How to clean a shower

Essential Tools and Materials

Before we dive into the deep-cleaning process, gather the essential tools and materials you'll need:

  • Soft-bristle brush
  • Squeegee
  • Towel
  • Cleaning Solutions: Depending on your shower material, you may need various cleaning solutions like vinegar, baking soda, or commercial cleaners. We'll explore these options as we deep-clean different shower types.
  • The Best Time for a Deep-Clean

    The best time to deep-clean your shower is right after you use it. Here's why:

  • Surface is Wet: The shower surface is already wet from your shower, which helps in loosening dirt and grime, making your cleaning job easier.
  • Steamy Temperature: The steamy temperature from your shower helps to further loosen dirt and grime, reducing the need for excessive scrubbing.
  • Now, let's explore how to deep-clean different types of showers quickly and effectively.

    Cleaning Different Shower Types

    Fiberglass or Acrylic Showers

    1. Begin by removing all shower accessories and bottles. Then, spray the entire area with a commercial shower cleaner or a DIY solution of vinegar and dish soap. Don't forget to clean around faucets and corners using a soft-bristle brush.
    2. To tackle grime on the shower floor, sprinkle baking soda while it's still wet from the cleaner. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush.
    3. Thoroughly rinse the entire shower with water and use a squeegee or towel to remove excess water, preventing water spots.

    Tile Showers

    1. Use a commercial tile cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and dish soap to spray the shower tiles.
    2. Wait for a few minutes to let the cleaning solution break up soap scum and hard water deposits, then scrub the tiles with a soft-bristle brush.
    3. Rinse the tiles thoroughly and use a squeegee or towel to remove excess water. To tackle grout, apply a mixture of baking soda and vinegar using an old toothbrush, scrub, and rinse.

    Natural Stone Showers

    1. Use a cleaning product specifically designed for your type of stone or a small amount of mild dish soap mixed with water. Gently buff the stone surfaces using a sponge or microfiber cloth.
    2. Rinse the surfaces clean and immediately dry them with a soft towel. Regularly wipe down your stone shower after each use, and consider applying a stone sealer twice a year to maintain its beauty.

    Glass Shower Doors, Showerhead, and Drain

    1. For glass shower doors, you can create a cleaning solution with vinegar and dish soap. Apply it to the doors, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then wipe away the solution with a damp sponge and dry with a microfiber cloth. For limescale and soap scum, use a mixture of baking soda and dish soap.
    2. To clean the showerhead, fill a plastic bag with distilled white vinegar, slip it over the showerhead, secure it with a rubber band, wait for an hour, and then remove and flush with water. Polish it with a soft cloth.
    3. For the shower drain, remove the cover, soak it in white vinegar to remove soapy residue, and use a straightened wire hanger with a hook to remove any clogs. Finish by rinsing with hot water.

    Maintaining a Sparkling Shower

    To keep your shower sparkling between deep-cleaning sessions, consider daily after-shower upkeep. After each shower, use a squeegee or an absorbent towel to remove excess water from walls and doors. 

    You can also use daily shower cleaning sprays for a convenient way to prevent soap buildup. These sprays should be applied right after your shower, following the manufacturer's directions.
