Keeping shower walls clean can be one of the hardest jobs in the bathroom, as it can look cloudy if you don’t use the right cleaners.
Shower walls often look dirty, even after being freshly cleaned, due to limescale build-up, which can be difficult to remove without streaking.
Most commercial cleaners can also leave behind a residue, especially if not rinsed off properly, which can quickly attract dirt and dust
Luckily, Jayden Copeland, cleaning expert and founder of Backroad Bloom, has a simple homemade cleaner that keeps shower glasses clean without leaving residue or streaks.
Jayden said, “The best homemade shower cleaner is a mixture of distilled white vinegar and plain old dishwashing liquid. It’s so simple and easy, but SO effective! You’ll never need to buy store-bought shower cleaner again.”
Why is this homemade cleaner so effective?
White vinegar is often considered the best natural product for cleaning glass because it contains acetic acid, which can break down limescale and other dirt without leaving streaks.
This simple kitchen ingredient evaporates very quickly when mixed with water, so you’ll have sparkling clean glass in no time.
Dishwashing liquid is naturally used to dissolve fat and grease stains, which are often found in soap scum, soap, hair products, and white residue left by shower gels.
How to make a homemade solution for cleaning shower glass
You will need:
- White vinegar
- Washing liquid
- Empty spray bottle
- Mushroom
- Two fabrics
Instructions
All you need to do is mix equal parts white vinegar and dish soap in an empty spray bottle, then screw on the cap and shake well to combine the ingredients.
Next, spray down the shower glass and then let it sit for about five minutes.
When the time is up, rub the glass with a sponge, and the dirt should come off easily.
After cleaning the glass, rinse it with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry polishing cloth.
Jayden said: “This DIY shower cleaning spray can be used weekly (or more often if that’s your thing) to give your shower walls and glass a shine.
