sit there for a few minutes. Scrub it off with a sponge and you should have lovely clean doors. Windex the outside to get rid of any regular water streaks, and then squeegee every time, and you should be good to go.

I've also started a new thing (this morning, in fact) trying to keep ahead of 'soap grunge.' I bought a pretty shower-poof thing at Wal-Mart, and after my shower this morning, I poured some Clean Shower on it and scrubbed the doors and rinsed them and then squeegeed. And the shower poof just stays in there all the time with my squeegee.

(Are you familiar with FlyLady? This was based on her tip that, if you quickly clean just one wall of your shower or tub every morning, the thing never really gets dirty, and it takes you all of 20 seconds. flylady.net for more)

Hope this helps!

I would say if the doors are getting white film on them use a soap scum remover and scrub them down then use windex. Thats what I do with mine....try to squeedgy (sp?)the doors down after each shower to prevent them from getting foggy white.

I use Kaboom by OxyClean. It work great to get off the soap scum. Good luck!

I use scrubbing bubbles glass cleaner. I let that sit and then wipe it off with a cloth and then rinse with water. Works like a charm everytime!

Hi M.
I use a squigee, like you find at gas stations. i also occassionaly use a cleaner like scrub free w/ a sponge.
hope that helps!

Try mixing bleach with water in a spray bottle...

after using your cleaning product, wet newspaper and wipe with the paper. Newspaper and water will clean any kind of glass streakfree!

Hi M.,
I have used 2 things to clean my glass doors (that work).
First, I use Shout (or any brand) laundry stain remover. If you spray it on and then scrub it with a brush it gets it clean and helps the water bead up and drip down w/o a mess for a while.
Second, in between Shout cleanings, I use a Magic Eraser. I actually keep it in the shower and have gone to work while conditioning my hair! I have not done it, but I would guess if you rinsed it and dryed it after using the eraser, it would dry w/o streaks.
Good Luck!
I still can't figure why they can't make doors that stay clean w/o any work!!

Yes, I use newspapers (as papertowels) to clean my windows and they never leave streaks. They may leave your hands with ink on them but that can be easily washed off, right?
I know it sounded weird to me, too, when I first heard about it, but I tried it and it really does a streak-free job everytime! Good luck!

Hi M.,

Oh, the weekly battle of the Shower Doors!!! :)

I keep a Mr. Clean Eraser in the shower and every few days clean the glass while in the shower. It helps keep down the soap scum so when it comes time to "Windex" I think it's much easier to clean.

Also, there is a glass cleaner called Hope's Perfect Glass that you can get at Bed Bath & Beyond. It comes in a black spray bottle and runs about $5.00. After trying several brands, it's the best one I've found for cleaning the 2 narrow windows by my front door. The sun shines though those windows and I could always see streaks until I started using Perfect Glass!

Hope this helps!
