Comments on How to Remove Soap Scum From Shower Doors

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!

During spring cleaning, I completely took off my shower doors to do a good cleaning. After cleaning the crevices, I still had that haze, known as scum. I came here looking for solutions and one of the readers recommended Goo Gone. It works like magic, for stubborn areas, just apply a second coat -- makes your shower doors look new again.

I used 2-3 ounces of Murphy's in a quart of warm water, applied with 0000 steel wool, let dry and finished up with some Kaboom to clear any film off. Worked well on tile, tub, and fixtures, not so good on glass door.

Clean glass and tile with a 0000 steel wool pad soaked in white vinegar. Wear rubber gloves and ventilate room as you work. Rinse and dry when done.

Apply with Tuffy, or simular scrubing pad, full strength. Rinse off throughly before it dries (1-2 minutes) Cancel the handyman...you're done!

Use Cascade liquid dishwasher detergent. rub on with a nylon potscrubber, rinse with soft cloth. (cloth baby daipers work great).

Clean off any existing soap scum build-up with a clean scubby sponge. Use the plastic scrubber side - it will not scratch glass. Dry it completely and spray it with Rain-X windshield cleaner to prevent future buildup.

Take a sheet of dryer fabric softener (I use Bounce), make it wet and wipe the shower door glass. It works like magic.

I have tried everything that I've read on the internet and every product that claims to remove soap scum and water deposits from the shower doors to no end, I even considered replacing the glass. The other day I purchased Cerama Bryte to clean the glass ceramic cooktop. After reading the instructions carefully, this product claimed to clean glass shower doors (like I haven't seen this before), I figured all I've got to lose is a few more calories cleaning those dang doors again, I'm surprised I haven't actually rubbed a hole into the glass by now. Here is what I did: 1) Cleaned glass shower doors with CLR bathroom & kitchen cleaner. 2) Let dry overnight. 3) Applied Cerama Bryte glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner on to a dry Cerama Bryte cleaning pad and rubbed like heck in circles and let dry to a powder. 4) Wiped the powder off with a clean dry towel. 5) Cleaned with straight vinegar to get the powder haze completely off.

Use laundry detergent as a powder cleanser. It's nonabrasive and highly effective.

This is the best way to remove stubborn scum from shower doors. Use the finest gauge steel wool possible and gently rub the door in a circular motion. Rinse and coat lightly with car wax to prevent future build-up.

I squeegee my doors every time I take a shower. This will prevent soap scum completely.

After your shower door is clean, rub the inside with a cloth saturated in baby oil. This will eliminate scum for weeks. Reapply every few weeks to keep scum gone indefinitely.

1. Spray KRUD KUTTER (can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot) generously on glass. 2. Scrub and wipe with paper towels. 3. Spray with Windex and wipe with paper towels. (this will remove the cloudiness from glass) The soap scum comes off without having to use much elbow grease.

Use "Lime Away" on your shower. It will completely take all the soap scum and hard water stains off your shower. Be sure to wear rubber gloves though. Spray it on and leave it for about 5 minutes, then lightly scrub your shower down and rinse.

Scrub with SOS pads. It will remove the film from shower doors easily.

Lemon oil (sold as furniture polish) and a plastic scouring pad work well also. I used to work for a housecleaning service, and this is how they taught us to do it.

After cleaning the shower stall or tub area, use car wax as you would on a car. It will keep soap scum from building up, and the water will bead right off.

Rub doors with a dry, used Bounce dryer sheet. On bad spots, rub in a circular motion.

After you clean the shower doors. Completely dry them. And wipe Rain-X product on. Let dry and completely wipe off.This will eliminate the build up for weeks.

A friend told me to try Spray & Wash, or any other laundry stain remover. I tried Shout. I sprayed it on the shower doors and let it sit for 15 minutes. I barely had to scrub at all and all of the soap scum that I have been trying to get rid of for years is gone!
