Shower Door Soap Scum

Angela K. Gammon • April 2, 2023

At A Step Above N Beyond Cleaning Service, one of the most common cleaning tasks we encounter is removing soap scum from shower doors. Soap scum is a stubborn residue that can make shower doors look dull and uninviting. But fear not, because we've got some tips and tricks that will help you get rid of soap scum and keep your shower doors looking their best.

  1. Use a natural cleaning solution

Natural cleaning solutions are effective and eco-friendly. One such solution is a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Simply mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and add a tablespoon of baking soda. Spray the mixture on the shower doors and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, scrub the doors with a soft-bristled brush or sponge and rinse with water. This solution is safe for most surfaces and can be used on a regular basis.

  1. Try a commercial cleaner

There are a lot of commercial cleaners available that are specifically designed for removing soap scum from shower doors. Choose a cleaner that contains citric acid, which is effective in breaking down soap scum. Follow the instructions on the label and wear gloves when handling the cleaner. Make sure to rinse the doors thoroughly after using the cleaner.

  1. Use a squeegee

Prevention is better than cure. Use a squeegee to remove water droplets from the shower doors after every use. This will prevent soap scum buildup and keep your shower doors looking clean and shiny.

  1. Use a steam cleaner

A steam cleaner is a powerful tool that can quickly and easily remove soap scum from shower doors. The high temperature of the steam breaks down soap scum and other bathroom grime, making it easy to wipe away with a cloth or sponge. Make sure to follow the instructions on the steam cleaner carefully and use caution when working with hot steam.

  1. Consider a professional cleaning service

If you don't have the time or inclination to clean your shower doors yourself, consider hiring a professional cleaning service like A Step Above N Beyond. A reputable cleaning company has the experience, tools, and expertise to get rid of soap scum and keep your shower doors looking their best. Plus, you'll have more time to focus on other important things in your life.

In conclusion, soap scum on shower doors can be stubborn and unsightly, but with the right cleaning solutions and techniques, you can keep your shower doors looking clean and inviting. Use a natural cleaning solution, a commercial cleaner, a squeegee, a steam cleaner, or consider hiring a professional cleaning service. Whatever method you choose, make sure to clean your shower doors regularly to prevent soap scum buildup.

This meticulous approach not only enhances the cleanliness of your home but also improves the overall hygiene and efficiency of your plumbing.
