Homemade Shower Cleaner Solution

Make your own homemade shower cleaner with low-cost ingredients.

When browsing through the shower cleaning products at your local supermarket, you often see many items that claim to do the same job. Looking more closely, you notice a variety of price ranges as well as ingredient lists on these products that are filled with chemicals that you do not want to use in your home. Instead, make a homemade shower cleaner solution that safely cleans any shower surface without use of harsh chemicals.

Things You'll Need

• Spray bottle
• Dish soap
• White vinegar
• Sponge with nylon scrubber
• Cleaning rags

Instructions

1. Fill a spray bottle with about 2 cups of water.

2. Add 1/2 tsp. dish soap and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Shake the spray bottle gently to mix the ingredients.

3. Spray the solution onto your shower surface, saturating the surface well.

4. Scrub down the shower with a wet sponge. Use the nylon scrubber side for thicker residue that is more difficult to remove. Clean as needed until your entire shower is cleaned to your satisfaction.

5. Rinse the shower with warm water, or wipe down with a damp cleaning rag to remove excess cleaning solution. Let your shower air-dry, or dry the shower with a clean rag to prevent water spots or streaks.
