It's hard to feel clean when you're in a dirty shower.Cleaning your shower is a simple process, even though it may seem like it's ruined forever.A few common household products are all you need to restore the shine to your shower.
Step 1: Take out your shower.
There are bottles, soap, razors, and accessories in the shower.It's a good idea to wipe down the items to make sure they don't get transferred back into the shower.There is Mildew on the bottom of the bottles.Don't keep any empty or worn-out items.If you have a shower curtain, it is a good idea to take it down and clean it.
Step 2: Remove any loose dirt and debris.
A pre-rinse will make sure that you don't accidentally grind dirt or debris into the tub.It allows the cleaning product to work on the stuck-on gunk.
Step 3: Take care of the room.
The bathroom door should be opened to prevent the fumes from building up.Then turn on the fan.If you have a window in the bathroom, open it as well.While you will be using a natural cleaning solution, it is still strong and will release fumes that you want to air out.
Step 4: The liquid dish detergent should be put into a spray bottle.
The oils and grease that make up your soap scum will be cut through by the dish detergent.It is possible to cut through grease with dish detergent.The cleaning solution will be harder to wash away if you use too much detergent.
Step 5: Take a cup of white vinegar and measure it out.
White vinegar is great for removing soap scum and lime deposits.The smell is off-putting, but it is gone once the vinegar dries.Adding a few drops of pure essential oil, such as lemon or orange, will make the smell of the vinegar go away.
Step 6: In the microwave, cook your vinegar.
The timer should be set for 1 minute.If you want to create a better cleaning solution, you should use warm vinegar.You don't have to boil it.Depending on the strength of your microwave, you may want to warm your vinegar in 30 second intervals to make sure that it reaches a slightly warm temperature rather than getting too hot or not getting warm enough.
Step 7: Use the spray bottle to mix the vinegar.
Use a swirling motion to blend the two ingredients.Continue until they are completely blended.Don't shake the bottle because it will cause sudsing.Your detergent should be tinted lightly to make it appear foamy.If you maintain a 3 to 1 ratio of white vinegar to detergent, you can increase or decrease the amount of cleaner that you prepare.There are several commercial options that are safe for fiberglass.Make sure the product does not contain bleach or abrasive cleaning agents.
Step 8: You can apply the cleaning solution to your shower.
You can spray the shower and tub surfaces.Allow it to set for a few minutes so that the ingredients have time to get to the dried soap scum and mineral deposits.If your shower doesn't have soap scum, it's not necessary to let the product set in.
Step 9: To work in the product, use a sponge, cloth, or soft bristle brush.
Paying special attention to areas with thicker grime is what you should do to scrub your shower surfaces.Apply more cleaning solution as you clean.If your cleaner dries before you get to that section, you can apply additional cleaner.Don't use hard-bristle brushes, scoured pads, or metal pads because they will scratch your fiberglass.
Step 10: It is a good idea to rinse with cold water.
To remove the cleaning solution from the surfaces, use a cup to splash cold water.It will take more than one rinse to remove all of the product.You can use a handheld shower head instead of a cup.
Step 11: Make a paste from baking soda.
Baking soda can be poured into a bowl.When you have a paste, add a few drops of water at a time.It should be spreadable but sticky enough to stick to shower surfaces.Baking soda can be sprayed on the area with a spray bottle.After 15-20 minutes, scrub the fiberglass with a cloth or sponge.
Step 12: The paste should be applied to the soap scum.
You can smoothe on a generous amount of the paste to any remaining soap scum, which includes tub rings or rings around the drain in your shower pan.You should be icing a cake.You should spread your paste in a thin layer.
Step 13: For 30 minutes, allow the paste to sit.
Baking soda needs time to break down soap scum.Don't use water or other cleaners in the shower.
Step 14: To clean the shower, use a sponge, cloth, or soft-bristle brush.
To re-moisten the baking soda, add a little water to the paste.As you work in the paste, make tight, circular movements with your scrubber.
Step 15: Remove any remaining paste.
Water should be splashed onto the paste.Remove the baking soda with a clean cloth.To get rid of the baking soda, rinse the cloth frequently.When all of the baking soda is gone, rinse with cold water.You can use a handheld shower head instead of a cup.
