How on earth are you meant to clean a shower with a fixed head rather than a hose. If you use any cleaning product, you can't rinse the tiles properly without chucking a jug of water at them and then you get soaked with the splash back. Shower head itself is covered in limescale which again can't put any product on and rinse off.
Use a squeegee every day, but the stupid doors overlap by about an inch when fully extended so there is an opaque stripe of limescale/water marks.

It's grim - I am never having a fixed-head shower again (this one was here when we moved in). I have no good ideas, I just get wet chucking water over it.

Actually, I am now moving onto using child labour - DD1 (8yo) quite likes doing it Grin

Re shower head - put some white vinegar in a bag and tie it over the shower head. leave to soak then remove and clean the shower head. Should help with the limescale.

You should be able to unscrew a fixed head to clean it. - They are screwed on when fitted after all - depending on how it has been put in that is.

As to cleaning the doors, can you stand inside the shower and open one door and pull the other as far as it will go to expose your "stripe" and clean it with limescale remover?

Poledra, ours was here when we moved in too. I hate it!Angry but can't afford to replace it.
Alison222, I shall investigate removing the fixed head - I may be gone sometime.
