Keeping your shower clean is essential to prevent the accumulation of dirt and harmful bacteria. While you can opt for commercial cleaning products, there are alternatives that are just as effective, if not more so, with fewer chemical ingredients. For example, Melissa Maker, a cleaning expert and founder of Clean My Space, advises using a mixture of dishwashing detergent and white vinegar, as quoted on Martha Stewart’s website.
“It’s a great way to get rid of water stains and accumulated soap scum,” she explains. Want to give it a try? Just follow the expert’s simple instructions.
How to Make the Cleaning Mixture
Start by measuring out equal parts white vinegar and dishwashing detergent. Put both in a spray bottle and close tightly. Make circular movements with the bottle to mix the ingredients. Try not to shake it to avoid bubbles.
Cleaning the Shower
Once mixed, spray the solution over the shower and wipe it off. In addition to these tips, the expert recommends that you “heat the white vinegar in the microwave” before putting it in the bottle. It’s a simple step that “helps the dishwashing detergent dissolve more easily.”
By using this natural cleaning solution, you can keep your shower sparkling clean without relying on harsh chemicals. Give it a try and enjoy the fresh, clean results!
