Shower Screen Spray

I use a squeegee after each shower (from ikea, 99p I think) and once a month give it a scrub with Lidl bathroom cleaner and then wipe down with vinegar and water and shine off with a microfibre cloth. The spray-on cleaners can aggravate asthma, I find."All cruelty springs from weakness" - Lucius Annaeus SenecaPersonal pronouns are they/them/their, please.

Is there a solution to get rid of really bad water marks? Clear doors are almost opaque
Squeegy the doors after shower please does not seem to register to my son, needless to say his shower is so bad now (I refuse to clean it) that I hate to see it :mad: I have tried stardrops and elbow grease (gently) to no avail! I have not tried the limescale cleaner, can it be used safely on 'plasticy' things?
Any advice would be gratefully received, I really do not want to buy new doors (yes they are that bad)

Ooooh I too would love some advice on this, I've tried cillit bang for limescale which did nothing other than make me cough, flash, mr muscle the lot and I just can't get rid of it.
We are in a hard water area which I guess makes matters worse but there must be a way to get rid of it somehow.0 -
I use white vinegar on my glass shower screen. Gets off all the limescale/water marks. I have it in a little spray bottle in the bathroom and just spray it on, wipe it over the screen, leave for a bit then wipe off and dry it. I keep meaning to get a squeegey but never got round to it!0

When ours got bad (hard water area) I found the limescale remover worked well it did need doing more than once.
When I finally got it clean I trained OH to use a microfibre cloth each time to dry off the screen, now I clean it with a normal bathroom cleaner once a week and it still looks good, our screen sections are too narrow for a squeegy.0 -
I get this problem too and I assume it's so bad as I'm in a hard water area.
I think I'll get some limescale remover or something on the way back from work and some white vinegar next time I'm food shopping and hopefully this might work (I too have tried Windowlene and all types of different sprays with no real result!):www: Saving for a deposit - Target £30k by 24/03/14 (30th Birthday!) :www:

I use a combination of vinegar and a squeegy. Spray the screen bothsides with vinegar and clean as you would a window, then buff uo witha microfibre cloth. Every time we have a shower, last in uses the squeegy on the tiles and the screen. I spray the tiles once a month with a mixture of stardrops and water and a microfibre cloth over the top of my vileda floor mop, scrubb up and down and then change the cloth for a duster and polish up.......Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.0

Vinegar cleans mirrors and windows brilliantly so I imagine work well on shower doors.
You can buy cleaning vinegar from Home Bargains - it says specifically on the bottle, not for consumption. It comes in a spray bottle, quite handy. I don't think its any more expensive than eating vinegar.I'm playing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order!0 -
I've found the best thing is a metal scourer used gently with any bathroom spray cleaner. If you don't scrub hard it doesn't scratch glass and works a treat!0

I have been informed the doors are glass not plastic:o
I have been using a spongtex scourer and I am getting results :j
O/H suggested metholated spirits might work but I have not tried it!
Happy scrubbing
