Answer 1

Soap scum is made up of talc, body oils and minerals from hard water. If left to dry, soap scum removal can be one of the most difficult parts of cleaning a bathroom, but it doesn't have to be that way. To eliminate this problem, first try a little preventative maintenance. Keep a squeegee in your bathroom to wipe down shower doors and walls after every bath or shower. In addition, if you use a bar soap, you might want to consider switching to a liquid soap since it doesn't contain talc. Finally, here's a quick soap scum removal tip: use a dryer sheet! Just dampen and wipe along your shower door, soap scum will no longer be an issue. This also works for cleaning bathroom tiles of this unsightly film as well.

Strange, but true by eHow Friend
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!
