In summer, the shower cubicle is used a lot as we wash ourselves several times a day to freshen up.
Therefore, it seems like he never cleaned it and always finds a patina of lime or dirt on the tiles, glass, taps and plate.
But no fear! Today we will see together how to always keep the shower clean, even if you use it every day!
What will you discover?
floor tiles
Once you have used the shower, we recommend that you start by cleaning the tiles, which often tend to become opaque due to limescale and moisture .
Therefore, we recommend that you always dry them thoroughly and not leave them wet. However, for polishing you can use half a lemon and rub it directly over the tiles like a natural sponge .
Then let it take effect briefly, then rinse with a sponge and dry carefully with a microfiber cloth. Your tiles will be clean and shiny in minutes!
Note: If the tiles are made of marble or natural stone, we recommend that you do not use lemon as it could cause corrosion.
Shower head and mixer tap
The shower head and faucet are usually made of steel and we are aware that this material, however beautiful, tends to become opaque and form water and limestone stains if not dried thoroughly.
In this case too, we recommend that you wipe with a dry cloth after showering to prevent it from getting wet. However, for an even more effective and complete cleaning, you can put a little vinegar on a sponge and then rub it over these components: they will shine as if they were new!
Then, if the shower head has clogged filters and the water is not flowing well, you can try the pocket trick . All you have to do is fill a fairly sturdy plastic bag with white vinegar and add two tablespoons of baking soda .
Next, immerse the shower head in the bag and tie the bag closed with a knot or elastic band. Finally , let the shower head soak overnight and the next day you will notice that the holes in the shower head are free of limescale and the water jet is restored!
Note: We recommend that you try the pocket trick once a month to ensure that limescale does not build up in the holes.
shower tray
Have you already cleaned the tiles, shower head and faucet? Now it’s time to move on to cleaning the shower tray, where the water, the products used for shampooing and showering, the hair, etc. will be “collected”. And it is not uncommon for us to find limescale or mold spots in the corners that are caused by constant contact with water.
For this reason, we first recommend that you always dry the shower tray thoroughly and always have a product on hand that can be used to clean it quickly.
To do this, mix 300 ml of white vinegar, 3 tablespoons of bicarbonate and the juice of two lemons in a spray bottle and then shake the bottle vigorously to mix everything together.
Then spray this mixture onto the shower base every time you use it and let it sit for a while. Finally, scrub gently with a sponge and rinse! This mixture can also prevent black mold spots in the corners of the shower !
And if your shower has mold stains in the corners, here’s a video to show you how to remove them!
