Shower cleaning spray

Step1

Spray a no-wipe shower cleaner on shower walls and doors or curtains immediately after every shower.

Step2

Use a plastic liner to protect shower curtains from getting wet, which can lead to mildew.

Step3

Periodically machine wash linen shower curtains.

Step4

Periodically wash the plastic liner with a detergent containing chlorine bleach.

Step5

Open a window in the bathroom after taking a shower in order to reduce moisture, lowering the chance for mildew to develop.

Step6

Close wet shower curtains so that mildew does not form in the folds.

Step7

Periodically clean the shower head by soaking it in a mixture of vinegar and water that has been boiled and has simmered for 10 to 15 minutes. Plastic shower heads should soak in equal parts vinegar and water, while metal shower heads can use up to eight parts water to every part of vinegar.

Step8

If mildew forms, clean it with a mildew remover or a solution of one part bleach to four parts water.
