How to Clean a Shower Daily
Even the most diligent homemaker may dread cleaning the bathroom. Mold, mildew and grime tend to collect there, and bathrooms typically have more nooks and crevices than other rooms in the home. Showers and tubs are especially susceptible to stains, mildew and soap buildup. A daily scrub-down can help keep your shower sparkling and sanitary and reduce how often you'll need to give it a deeper cleaning. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
If you prefer to use natural cleaning products, you can clean your shower and fixtures with undiluted distilled white vinegar, which also helps deter mold and mildew. After applying and scrubbing, rinse with water.
To help prevent mildew, apply a coat of car wax to the inside of plastic shower doors or curtains.
Once every week or two, combine half-empty bottles of shampoo, soap and conditioner to reduce clutter.
