Glass shower cubicle

Just had a bathroom refit and had a shower cubicle fitted.
What is the best way/what to use to keep it clean and as smear free as possible?

    The simplest way is just to keep a cheap 'n' cheerful squeegee (purchased from a pound shop or similar) hanging nearby, and give the glass a quick wipe down after you've finished using the shower. Most marks tend to come from water droplets sitting there and drying out, especially if you've got hard water.

    When it does get grubby, there are any number of tips 'n' tricks that people use. Ordinary Flash liquid (or personally I use Lidl/Aldi own-brand versions) is good for general cleaning. If you have hard water then any of the many limescale remover sprays will do the trick - as will ordinary vinegar (again, the cheapest you can find in Lidl). Or you can just use ordinary window cleaner.

    But like I say, a quick squeegee down after each use will mean you don't have to clean it very often in the first place.

    I second use of a squeegee, regular use does make a big difference. A plumber once recommended to me that a quick wipe of tiles and glass in the cubicle with a towel before leaving the bathroom helped prevent mould from forming. I've updated that by using a microcloth and find that easier for me to use. I just leave one in the shower and hope that other family members might use it too!
    The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
    Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.
