How To Clean Glass Shower Doors Like A Pro

[@aznargo]

I've just discovered this channel and have learned so much after only a few videos. Truly fantastic, thank you for your wonderful insight. Now to clean my shower!

[@JesseW-gg7so]

1) I skipped right to the third method because I’ve tried so many different things, 1 and 2 wouldn’t have worked 2) Steel wooled once, worked but still have some minor spot 3) Power drill scrub brush, cleared it all up 4) It WORKED!!! 5) Thank you 6) I subscribed to you channel today

[@melissamundle456]

I hate glass shower doors and the glass is not the worst part.The tracks where the doors slide collect all sorts of gunk and you need a little brush to get in there and scrub it out. I would rather have a regular tub with a shower curtain way easier to maintain and less scrubbing

[@ladyloops3204]

True , I agree , but they look nicer

[@allimimi]

So true! I cleaned my glass shower doors and the tracks were awful. Clean now, but gross before, lol.

[@melissashimmer]

I highly recommend other type of tempered glass doors: look for a fixed glass panel with a hinged or pivot glass door.

[@marisawood721]

I agree

[@gardeniagirl1374]

Try using an old toothbrush on the tracks. It's small enough to get into the crevices.

[@shar7508]

Omgosh FINALLY! Giving multiple options if the other options don’t work! And straight to the point! THANK YOUUUU !!!!

[@dwayne9239]

Thanks so much for this video. Until I read and tried your techniques, I couldn't get my shower door clean. I ordered the products and now all looks good. I really appreciate your help.

[@Tedrico80]

The first DIY method worked wonders for me and the dirty level was a 10!

[@DONNAASAURR]

I have been commenting too much on your videos sorry. Lol. I just love how these simple cleaning is what we do at home everyday. It helps us save money. Watching these type of videos help us - soon to be cleaning business owners feel so much better! Omgoodness, the Rain X part, why have I not thought about that! Such a good idea.

[@jwhitty14]

I just wet my glass doors with water and wiped with a dryer sheet like Bounce then rinsed with water and wiped them dry with a cloth, it worked excellent.

[@erikaanderson4528]

Thank you so much! I tried the first option. My shower doors looked somewhat better, but I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the results. So, I tried the second option - Bar Keepers Friend. I already had the powdered version at home. So, I figured I’d try that with my blue non scratch sponge. It worked! My shower doors look as good as the day they were installed!

[@aliciadupuy9228]

Great tips for cleaning. Heres whst i did to help prevent the buildup. Putting in a filter shower head, and squeegee-ing the glass after each shower hss helped reduse residue dramatically. I also wipe some rain-x on the interior glass. In short... i actually clean my shower 1 a year. Lol.

[@karenschmoutz6785]

Wish you would show how to clean the metal frames and tracks on older, non-clear shower doors. This was a good video!

[@marlan5470]

Carefully. Some of them have sharp edges.

[@ashypofa8654]

Use a brush and a water bottle spray

[@siddharthrawat7205]

This works like a charm. In addition to this I also rubbed some baking soda on the glass surface. Give it 5-10 then rinse with hot water. Cheers

[@ladyloops3204]

Thank you, didn’t know there was a barkeepers friend liquid form

[@mihai72003]

Works like a charm! Never buying a Mr. Proper.... Works way better with a fraction of the cost. Thx!

[@ramongomez2621]

Thank you so much for this! I don't think the previous owners of my home ever cleaned these doors, and if my doors weren't a 10-level mess, they were pretty darn close. This video make the clean-up process a cinch.

[@AtomicBl453]

i never thought about using rainx before, thanks for the advice dude!

[@DylansPen]

In the auto painting industry 0000, or four aught, steel wool is what we used to perfectly clean car glass all the way around the car after painting to make sure the windows were spotless. It has to be 0000.

[@ocny4468]

One caution: Don't use anything with an acid on real marble. I have real marble tiles on the floor of my shower and keep it nice using just Dawn liquid (the tiles have been sealed) but would never use vinegar or any other acidic cleaner on it. I have glass shower doors too and they're easy to keep clean if you just squeegee them after showering. For any buildup, Dawn and a Mr Clean Magic Eraser will do the job nicely without any nasty chemicals.

[@bzflowerbee]

My glass door in shower is temper glass, my husband won't let me use chemicals. 😢

[@MariahBenson-j4t]

Any other cleaning tips??

[@neilpickup237]

You also need to take care with other materials. For example, limestone which can be polished and used as tiles.

[@CindySvendsen]

Thanks for giving different options for the different degree and being straight on the point

[@kylethomas3477]

Literally tried this earlier today and IT WORKS!!! So glad I found this video!!

[@TheHansoost]

I use a bi of Nu-Finish car polish on a damp microfibre cloth. I wipe it on, let it dry and use a clean microfibre towel to remove the film. Works like a charm.

[@lisanetgark415]

We also use steamers. The steamer for the floors, my unit, will break apart to a hand carry unit. We steam the tile and glass. It does melt off the soap scum and helps loosen the buildup. When it is really bad a double whammy instead of just elbow grease, helps out a lot. Same with toilets. Hot water in the bowl to scrub the bowl, empty the bowl and then steam under the rim along with the water line. Oxiclean in the tank to soak then flush! Keeps that pup sparkling!!

[@BlessedVivi]

Which steamer do you recommend

[@Elizabeth-490]

Tell us more about oxyclean in the tank. I’ve never heArd of doing this before

[@OldFordTaurus]

What steamer do you have

[@LisaSue62]

So excited that you use the scrub daddy! I’ve used it from the first day it was introduced on QVC. Now they are available everywhere. Cleaning my class doors now. Thanks for the tips!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thats awesome! I absolutely love them and they work so well. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ShelterDogs]

It's funny, I was the opposite. Didn't trust it from the QVC/Shark Tank days. Now I'm convinced. A little late to it, I guess. I will have to buy the set of 3 in the link.

[@Lee-hi2si]

I love how you just get right to it

[@rubywingo6030]

I use mixture half water half vinegar and fabric softener sheets. I spray on then wipe off with the fabric sheet and rinse. Sounds crazy but it works!

[@lukei6255]

Thank you! Love the options. No unnecessary blah blah blah. 👍

[@CleanThatUp]

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

[@NYCAppl3]

Rain - X! So clever 🙌🏾

[@cherihibbs8368]

I have really hard water and I’m not into doing a lot of scrubbing. I use Lime-Away gel spray. The gel is great at sticking to the glass and not running off like water. Let it soak on there for 30 minutes then scrub off with scrub daddy. Rain x works well but sometimes gets smeary when using glass cleaner.

[@rhondahulett9763]

Isn't it really bad for you to be inhaling Lime-Away? Do you wear a mask?

[@elkjihane]

Thank you so so so much, it works perfectly, my glass shower door was a disaster so I used the third method using 0000 x water ,vinegar, and dishes soap and now it's brand new.❤❤❤❤

Dude, thank u for your upbeat, concise n friendly guidance - l shall conquer my shower glass today ! 😅

[@granjmy]

Steel wool grade 0000 works perfectly on vintage stainless steel, like a toaster or a toaster oven. Removes that stubborn hardened brown grease without scratching. I have both of these appliances, and steel wool makes them shine. Ammonia is great for fingerprints, too.

[@kkerr1953]

Thanks! I have a toaster oven that has this exact problem, and I haven’t been able to find anything to clean it with because it says don’t use oven cleaner (because it’s aluminum). I will be getting some of the 0000 stainless steel and trying it out

[@granjmy]

@@kkerr1953 I don't know if steel wool will work on aluminum without scratching, K Kerr. Mine are stainless steel- that bright chrome color. Maybe try on the under side first?

[@GlennLaycock]

wow rainex, would not have thought of that - I remember "waxing sinks" when I must have just had too much pride or time. my recent tip has been to use a car grade (it absorbs well with "good wringing out volume" microfiber, I leave it in the shower as you want it soaking wet by the end. I wring it out .. go over the main we areas until it is full of water, wring it and do the final once over .. wring and hang.

[@gkirms]

If anyone still can't get those troublesome hard water spots out (Like on my Shower Doors) as suggested in this video use Steel Wool Grade 0000. This was suggested also as a last resort but with the doors wet. I tried everything in this video and nothing worked. When I used the steel wool, dry, on the doors, also dry, that took the stubborn spots out. A lot of scrubbing with the steel wool but the spots all came out and no damage to the glass. After that I used a spray on car wax to put some repellent on the doors to try and avoid those spots from building up again.

[@jerrikaytv]

I will try this, I did all the steps in the video and still have hard water spots. I live it Florida, it's a night mare. We had a soft water system put in years ago, but when it went out, we didn't replace it. I'm seriously thinking of doing so.

[@gkirms]

@@jerrikaytv Since doing the initial cleanse to get all the spots off I've managed to keep them off. Typically after a shower the best thing thing to do is squeegee the doors but even I don't do that every day. I will do it on the weekend when I have more time. I've used the steel wool a couple of more times if some spots reform but it's been nothing like the spots I had. Also, I have a spray bottle set up with water and some Jet Dri liquid mixed in. Spray that on the glass and then squeegee it clean to help repel the water spots. As of now my glass doors are still clean and spotless.

[@jerrikaytv]

thank you . . . it's my son's shower, not mine . . . LOL! I will try the Jet Dry as well.@@gkirms

[@vivdoolan6846]

Im a professional cleaner and i use a metal pan scrubber on chrome and glass and it does an amazing job makes everything shine without any scratches gets rid of the hard water so quick.

[@mcsmama]

Hi @vivdoolan6846 What SPECIFICALLY IS a metal pan scrubber, if I may ask, please? I'm not being flippant, I truly want to know to what you are referring here... nothing comes to mind that I could say, "oh yeah, THAT's what I need to lay my hands on"! If there is a brand or a specific description you can give, I would really appreciate it! For instance, is that a type of scraper tool, or some kind of cleaning spray, or cleaning liquid, or what???

[@penelopelgoss2520]

I use quad aught steel wool with straight Lime-a-way. I use paper towels saturated with the Lime-a-way spray. Leave the saturated paper towels on the glass going back to spray if need be. Then peel from top to bottom scouring with the quad aught steel wool - Wax-on, Wax-off - circles, vertical and horizontal, then diagonal back to circular. I only do this on the nastiest of nasty glass, such as windows where exterior sprinklers have sprayed for years and years. Don't laugh as you know who you are and it's me who's helped you! This works on windshields, too!

[@RiverDanube]

Great ideas. When using sprays other than water, let them sit for a while. Spray, spread it on and continue to clean another area of the bathroom. When you come back to the sprayed area it won't need half as much scrubbing.

[@CleanThatUp]

dwell time is key!

[@ShiitakeSays]

I am so excited! You rock!!!

[@vwbustube]

Pro tips: 1) Magic erasers won't scratch glass. 2)Add 5% alcohol to your mix for better soap scum remover in addition to mineral removal.

Cheap vodka works well too and it prevents streaking.

I worked with Merry Maids a very long time ago and we used SOS pads and they were pretty good also I remember a time when one of the girls didn't want to scrub the tub because it was REALLY BAD she said I'm gonna use something it was her secret she put Oven off and that stuff in the shower tub literally melted off without having to scrub anything I mean I couldn't believe it. It was like a brand new tub and shower

[@elenaterzulli]

I have a bathtub with an incorporated shower. The doors are rounded and they’re not made of glass but of an acrylic material. They are even worse. I follow you from Italy 🇮🇹.

Skip straight to option 3! Redid it 2-3 times but results are amazing. Btw I used powdered bar keepers friend mixed with some water. Thanks!

There is a glass treatment called Enduro Sheild. If you treat your shower glass with that, no more hard water spots. It is designed for pool glass surrounds, but is miraculous on showers.

Scraper blade for the glass, brush for the grooves and other little corners. If the silicone is black and doesn't wash off, then remove silicone and apply new. You can try peroxide before doing that, if you'd like. After each use, use the squeegee and wipe with a dry old cloth to avoid build-up.

[@ianmontgomery7534]

If the first method doesn't work I use a mix of Isopropyl Alcohol (Isopropanol) and dishwashing liquid. I would use a nylon scourer rather than a steel one. the same mix is excellent for cleaning grout between tiles -use an old toothbrush to scrub it. i use Rain-X too!

[@matthieub3626]

Thanks ! I will try the bar keeper friend but i wonder. Is making a paste with the powder will have the same effect or the spray have different ingredient specificaly made for glass ?

I wish you could elaborate more on the "wipe down with a microfiber" part. I cannot seem to get the glass perfectly clear and streak free no matter how I wipe it or with what cloth.

Hi Brandon, thanks for informative videos and for being so enjoyable to watch! I’ve been told that using daily shower cleaner sprays is somehow damaging to the glass. Is this true?

[@CleanThatUp]

Hmm that’s a good question. Personally I have never heard anything like that. Do you know what cleaner it is? I’d love to look into this. My concern would be more that if the cleaner isn’t rinsed it could start to dry sticky and attract dirt and grime.

[@verita-e-amore]

@@CleanThatUp Hi Brandon, sorry it took a minute but I did some research. I found that the coating on some shower glass, like Eduro Shield, can be harmed by certain caustic chemicals. They warn against sodium hypochlorite, bleach, and sodium hydroxide (lye.) They also specifically mentioned Tilex but I checked the ingredients in the daily spray, specifically, and it didn’t have these. I checked other brands and only found sodium hydroxide in the up & up daily spray from Target. On a whim, I checked the ingredients in Dawn and found sodium hydroxide. I do like to use the homemade cleaner with Dawn/vinegar, so I’ll have to be careful not to get it on my coated doors. I know for sure the glass in my master bath is coated but not sure about the rest. BTW, the Enduro Shield website also recommends a Magic Eraser and microfiber cloths but says to stay away from Norwex on the doors. Unfortunately, I’ve used Norwex cloths on mine. 🤦‍♀️
