How to clean shower doors with vinegar
White vinegar is something you should have in your house at all times. Not only does it work to clean your fruits and veggies, but it also gets that mildew smell out of towels, freshens linens and even gets rid of soap scum and build up on your shower doors.
To use vinegar to clean glass shower doors with hard water stains you’ll need the following:
- A spray bottle
- White vinegar
- Water
- Microfiber cloth/or sponge
- Squeegee
Directions:
- Heat up vinegar in microwave until very warm.
- Next, fill a spray bottle with 1 part vinegar to 3 parts warm water. Mix well.
- Spray solution directly onto shower doors and massage into the glass using a microfiber cloth or sponge.
- Let solution sit for 15 minutes.
- Spray shower clean and follow up using a shower squeegee.
Note: if your soap scum is pretty heavy, consider using a mixture of half vinegar, half water. If that still doesn’t work, try the other cleaning techniques below.

How to make your own dawn and vinegar shower cleaner
Dawn dish detergent is another great item to have on hand. Dawn is a popular way to remove grease stains from clothes and also works really well to remove soap scum build up from your shower.
To clean your shower doors with vinegar and dawn you’ll need the following:
- 1 cup vinegar
- Dawn dish detergent
- spray bottle
- squeegee
- bowl
Directions:
- Heat up 1 cup vinegar in microwave.
- Mix vinegar with 1 cup dawn (make sure it’s dawn blue dish detergent).
- Fill solution in spray bottle and spray directly onto shower walls.
- Massage solution into shower doors using scrub brush.
- Allow solution to sit on shower doors.
- Rinse off.
- Follow up with a microfiber cloth or shower squeegee.
How long do you leave dawn and vinegar on shower doors?
Ideally you want the dawn and vinegar solution to permeate the soap scum, so leaving on for at least 10 minutes is a good idea.
I typically spray the shower doors first, clean with a cloth and then clean the rest of my grout and tile in the shower. Remember to rinse with warm water and finish with a squeegee.
How to: Vinegar and baking soda shower cleaner
If you’ve got some heavy duty soap scum and grime on your shower doors that plain old vinegar won’t touch, it might be time to step up your cleaning game by using vinegar and baking soda.
Adding baking soda to the vinegar gives it some grit and works to really penetrate the soap scum. With this recipe you’ll have more of a paste, rather than a solution, so just mix the two in a cup or shallow bowl.
To clean shower doors with vinegar and baking soda you’ll need:
- 1 ½ cups vinegar
- ½ baking soda
- sponge/brush
- squeegee/microfiber cloth
Directions:
- Warm 1 ½ cups of vinegar in microwave
- Pour warmed vinegar over ½ cup of baking soda, just enough to combine and make a paste– Don’t let it get too runny.
- Combine in bowl or cup. There will be bubbles! Combining vinegar and baking soda is perfectly safe but it will cause a chemical reaction, hence the bubbles.
- Rub onto shower doors and work into glass using a sponge or brush
- Rinse solution with warm water and finish with a microfiber cloth or squeegee
How to keep glass shower doors clean in between cleanings
Glass shower doors are a beautiful element to any bathroom, but if you don’t stay on top of the cleaning, they can quickly become unsightly.
Once you’ve completed a thorough cleaning using one of the techniques I mentioned above, there are a few things you can do to cut down on your cleaning time and keep your shower doors sparkling.
Use a squeegee or microfiber cloth
Using a squeegee or microfiber cloth to wipe down your shower doors after every use is the key to preventing hard water stains and keeping your glass looking fresh and clear in between cleanings.
I keep a squeegee in our shower and trust me, the difference it makes is amazing.
I’m someone that can’t stand to see stains on my beautiful glass, and using a squeegee does the trick!
Keep a spray bottle filled with 1 part vinegar, 3 parts water
It doesn’t hurt to keep a spray bottle mixed with 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water in your shower. I like to spray down my walls about every 3 or so days and wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
Use Rain-x to keep shower doors clean
Using Rain-x to keep shower doors free of hard water stains is a little trick I stumbled upon years ago, and wow, does it work.
Once you deep clean your shower doors using one of the methods above, finish off with a little Rain-x. Use a microfiber cloth to buff in the Rain-x, drying as you go.
Closing thoughts on cleaning shower doors with vinegar
Never underestimate the power of all-natural household cleaning products like vinegar to keep your shower doors clean.
If you’ve got a glass shower door riddled with hard water stains and soap scum, don’t attempt to use a commercial cleaning solution to clean your glass, and instead opt to clean with vinegar!

How to Make the Best Shower Door Cleaner Ever with Dawn & Vinegar
Here’s how to make the best shower door cleaner EVER using Dawn & vinegar~a powerhouse combo to leave glass shower doors sparkling clean.
Update: I recently discovered that the Dawn-Vinegar solution also works to clean the greasy gunk from oven doors. I’ll share this great discovery at the end of this post!
Why shouldn’t I use a traditional shower cleaner?
Using a store-bought shower cleaner often exposes you to harsh chemicals. The traditional cleaners will effectively clean your shower, but if you are wanting to avoid harsh chemicals and intense smells, then this homemade shower cleaner is a great option for you! It is much easier on your nose than many store-bought alternatives.
Can I save money by making my own shower cleaner?
Absolutely! These two basic items are almost certainly already inside your house.
By using these, you can save yourself from having to buy a new cleaner and just use these instead. SUPER easy and perfect for when you need to clean your shower in a rush.
What are shower doors made of?
Most shower doors are made of tempered glass, a special type of glass that is safer if broken than regular glass. In this post, I have only tested this solution on glass shower doors. I am not recommending it for any other shower door or for any tile, stone, or marble.
What causes white stains on shower doors?
Most white stains on shower doors are hard water stains, sometimes called soap scum. It is what remains on shower doors when hard water mixes with dirt, soap residue, and body oils. If allowed to build up over time, the deposits harden and can be very difficult to clean. The most common place for soap scum to cling is to the shower doors that are used regularly. The steam, water, soaps, shampoos, and other bathing products eventually end up causing a cloudy film on the shower doors that is very unattractive.
What dish soap works best to clean shower doors?
Dawn is the only dish soap that I ever use for dishes and for cleaning shower doors. Why? In a word~grease. Dawn is the only dish soap (to my knowledge) containing a special grease-fighting agent that almost melts grease into oblivion.
What is the best vinegar to clean shower doors?
The vinegar that works in this dynamic Dawn & vinegar duo is plain white distilled vinegar. It is the least expensive vinegar you can buy, and it is also the best one to tackle this and other household cleaning tasks. Distilled white vinegar is the “workhorse” or all vinegar!
What tools do I need to clean my shower doors?
The tools that I use to clean my shower doors with the Dawn & vinegar solution are a microfiber cloth or clean washcloth to wipe down the shower doors after they have been sprayed with the solution, a good spray shower to rinse the solution, and a squeegee (if I can find it) to wipe the shower doors dry.
Dawn & vinegar works better than store-bought cleaners.
I’ve tried myriad cleaners specifically for bathrooms~from Rain-X to scrubbing bubbles and beyond. I’ve never had any store-bought cleaner work better than this easy, inexpensive, DIY Dawn vinegar solution.
What is so special about Dawn and vinegar?
- Dawn breaks down grease and grime. Of all the dishwashing soaps you can buy, Dawn is the best at removing oils. In oil spills, it is the best solution for cleaning the birds’ feathers without harming their skin. The reason? Dawn contains petroleum. It sounds counterintuitive, but it works.
- Vinegar removes residue and imparts shine. It is a nature’s wonder that can be used for so many purposes. My dermatologist Dr. Jo Herzog shares what it does in this post on Listerine vinegar foot soak.
How effective is vinegar as a cleaner?
Vinegar is extremely effective as a cleaner, besides just removing residue, vinegar is also pretty effective in killing mold.
Bleach does this as well, but vinegar is a much safer alternative while being just as effective. Vinegar is a great solution for a mildewy shower.
Which Dawn should I use for shower door cleaner?
If you want the breakdown of the different Dawn dish detergent options, I list them below. In my opinion, any Dawn will do a beautiful job, along with vinegar, of cleaning shower doors.
- The New and Improved Dawn Ultra Blue contains “3X More Grease Cleaning Power.” It is 3 times stronger than non-ultra Dawn (regular Dawn).
- 3X Dawn is 50% stronger than the 2X varieties.
- Note that some other varieties of Dawn Ultra still say “2X Grease Cleaning Power.”
The recipe for Dawn & vinegar shower door cleaner.
- Use equal parts Dawn + vinegar. You can also cut the Dawn if your mixture is too thick.
- Heat the solution in the microwave for 2 minutes (do not boil). Stir well, and pour into the bottle when not too hot.
This is key for the effective mixing/blending of the mixture. - Put the solution into a good spray bottle. These clear spray bottles come in a set of 3 and are less than $20.
- Use a funnel for mess-free pouring. Collapsable funnels like these are ideal as they don’t take up drawer space.
How to clean shower doors with Dawn + Vinegar.
- Spray the Dawn + Vinegar solution liberally on dry shower doors. Wet shower doors dilute the mixture. Also, the solution clings to dry shower doors better than wet ones.
- Leave it on for at least 2-3 minutes. I shower while the solution is on my shower doors which takes about 5 minutes.
- Wipe shower doors with a wet washcloth. I toss an extra washcloth into the shower with me when I plan to wash the shower doors. I let it get wet while I am showering, and it is ready to use when it is time to wipe the Dawn + Vinegar solution off the shower doors.
- Rinse shower doors with warm water.
My shower head is handheld, so I start from the top and rinse all the doors until they are crystal clear. - Wipe the doors down with a squeegee. This white Oxo squeegee is something I love and keep it in the shower just for this purpose. If you don’t wipe the doors with a squeegee, the doors will still be clean, but they won’t dry as crystal clear.
Baking soda also works to clean shower doors.
Baking soda acts as an abrasive, and combined with vinegar, can be very effective at dissolving many hard water spots and soap scum. If you want to try this method, simply saturate a sponge or cloth with vinegar, then coat it with baking soda. Use a little elbow grease to scrub until the soap scum disappears. Rinse with warm water to remove any remaining residue.
Watch me use this to clean my shower doors.
In the short video below, I mix up a solution of Dawn & vinegar and show how quick and easy it is to clean shower doors.
It really takes no scrubbing~just a tiny bit of elbow grease and a good shower head sprayer.
Note: If you do the process while showering, be prepared for a strong vinegar smell. This doesn’t really bother me at all since vinegar is natural and non-toxic.
Dawn Vinegar for Oven Door GunkWatch me use Dawn & vinegar as an oven door cleaner.
I recently discovered that Dawn & vinegar shower door solution is hugely effective at cleaning oven doors. If you have an oven, you know how the doors get covered in “gunk” made of grease. See below how effective this solution is at removing oven door gunk.
Materials
- Original (blue) Dawn
- white vinegar
- spray bottle
Tools
- funnel
- 8 cup glass measuring bowl
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups Dawn and 2 cups vinegar into a glass bowl.
- Stir; heat 4 minutes in the microwave; remove and stir again.
- Using a funnel, carefully pour the solution into the spray bottle. *
- Shake well to mix the solution. Use as needed on shower doors.
Notes
* Be careful not to burn yourself if the solution is hot.
** If Dawn is a thicker, commercial type version, use 2 parts vinegar to one part Dawn so that it won't be too thick.
What to do if your Dawn-Vinegar gets thick.
If your your Dawn vinegar solution gets thick or is difficult to spray from the bottle, there is an easy solution. First, empty your bottle that is too thick, and rinse the sprayer well with water to flush out the sprayer. Second, mix a new solution following different proportions that I share in the short video below.
So there you have it~my favorite cleaning hack for the bathroom~Dawn + Vinegar Shower Door Cleaner. I hope you try this; if so, please comment so the rest of us can hear your thoughts!!!
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

How to clean the shower enclosure from limescale
M-Bath > Articles > Shower enclosures, corners > How to clean a shower enclosureShower cabin is modern, comfortable and simply beautiful. The new cabin is pleasing to the eye, but, unfortunately, the quality of water in most cities leaves much to be desired, so the walls quickly become covered with plaque. How to convert an old booth to “like new” status?
Before you go to the store for a super effective remedy or roll up your sleeves and take on folk remedies, you should carefully examine the walls of the shower and find out what material they are made of. Why is it important? Because plastic, glass or chrome has its own characteristics and characteristics that must be preserved when cleaning.
For example, if you take an abrasive (powder, milk or paste), you will get rid of plaque and dirt, but at the same time there is a high probability of scratching glass or plastic and thereby significantly deteriorating the appearance of the cabin. If you have an acrylic pan, do not use harsh abrasives (formic acid, formaldehyde). So you just spoil the material.
In the scratches caused by the powder, which you will diligently smear and rub into the surface with a sponge, harmful bacteria will immediately settle. After some time, your shower stall will bloom with a lush, but not very pleasant color for the eye and health.
It is also important how exactly you will rub the product. Throw the brush aside, along with the sponges with an abrasive surface. These are sponges in which the other side is made of dense material. Do not be stingy and buy a cotton napkin, soft and not very thick. At first, it will be a little unusual to wipe off soap and plaque with a cloth.
But you will quickly get used to it and get used to it. Cotton does not scratch glass, plastic or chrome. And yes, it cleans up dirt quite well.
How to clean the shower cabin: "chemistry" to help
If you need a quick and effective result, you can pay attention to the industrial products, which are presented in a wide range on the shelves in stores. Sparkling surfaces in the shower will become a reality if you follow these guidelines:
- Choose products that contain fruit acids. To find out the composition, you need to carefully study the label. The closer to the top of the list the acid, the greater its concentration and the more effective the composition. At the same time, it should delicately handle the surface of the cabin walls.
- Be sure to remove the remaining foam with a special soft sponge or cloth. A quality product will leave an inconspicuous layer that protects the cabin walls from soap and lime. But the foam after drying can turn into ugly stains.
- The shower cubicle will be even prettier if you do a little trick, namely: clean the outer walls with a regular glass spray. The surface will literally shine, and the cabin will look like new.

How to clean shower glass from limescale: vinegar in service
Supporters of "green" technologies, people who are allergic to household chemicals, and simply those who care about the environment and the environment, prefer folk remedies to store chemicals. Fortunately, over the years, people have accumulated a lot of working recipes. Many, however, are time-consuming, but the excellent result is worth it.
One of the many recipes will require vinegar. One glass of acid must be diluted with water (two glasses, hot water). Pour the solution into a spray bottle (household sprayer) and apply to the cabin walls. Leave the composition for 15-20 minutes, then, to be sure, you can rub it with a cloth. Everything can be washed away.
Has the shower head become cloudy and covered with incomprehensible spots? Vinegar comes in handy again. Dilute it with water (one to one), apply to stains and dirt with a cotton rag. Wait up to 30 minutes and rinse with water. Be sure to wear protective gloves when working with vinegar and other acids.
You can't see anything at all through the walls of the shower, and is there only citric acid from all the home remedies? You have a superpower in your hands! Dissolve an ordinary store bag of acid in water (0.5 - 1 liter), apply the solution on the surfaces to be scrubbed. Wait up to 20 minutes, rinse and enjoy the shine of the cabin walls. If there is a lemon - real, live - you can rub chrome surfaces with one slice. They will shine even more.
Baking soda can also be added to citric acid. Mix four teaspoons of baking soda with a sachet of acid, apply with a tissue, wait, rinse and be surprised how quickly and effectively you did it.
Glass shower enclosures can also be cleaned with ammonia.
Dilute a tablespoon in 1 liter of cold water, apply with a cotton napkin. Leave for 20 minutes, rub with the same napkin, then rinse. Please note that ammonia has a very strong odor, you can only work with it in a room with good ventilation.
An inexpensive and effective remedy, hydrogen peroxide, will also help. Sold in pharmacies, it costs a penny. The principle of application is the same: moisten a napkin, apply on the surface, wait some time, rub a little to enhance the effect and rinse.
The wisdom of the ages will help in the fight against mold and fungus. Of course, not the first time, but still. You need to mix vinegar and ammonia in half a glass, add soda (a quarter of a glass), apply to the fungus, leave (you can for an hour) and rinse with warm water.
Shiny like new
If you follow these simple recommendations every day, your shower will delight you with brilliance and beauty for a longer time:
- Do not be lazy to wash off the foam from the walls while taking a shower.
- Wash away dirt from the most hidden corners, where, as you might mistakenly think, the water jet simply does not reach.
- Wipe the sides of the cubicle with a dry cotton cloth after showering. We understand that laziness and fatigue take their toll, but it’s better to spend a minute now than to spend a day off later, for example, on a general cleaning of the cabin.
How and with what to wash the shower cabin: industrial and folk remedies
A brand new shower stall sparkles with dazzling cleanliness - but for how long? If you do not take care of the box, the shine will fade under a layer of lime, and sometimes even very neat housewives cannot cope with streaks on the walls. For a quality result, it is important to understand how and with what to wash the shower. Let's talk about it in this article!
Shower enclosure maintenance: basic tips
Any contamination is easier to remove while it is fresh.
Make it a rule to rinse the hydrobox after a shower - first with hot water, then with cold. Spots will appear much less often! Soap flakes, shaving cream, and toothpaste dry out quickly, so splashes should be cleaned up as soon as possible.
Give your shower a deep cleaning once or twice a week. It is supposed to start with glass and wall cladding adjacent to the shower enclosure, then move on to fittings and accessories. Pallets are processed last.
Pay particular attention to hard-to-reach areas where dirt, moisture and soap residue tend to accumulate:
- corners;
- tile joints;
- rebar cuts;
- place near the drain.
To avoid breathing chemicals, do not clean the cabinet with the doors closed and do not spray sprays in the bathroom. For safety reasons, SMS is supposed to be applied to rags that are used to wipe contaminated areas. Before work, do not forget to wear gloves - household chemicals can be hazardous to the skin.
After wet cleaning, all components of the shower cabin are thoroughly wiped with a dry non-woven cloth or a soft roller. Remember that tap water contains chlorine and calcium, which form salt deposits. With increased water hardness, it does not hurt to equip the water supply with coarse and fine filters.
Constantly high humidity in the bathroom creates a favorable environment for mold growth. It is very difficult to get rid of mold - it is possible that the seal will have to be completely changed. For prevention, it is recommended to periodically treat the sealant with an antifungal spray and keep the cubicle doors ajar so that the room is ventilated. It is even better to install a forced ventilation system in the shower cabin.
How to deal with stains on the walls
Even after thorough cleaning, untidy streaks can remain in the shower stall, casting a shadow on the reputation of the hostess. We are let down by the old habit of wiping all polished surfaces with a rag, but textiles are not suitable for plastic, glass and ceramic tiles.
In addition, a rough cloth, a brush or a hard-bristled brush can scratch the pan or walls of the hydrobox and damage the anti-corrosion coating of the steel reinforcement. To keep your shower enclosure looking attractive for as long as possible, use materials and tools that do not leave marks to clean the box and remove residual moisture:
- melamine sponges;
- cuts of latex or microfiber non-woven fabric;
- steam cleaners;
- polyurethane, rubber and silicone rails and scrapers.
How to Remove Limescale, Rust and Mold: Proven Home Recipes
Nothing spoils the appearance of a shower like lime deposits, so action must be taken as soon as possible. Until the plaque sticks tightly, the problem is easy to deal with at home. To get started, try cleaning the shower cabin from limescale with a weak solution 9% vinegar or lemon juice at the rate of one tablespoon per glass of boiling water. If you feel sorry for lemons, dissolve one sachet of citric acid in the same amount of water.
You can also try to wipe the shower from mineral deposits with vodka or medical alcohol. Vodka is diluted in the ratio of one glass to one or two glasses of water, and alcohol - according to the formula 5 ml per 5 liters of water.
To enhance the effect, vinegar, vodka and lemon juice can be combined in one solution, and citric acid mixed in equal parts with soda. In its pure form, soda should not be used - scratches may remain. Hydrogen peroxide also works well with limescale.
Strong lime deposits on metal fittings are treated with more concentrated solutions:
- 250 ml of vinegar per half liter of water;
- juice of one lemon or 20-30 grams of citric acid in half a glass of water;
- half a glass of alcohol and vinegar to a glass of water.
For an ambulance in the shower after a long downtime, keep ready the quick-acting Antinakipin, which is diluted with a small amount of boiling water to a mushy consistency and quickly applied to the affected areas, preventing the mixture from cooling.
In this case, the composition should not fall on the rubberized parts of the shower box. Usually a quarter of an hour is enough to dissolve the deposits.
Hoses, faucets, hydromassage heads and holders are cleaned with a sponge soaked in the solution, and tarnished chrome elements are rubbed with a slice of lemon to restore shine. Inlet filters, watering cans, distributors and nozzles are often clogged with lime and small debris, so they have to be removed and cleaned separately. The sediment is first removed from the holes of the perforated elements with a sewing needle, and then kept for an hour in vinegar, diluted in half with water. When the precipitated salts are completely dissolved, the parts are thoroughly rinsed under running water and returned to their place.
Vinegar is good for rust. Spray the affected areas with a spray bottle, leave for half an hour, and then rinse with running water. Heavily contaminated with a rusty coating, pallets are filled with a solution to the brim and left overnight.
Small rusty spots on metal and acrylic are reduced with tooth powder or paste: apply a thin layer of the product and rinse after 10 minutes.
Glass doors and walls of hydroboxes also suffer from lime deposits: mirror and transparent railings become cloudy and dull. Ammonia in a matter of seconds will return the glass to its original appearance. Pour a tablespoon of ammonia into a liter of cold water and treat the walls with a microfiber cloth soaked in the solution - very soon there will not even be a trace of limescale left in the shower! To enhance the water-repellent properties in glass showers from limescale, ammonia with glycerin is used - from 20 to 40 ml of glycerin per liter of ammonia solution. Ammonia compounds strongly irritate the respiratory tract, therefore, when processing shower cubicles in the bathroom, a fan is turned on, and windows are opened in neighboring rooms.
If mold develops between the seams, immediately treat the problem areas with a mixture of baking soda, ammonia and vinegar.
Take half a cup of ammonia and vinegar to a quarter cup of soda, apply the mixture on the stains with a toothbrush and leave for 30-40 minutes. Our grandmothers expelled mold brown and white, taken in a ratio of 250 ml per 4 liters of boiling water. Not bad proved itself and 5-10% copper sulphate, which is found in every summer resident. A tablespoon of vitriol is diluted with a liter of water and applied to the lesions, allowed to dry and the procedure is repeated at least three times.
Black mold is also affected by some natural remedies that should be completely absorbed into the material:
- tea tree oil - two teaspoons per 400 ml of water;
- white vinegar - used undiluted;
- grapefruit seed extract - 20 drops per 400 ml of water.
How to wash shower cabins: choosing household chemicals
For cleaning in showers, liquid SMS, sprays, pastes and emulsions are suitable, which do not contain abrasive particles, pigments and solvents such as alkalis, formaldehydes and formic acid.
Powders should be avoided: even if they are positioned as universal, they still contain abrasives. Tempered glass is acid tolerant but may darken after contact with concentrated solutions.
Plastic shower boxes do not tolerate acetone, gasoline or ammonia, and for naughty acrylic shower trays, you will need special products designed specifically for acrylic - for example, Triton or Acrylic Cleaner. Also, acrylic trays can be treated with silverware polishes, which are sold in jewelry stores.
Enameled trays are much easier to maintain. Unlike acrylic and other plastics, enamel does not contain micropores into which dirt, moisture and dyes get into, calmly endures one-time contact with abrasives and does not impose special requirements on the choice of care products.
Finely polished porcelain stoneware shower trays are dirt-repellent but still take care of themselves. Periodically wipe the pallet from the outside and inside, and if the dirt cannot be removed, use an industrial compound to care for artificial stone products - for example, Mellerud.
If you notice fingerprints, splash marks or thin deposits on the shower enclosure, remove it with any dish detergent. Common liquids and emulsions for windows, such as Tilex, Acrylan, Sanelite, Cif and Mr Muscle, qualitatively wash the shower glass from fresh stains.
Commercial shower gels, liquids and creams can also be used during routine cleaning to quickly remove week-old stains. Reagents are applied for 10-15 minutes, then carefully removed with a scraper and rinsed with warm water. Strong pastes are used to remove stubborn soap suds, rust and calcined sediment, extending the exposure time to 15-20 minutes.
How to clean metal fittings?
Metal fittings and shower accessories also need periodic cleaning and anti-corrosion treatment. Steel faucets, hoses, watering cans, brackets and door hinges are often coated with plaque, but if the steel is coated with a nickel-chromium coating, it is impossible to scrape the shower equipment with abrasives, otherwise you will violate the integrity of the coating and leave the fittings defenseless against corrosion.
