It’s a good idea to avoid using abrasive cleaners on the sink or bathtub. Keep soap residue and mineral deposits from forming by keeping some inexpensive terry cloths around and wiping down the sink and tub after you’ve used them. If buildup does occur, tackle the problem with warm water and a mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Water stains respond well to a half-and-half mixture of vinegar and water, while mildew and more difficult stains may call for a mix of two parts water to one part bleach. To clean metal fittings, wipe with a damp cloth, and dry right away, or use a mild detergent if necessary. If fittings and faucets need intensive work, a product such as 7 Metal Cleaner will do the job without ********* the finish, and the fittings can be treated with a product such as FaucetBrite, which leaves a protective coating over the metal. Harder-to-reach areas of the fittings can be cleaned with a toothbrush. It’s also good to remember that if you live in an area near salt water, use only chrome fixtures to prevent corrosion.
Flooring, wall, and shower tiles need to be wiped down frequently or mopped with a mild vinegar-and-water or bleach-and-water solution. For heavier cleaning, only use cleaners that are appropriate for the type of tiles you have: porous or nonporous. Porous tiles will need a stone soap; check the manufacturer’s instructions for suggested products. For nonporous tiles, try a bleach and water or vinegar and water solution, while using a product such as Tilex on the grout and a solution such as Top Job or Mr. Clean on nonporous floors.

"The Works", "LimeAway" or other products designed specifically for this. Some people say vinegar. Once it's clean, you can keep a small squeegee in the shower and wipe off the door everytime you're done showering, so you can avoid this scaly situation.

Invest in a good steam cleaner. You can steam clean your whole bathroom, your floors and just about anything else you can clean. It saves thousands of dollars a year and doesn't bother any allergies or lung problems. Soap scum steams right off in a jiffy then wipe it to a damp dry and POOF you are done! I steam clean my whole house. I also use old fashion cleaners with no chemicals if I need to which isn't often. Steam kills more bacteria and germs than chemicals as well!

Mix 1 gal of vinegar, 1 quart of Lemon Ammonia, 1 cup of Dawn. Load into spray bottles. This mixture can be sprayed on to drench the area and let it soak. It removes lime, calcium, and other hard water stains. Spray it over the bathroom sink, toilet, bath tub & shower every time you clean. It kills over 4000 different kinds of germs and bacteria. It is great to clean a kitchen with too! Removes grease in a second. I take a spray bottle with me when I travel to clean restroom toilets/sinks before my family uses them. It's great, it works and it's cheap.

Best ways I have include baking soda and vinegar wash completely with this mix, then rinse thoroughly, afterwards, putting a light coating of lemon oil helps to keep it from forming again so easily, also using a Magic Eraser is really quick and easy, with a bit of vinegar, its a breeze! Hope this helps!

Spray shower doors with white vinegar and scrub (with a scrubbie) starting at the top.
Good luck to you!

same way you clean wine glasses - with dishwashing detergent!!! Just squirt it on and rub with a damp sponge. And because it isn't harsh or smelly you can clean while you have your shower.

White vinegar, straight from the bottle. Douse it good, let it sit, then again and wipe with paper towels. It will be squeaky clean.
