when I recently moved my shower screen was caked in scum. My best tip was either cilit bang or white vinegar and a kitchen scourer, the green plastic ones. Spray the white vinegar on if you can and leave as long as you can then wipe over with the sponge/scourer and it does come off. Then get some cheap shower spray which can be sprayed after you have had a shower and you will notice it does not build up. Worked for me.

Vinegar is best.
But you could use sugar soap (available in powder or concentrated liquid form from DIY shops) and a plastic type scrubber if there were other contaminents. Needs thorough rinsing after although it is not corrosive or anything like that. Once it is clear try spraying the screen after each use with shower cleaner (eg LIDL's) which is otherwise not much use

I read all the previous answers and they're all great but I have a kinda weird one. Make a paste out of 3% Peroxide (you probably have it already in your medicine cabinet) and Cream of Tartar; the one you use to make meringue. Most of the soap scum is caused by hard water. I'm gonna try the idea of using lemon oil to prevent it from happening again!

I am a cleanning lady for over thirty years and Ive cleaned more than my share of shower scum I find what works best is Lysol tub-n-tile cleanner. just spray on and let set the longer you let it set the easier it will come off and here is a great tip or should I say one of my secrets, after you remove all the scum rub entire surface with lemon oil and you will nener have this problem agin.

spray with either sugar soap or white distilled vinegar and wipe of with a non scratch pad, if use use a microfibre cloth after each use it will stay scum free

I second the vinegar remedy. Worked great for me. Even with screens that aren't smooth. Trick is to use it straight, not diluted. White distilled vinegar only.

the one miracle product that i found works is from the "Oz kleen" range-it's called bath power. spray on and leave for a few mins then give a good wipe and rinse.

you could try SCD Bio Klean. its a microbial enzyme/bacteria that eats organic compounds and creates a balanced environment.if you have the right enzymes on there,maybe the scum cant build up
