Having a shower and cleaning it at the same time

[tasmaniandevilchaser]

What do you use? I'm thinking that my normal anti-bac/Viakal won't be that skin friendly. I'm trying to find ways of doing more cleaning that doesn't take up lots of time, and I remember some people on MN talking about cleaning the shower whilst they're in there.

I do this (was fed up of getting bleach on my clothes, and much easier than leaning in and doing it clothed whilst trying not to get wet) and use Asda Eco Multisurface cleaner (I use it for everything).

DP does it using normal stuff (I buy Flash, he buys whatever is cheap in the pound shop) and claims never to have been burnt. I am waiting for the day I hear screams from the shower but OTOH he lived by himself for ten years before we moved in together so if it was going to happen it probably would have happened by now... maybe?

I have rinsed the shower (he left it for me) and it was okay - I didn't burn my feet, which is what I was worried about. Maybe use normal stuff but wear flip flops?

I just use the normal stuff. I clean when the water is still running so it all gets washed away (or I have very clean feet!)

In theory you could use shower gel - obv. not your vair naice stuff but summat cheap and cheerful. Should do just the same job as a proper cleaning spray. Or Stardrops is pretty gentle - you can wash your smalls in it according to the bottle.

The method bathroom cleaner is natural ingredients so not harmful to breath, have on your skin or wash down the drain into the rivers.

I love the smell and can clean the show whilst in it without worrying about my health

I use an e-cloth. If its particularly grim, I use Bath Power , which is chemical free. Haven't had any accidents yet!

I use an Enjo bathroom mitt whil I'm in and then spray with Method shower spray stuff afterwards. Comes up lovely and smells divine.

I have Cillit Banged my feet on many on occasion but I now use Method.

I do this! Ecover products are nice and gentle... I do tend to use Flash though... you don't get that much on you with the water running. You could wear crocs also if you are worried. :-) x

Method for me too, the shower one is great especially if other users can be trained to squirt it around after they shower and also the method lavender general purpose cleaner is fab too

I use jif and a washing up brush.

Washing up liquid on DHs sponge, then squeegee comes up sparkling

God, I can't think of anything more depressing than thinking that getting into a shower / bath means I should clean it as well!

Don't do it!

I don't do this all that often, but when I do I use Bath Power. I've never really worried about getting injured, what with all the running water.

I time it so somebody else is getting into the shower! I apply lots of flash, diluted bleach or whatever is at hand, and as they are heading into the bathroom I declare the shower is being cleaned and would they be a dear and rinse off for me when they've finished their shower!

I do this. I use cillit bang I'm not worried as there is always running water (i leave it on for a few moments to work and then get in with running water to rinse off while i scrub. Ive never had a bad reaction.

I use jiff and a sponge and squeejee it all off with lots of water. Then I wash me as usual. Works fine.

I use ecloths after I shower, quick wipe and a quick polish. I'd hardly call it cleaning but the shower is sparkling. A quick swipe every day and that is pretty much all you ever need to do.

I use Cif and a washing up sponge, then rinse the tiles off with the shower.

Thanks everyone! What's an ecloth?

E-Cloths are brilliant!

Just started using them myself and now use them everywhere

See here for info.

Microfibre cloths are similar, but e-cloths are superior IMO.

save up for a water softener. Soap dissolves better with no scum, and there are no limescale watermarks.
