How to Make an Automatic Shower Spray Cleaner

Automatic shower cleaners are useful when you have little time to handle household chores. At the push of a button, the shower cleaner will spray a cleaning mist, and remove soap scum, mildew and other buildup from your shower walls. This tool eliminates the need to spend 10 to 15 minutes at a time scrubbing down the shower walls by hand. On the downside, the cleaner refill units can be expensive, costing several dollars per refill. As an alternative, refill the empty cleaning canister using inexpensive household ingredients.

Things You'll Need

• 3/4 cup rubbing alcohol
• 1 tsp. dish detergent
• 3 tsp. quick-dry dishwasher rinse
• Warm water

Instructions

1. Pour 3/4 cup of rubbing alcohol into the spray canister, which will clean and disinfect.

2. Pour 1 tsp. of liquid dish soap into the canister to cut through soap scum without leaving streaks.

3. Pour 3 tsp. of a quick-dry dishwasher rinse into the canister to act as the drying agent. The rinse allows the solution to dry quickly without leaving water spots on the shower walls.

4. Fill the canister the rest of the way with warm water, and twist the cap back onto the canister.

5. Shake the bottle lightly to combine ingredients, then place the canister in the shower unit.
