How to Clean Soap Scum Off Glass Shower Doors

Soap scum builds up on your shower doors each time you use your shower. The type of water that you have, the soaps and shampoos that are used along with the moisture in the shower contribute to the scum build up...

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Glass Shower Doors
• Liquid Comet
• Ajax or Comet
• Scrubbing Pad (SOS or Brillo)
• Water
• Terry Cloth Cleaning Rags or Towels
• Glass Cleaner
• Rubber Gloves

1. The best way to avoid scum build up is to clean your shower every week. This will also help to cut down on bacteria and hard water film that gets on your shower doors.

2. The first thing to do is to spray down the doors with the Liquid Comet. Wait about 15 minutes before you start cleaning the doors. During this time, the Liquid Comet should have started dissolving the soap scum. Next, wet a terry cloth cleaning rag in hot water and start wiping down your doors. If your doors have a lot of build up, you will not remove all of the scum the first time. Spray the doors down again. Wait another 15 minutes. If your shower doors have textured glass, take a Brillo or SOS pad and soak in hot water. Apply some regular Comet or Ajax on the pad and lightly scrub the shower glass. At this point you should be able to remove any soap scum that was left. If you have smooth glass in your doors, you will have to use the Brillo pad or SOS pad with an extra light hand in order to keep from scratching the glass.
   Once you have removed the soap scum, rinse the glass with warm water. Dry the glass with a terry cloth towel. Spray the doors with glass cleaner and wipe with a lint free cloth or shami. Wipe one side of the doors vertically and the other horizontally. This will allow you to see what side of the door you have left smudges.

3. To keep the scum from building back up on your shower doors, spray them once or twice a week with the Liquid Comet. If you have a shower head that you can hold, all you will have to do is to spray the doors down .If your shower head is stationary, wet a terry cleaning cloth with hot water and wipe the doors down. Once a month, clean your doors as outlined in Step 2.
