How to Clean Glass Shower Doors and the Frame

Dry your glass shower doors after each use to keep water spots and soap scum at bay.

Glass doors on a shower add elegance to the entire bathroom. Just like your shower surround, the glass doors and frame will get dirty and need to be cleaned. Soap scum, water spots and other grime build up on the glass and leaves it looking dull and dingy. Make the glass shine and get rid of grime from inside the track by giving them a thorough cleaning.

Things You'll Need

• Spray bottle
• White vinegar
• Microfiber cloth
• Squeegee
• Table salt
• Baking soda
• Bowl
• Sponge
• Old toothbrush

Instructions

1. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Spray the vinegar onto the glass doors.

2. Let the vinegar sit on the doors for a minute or two. Wipe the glass with a microfiber cloth to get it clean. Run a squeegee over the glass to get rid of any remaining moisture, streaks or residue.

3. Mix equal parts table salt and baking soda into a bowl with a few drops of water to create a paste if the doors are especially dirty or plagued with mineral buildup. Spray the glass with vinegar, then scrub the doors with a damp sponge and the paste. Rinse the glass well with water and squeegee to remove any remaining moisture.

4. Spray the door track and frame with white vinegar. Wait about two minutes for the vinegar to dissolve the buildup, then scrub with an old toothbrush. Rinse out the track and frame well with water.
