Cleaning
Your Shower Stalls
Keep mildew from taking hold by wiping shower walls with a towel
after each shower, while you
are still in the tub.
If the shower area is, subject to mildew, periodically spry it with a
mildew inhibitor and disinfectant.
Leave your shower door a bit opened to let air flow around and deter the
formation of mildew.
If possible, install a venting fan, which greatly reduces the moisture that
causes mildew.
Get rid of water deposits on your shower enclosure with a mixture of
vinegar and water.
When you clean your glass shower door with a sponge and white vinegar they
will sparkle.
If the grout or calking in your shower breaks away where the wall joins the
tub or shower floor, recaulk immediately to prevent water damage.
You can get rid of watermarks on the metal frames around your enclosures
and shower doors with some lemon oil.
When your shower needs a thorough cleaning let the water in your shower run
at its hottest temperature, this will cause the steam to loosen any dirt.
Then, take a sponge mop and clean it with a mixture of a half-cup of vinegar,
one-cup of clear ammonia, and one-quarter cup of baking soda mixed with one
gallon of water. After you, finish cleaning your shower rinse it with plain
water. Do not use harsh abrasive to clean your shower.
