What's the best way to keep my shower clean?

Question

I'm moving into a new apartment in a few days and I want to avoid the mold/mildew/water stains I've received on the shower in my old apartment. Are there any methods/products I can use daily after showering to avoid stains and/or mold and mildew?

Answer 1

Lemon Oil is great to avoid soap scum and it keeps a protective layer on your glass and tub. If you put it on the bottom of your shower be very careful, it will stay slippery for quite some time. A shower mat would be a good idea. You can apply the lemon oil once every 2 weeks, and cleaning should be a snap.

A homemade mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water, and a few drops of your favorite essential oils (found in organic stores and online) will be all you need to spray the shower with after each use, followed by a rinse of water. Your shower will stay clean and the scent will be customized to you!

Answer 2

You can keep these natural mold killers in a handy spray bottle, and spray after every shower, plus keep air flowing through the bathroom- open windows, air vent, etc.

MOLD KILLERS

Tea Tree Treaure
Nothing natural works for mold and mildew as well as this spray. I've used it successfully on a moldy ceiling from a leaking roof, on a musty bureau, a musty rug, and a moldy shower curtain. Tea tree oil is expensive, but a little goes a very long way. Note that the smell of tea tree oil is very strong, but it will dissipate in a few days.
2 teaspoons tea tree oil
2 cups water
Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem areas. Do not rinse.
Makes 2 cups
Preparation Time: Under a minute
Shelf Life: Indefinite
Storage: Leave in the spray bottle

Vinegar Spray
Straight vinegar reportedly kills 82 percent of mold. Pour some white distilled vinegar straight into a spray bottle, spray on the moldy area, and let set without rinsing if you can put up with the smell. It will dissipate in a few hours. It also acts on hard water stains.

Answer 3

~Well we have a door to go in to our shower so when we get out we keep that open. I am thinking that stops the mildew because then it isnt all wet and soaked up in there. You may still get mold but probably not as much or as often. I hope this helped~

Answer 4

Yes, this may help. Not only your cleaning it routinely, but when you finish showering or a bath. Dry off the walls afterwards. Due to the mold being created by the air and particles in the water. This is a big help. When you get done drying off, dry off your shower.

Answer 5

To help reduce stains, get a squeegee and wipe down the walls and glass shower doors after each use.

Answer 6

buy some shower cleaner and scrub it down every week or so. If you dont have time to do it often buy one of those new scrubbing bubbles auto shower cleaners. You can buy them at like wal-mart and stuff like that. You still may have to scrub it out sometimes,but it will reduce how often.

Answer 7

There's no substitute for a bleaching agent. A mild application of 1/4th mix of bleach in water is best. Keep it mixed in a spray bottle and use every week.

Answer 8

Actually, I use a fan to "blow dry" the bathroom.

No humidity and wet surfaces = No Mildew.

That and cleaning regularly.

Answer 9

i don't know, but every week, you should just take soap (i use laundry detergent- it's weird, but it works) and wash it, to prevent it from getting more dirty...it prevents mildew and all that stuff

Answer 10

There arre many daily shower sprays you can buy.
