Cleaning a shower cubicle without getting soaked

Never had a shower cubicle before and i'm not sure how to rinse it once I've had a good scrub at the tiles. Any tips please?

I clean our shower when I'm in it. Then you don't have to worry about getting anything on your clothes or getting wet.

Warning - do not get Cilit Bang anywhere near your nethers.

I use one of those squeegee things and wipe it down before I get out. Also use it for full on cleaning as well, but it stops the tile grout getting mouldy and keeps the glass shiny.

I either do it while I'm in there, or else do it in shorts and flipflops!

Get in shower
Get wet
Wash hair
Rinse hair
Put on conditioner
Spray shower cleaner on tiles and screen etc
Do all those little extras like shaving legs/underarms/exfoliating etc
Scrub tiles, screen, etc
Rinse hair whilst chucking water around and rinsing off tiles, screen etc
Spray with Shower Shine

I'd suggest leaving the cleaner, cloth and Shower Shine in for the next user showerer but tbh I've not had any success there

Do it after you have had a shower, whilst still naked.

Oh wow I didn't realise there were so many naked shower cleaners out there. They never show THAT in the adverts for the cleaning products.

i have never gotten into teh cleaning while i am in it, don't know why. but i take my socks off and roll my trousers up and just rinse the walls with the shower head after vcleaning it. i only ever get lightly sprayed and i clean my feet before i get out and then rinse the shower tray.

Do you have a fixed shower head, cos they are a pain as you cannot direct the spray all round the cubicle, but you can adapt them to a hose, DH has just done this for my mother.

Chatelaine I could never understand the attraction of fixed shower heads (ok maybe they look a bit neater) but they are useless at cleaning the shower.

If it is a detachable shower head then just swish around once clean. If fixed I have used a cheap watering can in the past. I hate fixed shower heads!

I also take my socks off and roll up my trousers but I also take my top off as if I dont I end up bleaching bits of it and having to throw it away.

1 more for the naked cleaning! I do it while my conditioner is setting in.

I do have a massive arse so often when I’m contorting myself to reach corners, I burn self on the hot pipe bit (power shower running from mains) - think cow being branded on the rump!

So, I keep one of those long handle pan scrubbing brushes handy. Mine is actually a Lionel Ritchie themed one; picked it up in the queue in Matalan. Don’t have to bend so far with my Lionel around.

Another naked shower cleaner here! It’s the best way. I always spray before I step in though!!

I stand inside and scrub the shower. There is a gap between the top of the shower door and the ceiling so I stand on a chair and use the shower head to rinse the shower from above, with the door closed. Hopefully that makes sense !

Naked shower cleaning? How do you avoid getting the chemical cleaning product on your feet and skin?

Report
A580Hojas · 19/06/2022 15:30

How many of your male partners do naked shower cleaning I wonder?

Report
stressedsloth · 19/06/2022 15:43

I'm so confused. So you all don't mind chemical cleaner getting on you? I imagine your feet would be standing in it awhile?

I never allow bathroom cleaner near my skin.
