my glass shower has a lot of water spots....?

Question

i clean it and the glass seems clean but those water spots inside are still there. any tips?? thank you.

Answer 1

we used Windex and news paper to clean glass. it did a fine job. maybe you could try it?

Answer 2

I would use CLR to remove the water spots. Once the water spots are gone, use car wax to wax the glass. This will prevent the hard water from "hardening" on the glass. You'll need to do this every few months, as the wax will gradually go away.

Also, after every shower, use a small squee-jee (sp) to wipe away the water, yet still keeping your shower doors clean looking. Using a towel can leave streaks.

Answer 3

Clean the residue on you shower with a product with Tilex or a similar product. Use a green scrubber pad. Rinse the residue off and dry the glass. Take a terry cloth rag and coat it with lemon oil. Wipe the shower doors with lemon oil. About a week or so lemon oil the shower doors again. This will keep the residue from building up because it can't stick. The lemon oil gives the shower a pleasant smell and works well. Hope this helps.

Your problem is certainly not unique, though I understand the frustrations. Sadly we have to add so many chemicals to our water supply to make it potable, that even beyond a natural "Hardness" including calcium, iron, and other elements present in the water; we are prone to stains and buildup.

It is a maintenance issue certainly, and one that probably should be addressed after each shower. Certainly there are many valid answers and suggestions here; I'll just add my two cents.

I use Clear Shower, and it's adequate, after every shower. If a build up should occur I've also used single edged razor blades to scrape the deposits; as well as those spun plastic scrubbers like one uses for washing dishes.

One suggestion that would be costly would be filtration, and/or a water softener.

Another is to allow VENTING from the bathroom, especially after a shower to release steam, help dry the water on the doors, and cool the bathroom down.

On an empathic note; many of us endure the same problem; and it's a major reason why so many after shower chemicals are sold today. A Home remedy would be Vinegar and a "scrunge".

Answer 5

Use a commercial water spot cleaner/remover. Its designed to get rid of hard water and mineral water stains and spots. There are many on the market, here is a great one:

Answer 6

the water spots are only lime scale, use any good bathroom cleaner it will cure the problem.
a shower is no different really from anything else in your home. how often do you go round with your hoover, how often do you polish your furniture...? clean your bathroom and shower just as regular...

Dry the glass after every shower, it works for me!
