scummy shower doors - what should i clean with?

[ja9]

just bathroom cleaner or is there some mad miracle concoction you all know about?

((waiting with baited breath and rubber gloved hands ready...))

I use that Bath Power stuff - my shower doors were vile and scummy and shameful and I sprayed it and left it for 10 mins or so and they came up really clean.

It's this - I get the spray one from Sainsburys. Smells nice too, it's orangey.

I got some magic stuff from Lakeland called Scrub Free. It really is amazing. You just spray it on and rinse it off and the results are fantastic.

thank you both. will have a go with the stuff you suggest...

if it is limescale then Viakal is amazing - probably dire for the environment though.

ecover limescale remover is very good.

lime lite is also good - wipe it on, mumsnet for 10 minutes and shower rinse off.

To prevent limescale building up in the first place, I use a squeegee on my shower door after every shower - it takes about 10 seconds. The shower door is still like new and i don't have to use any products on it at all...
...so get a squeegee and start using it after your final ever application of viakal

METHOD shower spray is AMAZING.
Have it in the cubicle with you, and before you get out, spray the screens, head, dial etc. It never needs scrubbing!

If its really scummy to begin with, you may need to clean, but after that, no need. We live in a really hard water area and I never clean my shower anymore.

I also do the squeegy thing, but still need some sort of product every month or so, much less than before I used the squeegy though. Very hard water here.

Yes, those microfibre cloths, used dry are amazing.

I made the mistake of washing mine with fabric softener and now alll its magic powers have gone.

I was cleaning the bathroom yesterday & picked up a makeup remover wipe DD had left around & then & accidentally started cleaning the shower door with it instead of the cloth - it took the scum straight off.
Now I'm not sure if I should be pleased at finding an effective cleaner, or worried at what it's doing to DD's face....

Have you tried boiling it, Maidamess? Seemed to revitalise mine.

OOh, I'll try that. Does Delia have a recipe?

Suspect you may have to buy preboiled water...

lol

just bog standard car windscreen wash dencanted into a spray bottle cleans bathroon shower screen really really well in seconds!!!!

I was cynical at first about all this vinegar-and-lemon-juice stuff, but it really works, cheap and eco friendly.

White vinegar/water 50-50 spray (in an old spray pump bottle). It demolishes limescale. Wipe around with a rag then polish off with scrunched newspaper or a dry microfibre cloth.
