You take a shower or a bath to clean yourself, but your shower needs to be cleaned too. Whether you have a bathtub/shower combo or a freestanding shower with built-in glass doors, you're going to have to take the time to clean it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cleaning solution
  • Lemon (optional)
  • White vinegar (optional)
  • Sponge
  • Squeegee
  • Cotton balls (optional)
  1. Step 1

    Determine the type of shower you have. Your shower stall may be porcelain, fiberglass or tile. Depending on the type of shower stall you have in your home, your cleaning needs may be different.

  2. Step 2

    Purchase your cleaning supplies. You can always buy over-the-counter cleaning products, such as "The Works" or "Scrubbing Bubbles." If you want to use everyday home products, use lemon and white vinegar for all shower types.

  3. Step 3

    Spray your shower with the cleaning solution. If you're using home products, cut your lemon in half and wipe your shower walls, and glass shower door if you have one, with the lemon. Take cotton balls soaked in white vinegar and place them into the corners of your shower walls to attack any mildew.

  4. Step 4

    Scrub the shower. You can use a sponge or a squeegee to wipe the cleaning solution or lemon juice and "shower scum" off of the shower walls, or glass doors. Remove the cotton balls from the corner of your shower, wiping away the mildew.

  5. Step 5

    Rinse your shower walls.
