What do you use to clean your glass shower doors if you have hard water stains all over them ?

Question

My shower door are glass they used to be nice and see through but now they are all stained and cloudy from hard water what should I use to clean them ?

Answer 1

Take the doors off and put them in the tub and pour hot water on them and then spray cleaner any will work...this is easy to do...if you have spots that wont come off then get a SOS pad and that will take the rest off and while the doors are off take a old tooth brush and clean the door track...the doors will look new again..trust me this works wonderfully and its so much easier then using elbow grease...no one ever takes 1 minute to pull the doors off..just grab both sides of the door and pull up and take them off so easy...it kills me to go into someone bath room and see nasty doors because they are to lazy to take them off...

Answer 2

Vinegar is great for all that sort of thing. I usually use a good lug of vinegar in half a bucket of water, but if that doesn't work, try it neat. Cleans all glass really well. I use one of those microfibre cloths about once every week or two, just give the walls and floor a bit of a rub with water while I'm in the shower, which means I don't get the multicoloured mouldy buildup and never have to get in there and scrub anymore!

Answer 3

Any product to remove lime scale will clean it. You may have to repeat a couple of times before the buildup has dissappeared. Spray on and let soak in then remove per the instructions on your products bottle.
Once you have gotten it more or less clean and clear...
Put pure vinegar (the cheapest one you find) in a spray bottle and spray it every day or two after you use it...That will keep the buildup from starting over again. Vinegar is very good for removing lime scale, if it is not too badly incrusted.

Answer 4

I got duped into buying that CLR stuff, and i dont think it works well, but if it is mild... you could try the CLR kitchen and bath it is about 7.00 a spray bottle, or use toilet cleaner.... i know it sounds kind of gross, by my parents have a lot of iron in their water, and it seems to be the only thing that take is off well.... be careful of the enamel though it could eat through the finish of left on the tub somehow.

Best of Luck

Answer 5

Use vinegar, this stuff called CLR or believe it or not toilet cleaner. Once you get them clean pick up the shower sprayer(it hangs on the shower head and sprays the whole shower once you have finished showering) then the shower will not get so bad again.

Answer 6

If they are pretty old stains, the glass is probably etched and will never look clear again. Basically, clear glass is a lousy idea for showers. If you replace it, go frosted or commit to a daily squeegy session.

Answer 7

First, I spray it down with Simple Green or a shower cleaner and let it soak. Then I use Bon Ami cleanser. Works very well.

Answer 8

You're all wrong!! Use bicarbonate of soda on a cloth with a little soapy water. This will remove grime and shine most things in the bathroom and kitchen,

Answer 9

Try Lime Away or vinegar I know soaking lime incrusted showheads will come clean using lime away. Good luck it will also take a little elbow grease.

Answer 10

the works... sometimes you can get it at the dollar store. If you let it sit for a bit it works well.
