Cleaning a shower cubicle without getting soaked

LooL00 · 23/07/2010 13:14

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.

StealthPolarBear · 23/07/2010 13:18

yes, wash it while im in it

chegggersplayspop · 23/07/2010 13:21

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!

2kids2dogsandahorse · 24/07/2010 13:54

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.

Danthe4th · 24/07/2010 18:38

Hand Dh cleaner and cloth while he is in it, and rinse away pubes, yuk!!

LooL00 · 26/07/2010 16:51

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.

Chatelaine · 26/07/2010 17:25

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.

Mooos · 27/07/2010 02:56

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.

tefal · 27/07/2010 03:39

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!

Seona1973 · 27/07/2010 08:25

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.

MsPZ · 28/07/2010 15:33

I do the same naked cleaning whilst showering too!! LOL!

I also keep an old toothbrush to clean around tiny nooks and crannies

2kids2dogsandahorse · 30/07/2010 20:56

I clean those with my scrub mitts MsPZ lol

Nip7 · 22/09/2021 10:21

I get soaked when cleaning bath shower out

PeeAche · 22/09/2021 12:05

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.

MummyJ12 · 22/09/2021 12:25

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

Edwintheboyscout · 22/09/2021 20:54

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 !

Howshouldibehave · 22/09/2021 20:59

Naked showerer here too. I spray ten minutes before I get in though!

clara443 · 23/09/2021 09:53

naked here too..I also spray half an hour before I get in, then I get in scrub lightly before turning the water on, shower then another quick scrub.

peachescariad · 23/09/2021 10:00

Yep naked shower cleaner here too....take everything in with me.

Bananna73 · 19/06/2022 15:26

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

A580Hojas · 19/06/2022 15:30

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

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.
