How to wash a shower window?

The shower windows, whether the glass door or the walls, must be cleaned regularly to avoid limescale stains and soap residue.

In this article, I offer you my best tips and tricks for cleaning a shower window easily!

1. Wash the shower glass with vinegar

A natural product that can be used to clean shower windows and walls is white vinegar. No need to buy household vinegar from the store, good old white vinegar is just as effective as a cleaner.

  1. Mix white vinegar with water in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray the solution on the glass and the shower walls and let it act.
  3. Scrub and clean with a cloth, rinse and dry the glass to finish.

To remove stubborn soap scum and lime stains on the shower glass and even on a shower curtain, you can use pure vinegar or better still hot vinegar.

In addition to being effective for the shower glass, vinegar also makes the windows of the house shine, as you will discover here: Clean windows and windows with white vinegar.

2. Clean the glass shower door with a lemon

Lemon is another grandmother’s tip that can be used to naturally clean the glass door, but also to clean the tiles in a shower and the walls. Here are 2 methods to use lemon as a cleanser:

First method:

  1. Cut a lemon in half and scrub the shower glass with the lemon.
  2. Take a cloth soaked in warm water to continue cleaning the glass.
  3. Dry the shower panes with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

Second method:

  • Mix water with lemon juice and spray the solution on the glass.
  • Rub the surface with a cloth or better still a sponge and dry to finish.

For a very dirty and lime-stained shower screen, you can heat a little lemon juice mixed with hot vinegar.

3. Remove limescale from a shower pane with acetone

Limescale can stain shower walls and windows and unfortunately these limescale stains are difficult to remove.

To remove lime stains on a window you can use these 3 products:

  • acetone
  • methylated spirits
  • household alcohol

Simply use a cloth and one of these products to clean and scrub the lime stains off the glass shower door.

Prefer the use of alcohol to wash the glass and if the stains are really encrusted then use acetone.

Acetone can also be used to clean pvc windows and other yellowed and blackened surfaces.

4. Vinegar, salt and newspaper for the shower glass

If you like to test grandmother’s recipes then here are some that can wash and shine shower windows:

  1. Add to a bucket 4 cups of hot water and add a handful of table salt.
  2. Mix well to dissolve the salt in the hot water and add 1 cup of white vinegar.
  3. Make balls out of newspaper and scrub the shower glass and walls.
  4. Rinse with clean water to finish and dry the glass with a soft cloth.

Vinegar mixed with water can also be used to shine a mirror or even to clean a window.

5. Clean a glass shower cubicle with Blanc de Meudon

Do you know the Blanc de Meudon? Very popular for different grandma tricks, Blanc de Meudon can be used to clean and shine a glass shower enclosure.

Here’s how to use it to wash your shower enclosure:

  2. Mix well and apply the mixture to the walls of the shower stall.
  3. Clean with a sponge and scrub more at the stains.

If you want to avoid stubborn stains that are difficult to remove, you must clean and maintain your shower regularly and especially the windows.

So, a few times a week simply wash the shower panes with soapy water.

Don’t forget the shower squeegee!
