How to Make Your Own Daily Shower Cleaner

You don't have to buy a commercial cleaner to keep your shower clean.

Making your own daily shower cleaner saves money and keeps you and your family from being exposed to chemicals in commercial cleaners. A homemade shower cleaner can be just as effective as a commercial cleaner in removing dirt and soap scum from showers, and the homemade cleaner does not leave behind an unwanted film or residue.

• 16 or 32 oz. spray bottle
• White distilled vinegar
• Rubber gloves

• Warm water
• Baking soda
• Ammonia
