Cleaning help...

Options
No, I don't need help with cleaning hehe but rather I was wondering if someone knew the best homemade stuff to clean off soapscum off glass shower doors ? I've tried various store bought stuff and nothing seems to work well....
I do house cleaning a few times a week and to me I don't feel like I'm doing the best job if I still see soapmarks on there :mad:
:D *If you like the advice I give...let me know by clicking the THANKS button* :D

    Maybe a spray bottle with a solution of lemon juice or white vinegar to spray on to clean off the soapscum and limescale? A drop of washing up liquid will help break the surface tension as well, making the lemon juice/vinegar stick to the glass.
    Worth a try! :)
    If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

    Sure I read somewhere to that once you have cleaned your door, spray with Spray Polish and buff up well - it applies wax to the surface and acts like a repellent when water hits it a few times after. Try it and see...:j

    white vinager with water in a "plant sprayer" should work and will be more cost effective than the chemical stuff they sell in the supermarket.
    Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"
