Shower cleaning
Shower cleaning is a laborious but necessary task - and with so many different elements to keep clean it can be a minefield to know where to start. There are simple ways to keep on top of this job though.
For separate shower enclosures that feature a shower tray, be sure to clean it at least once a week using a mild cleaner and soft microfibre cloth. The cleaning product you use will differ depending on the material your bath and or shower is made from:
Acrylic baths and showers are very popular, especially in modern homes. To get these tubs and showers sparkling, mix together a solution of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spritz across the surface and gently scrub with a sponge to remove soap scum. For tougher stains, try applying a baking soda paste, leaving it to stand for 30 minutes before scrubbing away.
You can use the same white vinegar and water solution for stone resin, with the addition of lemon. Again, mix in a bottle, spray and scrub away with a soft cloth. If you notice a build-up of limescale, leave the solution to stand for an hour before wiping it off.
If you have natural stone fittings rinse them completely and ensure you have the right specialised cleaning products made for your surfaces before attempting to clean.
When it comes to descaling your shower head, you can keep it looking sparkling clean with a similar process to taps. We have a really great method using white vinegar and a sandwich bag....
