Watermarks on shower doors

frosty

Hi everyone, I have started to rent out a section of our house on Airbnb,we have a lot of bookings.I want to try and build up some good reviews.After reading what they write on other peoples reviews they seem to mention the slightest little thing .I have tried lots of products to move the water marks on the shower doors but they just dry back.
I have used,
Lemon juice
White vinegar
Cif cream cleanser
Vodka
Alcohol hand gel
Various shop bought ones, micro fibre clothes but nothing works,does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks.

Tesco limescale remover worked fab on my shower doors. Am in a hard water area too

Have you tried soaking them? Something like vinegar or citric acid (dissolved in water) might do it. You can use paper towels or tea-towels, wet them with the solution and then smoosh them on so they stick and leave it for a while.

Or have you tried Barkeeper's Friend? That stuff seems to clean everything!

I too am watching wih interest.

I've lived in a hard water area for many years - thankfully no more! - and found that the best way of keeping my tiles and glassware bright was by wiping down straight after using wet areas. (After 17 years it still looked like new). Not much help atm, but when you do manage to restore your bathroom to its previous gleaming state perhaps it would be worth mentioning to your guests?

Or the other alternative: would rent-a-room, with one well-chosen and conscientious tenant work any better for you?

Dampen a little bicarbonate and use it to get the deeper stuff off then white vinegar
Get a shower squeegee to encourage them to clean after

Isopropyl alcohol might be the thing though I haven't tried it on my shower screen. It is also known as sticky stuff remover. I buy it online in a 500ml container.

I've just got a bottle of Kilroc shower scale remover from poundstretchers , used it in conjunction with a non stick scourer and seems to have made a big difference on first application.

I've also had a polyphosphate water scale remover fitted to replace a failed salt water softener . Polyphosphate was cheaper , lower maintenance and cheaper to run long term

Try waterless car wash and wax.
I got the tip from a friend whose shower is gleaming and spotless and it seems to work for me too. I also wipe down the shower with a car sponge every time, only takes a minute.

We looked into finding a tenant but can make more on Airbnb.with a tenant we could probably get 4/500 a month,we have a lady from Italy coming for 26 nights and its £1,126.00 .
