Comments on How to Remove Soap Scum From Shower Doors

    Just use a fresh single edge razor blade on glass or tiles...works great and no fumes. Spray the residue away after you're done scraping. This is much faster and safer than using chemicals, neater and you don't need gloves.

    Mr. Clean Eraser and Palmolive Gel Diswashing Detergent worked for me. Do it exactly the way SHALYMAR413 instructs. It didn't even take a lot of effort.

    After reading about the Mr. Clean eraser tip, I had to try it right away -- it was amazing and easy. We're in the process of selling our house, so I'm a real fanatic about spotless cleanliness, and this truly did the trick.

    Mr. Clean Eraser + Liquid dishwashing detergent got rid of my soap scum with almost no elbow grease. Nothing else worked for me.

    Easiest of all. I got rid of my glass doors years ago (too much work) and bought fabric shower curtains. Remove them and throw them into the washing machine, maybe once a month or so. They last for years until you get sick of looking at them and buy new colors!

    I have found that using rubbing alcohol works terrific for removing soap scum. Sometimes a soap scum will prevent hard mineral cleaner from working properly. Remove the soap scum first and then use a mineral cleaner if needed. Hope that helps.

    And for those of us that don't want to worry about adequate ventilation, protective gear, potentially hazardous chemical reactions, and overnight projects: Bring-It-ON cleaner. Darned amazing stuff.

    Clean soap scum with Krud Kuttter, then polish with Jubilee. Polish glass with Rain X. Also squeegee after shower use.

    After removing soap scum polish tiles with Jubilee and glass with rain x. Use a squeegee each time you finish showering, also great tip to teach children. (train early)

    I tried several cleaners, then turned to the Internet to try your suggestions. I bought some KABOOM tile and bathroom cleaner. It instructed me to spray on the surface and leave on for one to five minutes. Much to my surprise, a paper towel took off all of those layers of scum with no harm to the tub or glass.

    Spay WD-40 all over the surface. Get a white paper towel or white terry cloth and wipe off. You won't believe what comes off. The white towel is now black and the door is now clean. WD-40 is harmless to your skin. Open a window due to aroma. Go to their website for many other ways to clean with their amazing product.

    Use a damp, plastic scouring pad sprinkled with baking soda.

    My three year old helped us discover this one. While playing in our dry shower (don't ask) he rubbed a Brachs butterscotch candy on our shower door. Not thinking much about it at the time, I proceeded to take it away from him thinking he would scratch the glass. Much to my surprise the next morning, when I showered, the soap scum in that area vanished! As an experiment, I took three of the candies, put them in a double boiler, added some water and melted them down. Spreading the concoction with an icing knife on the shower door, then rinsing with super, hot water, I was thrilled to see the door sparkle like new. For less than 45 cents, we have discovered a miracle and now also clean our windows with Brachs butterscotch!

    You guys are incredible! I came here out of desperation on how to clean 5 years of accumulated soap scum from my master bath's two glass shower doors. Let's just say four small kids haven't made sparkling glass shower doors a priority for me the last five years. I saw the post on using shout or any liquid laundry stain remover so I thought what the heck? I grabbed my ZOUT from the laundry room (which is great on stains by the way) and spent the last fifteen minutes spraying and gently scrubbing with an old scrubby sponge from my kitchen. The soap scum basically wiped away! My shower doors are pristine and beautiful again! Thanks so much!
