Cleaning a shower door which has years of use!?

Question

Shower door which I inherited when I bought my new home is quite dirty - I have tried every product under the sun to no avail - has anybody any simple remedy out there as I really dont want to go to the expense of replacing it - its a three pannelled door that slides across and all down the sides and the ends its discoloured - thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Use Mr. Clean Bathroom - it's a gel formula. Apply, keep it on the surface (door) for 10-15 minutes than wash away. Results guaranteed!!!

Answer 2

Try using a spray that you spray on once a day, like tilex or scrubbin bubles. do that for a bit and see if there is any change. my mother-in-law is in love with bleach, she sprayed some on her shower and waited a few minutes then rinsed it off.

I've had the Miracle Eraser work great for me. If it's really stubborn try using The Works toilet bowl cleaner, not the shower cleaner. It'll really eat it up, but be sure to keep the bathroom very well ventilated when you use it, and rinse often to prevent any possible glass etching. You'll probably want to wear gloves too. And a toothbrush will be handy to get into the track.

zep tub and tile cleaner you can get it at home depot... let it sit for 15 min and do it again that will get rid of saop scum and some scale... If it is still cloudy get bam or lime away you can do both but give some time in between

I own several apts and some tenants do not clean so well this rectifies it (zep)p s wear gloves and don't breath the stuff

Answer 5

I don"t have shower doors, LOL, I have tried every cleaning product on the market. I purchased a hand held Steam Cleaner..It blows out HOT STEAM.. Works great around the whole house, makes windows and mirrors shine, as for the discoloration, .Consider masking it off and painting it if you could..Is it metal or plastic?..

Answer 6

there is a product out called Thunder Blast you can get it at Walmart cheap. get comet also. spray the thunder blast on the shower door and let it soak for about 20 minutes, then spray agian and sprinkle comet on it. let set just a few minutese, and then scrub it off, if it does not remove all of it, then get a razor like you scrape paint from windows and you can get those at walmart too. and scrape it off with that, it won't scratch it, because it's made for glass, it the soak scum is too thick on it, it will take the razor. this even works on the medal edges.

Answer 7

Believe it or not -- any brand of lemon oil furniture polish works. It cannot be the spray on kind. Rub it on with a cloth and polish it off with another. Be care to protect the shower floor with old towels as it can get very slippery if you get the oil on the floor's surface.

Answer 8

Comet and a sos pad. I have a electric scrubber I just put my sos pad on it, but it won't take much elbow grease. The sos does most the scrubbing for you. If it is so bad the soap scum is 1cm raised take them to a car wash an take a razor blade SCRAPER (NOT A RAZOR BLADE ITSELF! YOU WILL CUT YOURSELF!!!!) and some good degreaser like Mean Green. which you can get at any Dollar General.

Answer 9

shower door usually is made of alluminium. To clean it easily by tide bleach. Spray on surface of where you want to clean, 1/2 hour later everything clean then turn on vacum to take smelt and air.

Answer 10
