How To Clean Frosted Glass Shower Doors

Each time we take a shower we leave behind a soapy residue on everything that got wet: the tub surround, the shower curtain, the tub floor, etc. Frosted shower doors are no exception, and they should be dried with a squeegee after each shower so a soapy film does not build up. However, it probably already has.

Things You'll Need

• Non-ammoniated cleaning products (Bar Keepers Friend, Arm & Hammer Scrub Free, Sparkle, etc.)
• Rags
• Lemon oil
• Vinegar
• Squeegee

Instructions

1. Remove soap scum with whatever product you've had the most success with. Some swear by Arm & Hammer Scrub Free; others like the Bar Keepers Friend.

2. Remove hard water stains and/or mineral deposits with straight vinegar or lemon oil. Simply wipe either onto the shower door with a cloth and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then wipe off. Repeat if necessary.

3. Wipe away streaks with an ammonia-free glass cleaner, like Sparkle.

4. Prevent soap scum from building up on your shower door by wiping it down with a squeegee after each shower. Wiping a light layer of lemon oil on the door will help prevent soapy buildup as well.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not use products with ammonia on frosted glass.
