There is nothing quite like the frustration of looking at your freshly wiped shower screen, only to see those same cloudy, chalky streaks staring back at you. Hard water stains and soap scum are incredibly stubborn, but you do not need harsh chemicals to get rid of them permanently.
Here are our top domestic cleaning secrets to restore that sparkling, crystal-clear finish.
The Power of Vinegar and Washing-Up Liquid
The secret to breaking down the calcium and magnesium in hard water is a mild acid combined with a strong degreaser.
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and Fairy Liquid (or any good quality washing-up liquid) in a spray bottle.
- Spray the solution generously over the glass and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes so the acid can dissolve the mineral bonds.
- Scrub gently with a non-scratch sponge and rinse with warm water.
Prevention is the Ultimate Cure
Once your glass is pristine, keep it that way by keeping a squeegee in the shower. Spending just 30 seconds wiping down the glass after every use prevents water from evaporating and leaving minerals behind.
