Thanks for all your replies. We live in a very hard water area as well so I will tey lots of your ideas
Where do you get stardrops from. We don't have any home bargain shops or £ shops near us.
Thanks

Just use vinegar in an old spray bottle.
It'll work fine.

We've just have a new bathroom fitted, and I am a little pedantic about my new shiny shower screen. Not an MSE solution, but I've enforced the use of our K'archer window vac thingy after every use of the shower.

I'm also insisting hubby and daugher wipe the chrome shower bar/taps with a microfibre cloth after each shower!

I agree with the vinegar and water idea. I used to wash with a mixture of water and vineger and rinse off and dry with a crumpled up newspaper leaves the glass really shiny. I got a steamer recently for all over cleaning in the house and it cleans my glass and tiles excellent. I steam the glass then squeegy and give a last buff with a micro fibre mitt that I have. I keep saying to my lot to squeegy after shower but it is like shoveling snow when its still snowing in my house.

We do have a steam cleaner, it is one of those large polti ones but I was a bit worried about using the steam gun as it is very powerful. We did have a window cleaner attachment but that is in a packing box somewhere....

We also live in a hard water area......for our shower cubicle I use Method's shower spray after I use it (or DH, or if I'm in the bathroom when one of the kids is finished) it smells lovely, ylang ylang I think, which helps keep the grub at bay. To clean it, I really like Ecover's limescale remover spray which is brilliant! I spray the two glass sides and clean them down with a the scrubber side of a bathroom sponge. The outside glass I clean with a vinegar/water spray. As the grout gets grotty, use either bleach if I have some, or bicarb in vinegar to make a paste and scrub with a toothbrush. Hope that helps, hard water is such a pain (and the reason I have a ceramic kitchen sink instead of a stainless steel one!!!) x

I use the steam cleaner, but the squeegee attachment isn't very good, so I just use a microfibre cloth to polish afterwards. I don't use the steamer on the shower tray though, I'm scared it might make the plastic brittle.

Rainex or halfords equivalent might turn the glass into easy clean run off glass.

Not tried it yet myself but often thought it a good idea to try ?

We have used Clean Shower from Lakeland for many years - works really well in our hard water area. Just needs spraying on after the shower has been used. and left.
On odd occasions we have used cheaper supermarket own-brand shower sprays, but they are no where near as good and we revert back to the Clean Shower. No idea how "green" it is........

Can anyone recommend a good product or method for cleaning a glass shower enclosure?


Mine always looks dotted with water droplets and what I think is limescale or soap residue.
