3 Cheap And Easy Ways To Keep Your Shower Enclosure Clean

Posted on

Shower enclosures are notoriously difficult to keep clean, especially if you have a hard water supply, which can leave mineral deposits, soap scum, and stains on the walls and doors of your shower. And the more you put off cleaning your shower, the more difficult it's going to be to get to looking sparkling clean when the time finally comes. Fortunately, there are a few cheap and easy ways to keep your shower clean week after week.

Use an Exfoliating Glove

Check your local dollar store for pairs of exfoliating gloves. These gloves are meant to be used for exfoliating skin, but can also work wonders when it comes to scrubbing a shower enclosure clean. Unlike a sponge, an exfoliating glove can reach most of those tiny crevices. Plus, if you can find them at your local dollar store, they'll cost you a lot less than the sponges and rags you've been buying to clean your shower enclosure in the past. Use them with your favorite shower cleaner, but be sure to protect your hands by wearing a pair of rubber gloves underneath.

Purchase an Automatic Cleaner

Another relatively inexpensive option for keeping your shower clean day after day is to purchase an automatic shower cleaner. Typically, these are devices that can be hung from a shower head and that will spray a special cleanser around the shower enclosure. In most cases, you simply press a button on the shower cleaner as you step out of the shower, and the cleaning process will start up shortly after that. With one of these, you may never have to clean your shower manually again!

Keep a Squeegee in the Shower

Finally, if you live in an area that has hard water, then keeping a squeegee in your shower and using it after you shut the water off each time can make a huge difference, especially if you have glass or fiberglass doors that are prone to mineral buildup. By removing most of the excess water, you can greatly reduce the chances of buildup forming. You can even buy a squeegee with a built-in suction cup to keep on your shower wall so you won't forget to squeegee the excess water off as you get out.

Keeping your shower enclosure clean doesn't need to cost a fortune or require a great deal of time on your part, so be sure to keep these tips in mind.
