Whether made of plastic or glass - the shower walls are very susceptible to limescale.

We will show you how you can easily clean the shower cubicle with home remedies.

Hardly anyone is

spared

limescale deposits

and

soiling of

the shower cubicle.

Regular cleaning of the plastic or glass walls is therefore a top priority.

We'll show you which home remedies you can use to clean.

Cleaning the shower cubicle: This is how you avoid limescale and other dirt

First of all, it is important to ensure that limescale and other contaminants such as soap scum don't get a chance to stick to the shower cubicle.

That is why you should

consistently clean the walls with a rubber squeegee

every time

after you shower

and then rub the glass or plastic dry with a dry cloth.

This way you nip the cause of lime in the bud.

Cleaning the shower cubicle: This is how you benefit from the lotus effect

The lotus effect describes the low wettability of a surface by water.

That means: water does not adhere well to the shower cubicle and runs off.

This effect can also be created on the shower walls by rubbing them with car polish, the open half of a split potato, or any other agent that repels rain.

You can also use this trick on the outside of the shower cubicle, as recommended by the online portal haushaltstipps.de.

If you want to save even more work, you can buy doors and walls for your shower that are made of

self-cleaning glass

.

How to clean shower stalls made of glass - with home remedies

We have a few tips for you to

ensure that your beautiful shower walls made of uncoated glass continue to remain

streak-free and without limescale

.

Because ugly deposits can be removed very well with simple home remedies.

On the one hand, you can

mix

water with a dash of commercially available

fabric softener

and

pour

the mix onto the windows of the shower cubicle.

Polish the glass with a damp microfiber cloth and then dry it with kitchen paper.

This not only makes the shower clean, but also gives off a pleasant scent.

The trick with vinegar works similarly: Pour

vinegar

 into a bowl and add twice the amount of water.

Then clean the panes with the mixture and rinse it off with cold water.

But watch out

: acetic acid is quite aggressive and could attack the rubber seals on the cabin.

So either keep your distance from them or use lemon water as an alternative.

Simply put a

dash of lemon in a bowl of water

and use it like the vinegar mixture. 

Rinse aid

ensures a

shiny glass

not only in the dishwasher, but also in the shower cubicle

.

Simply rub it into the stains on the shower wall, let it take effect and then rinse the surface off with cold water.

Cleaning shower stalls with plastic walls: this is how it works

Although shower stalls made of glass are often easier to clean and look more elegant, many consumers prefer to use plastic walls and doors.

This is mainly due to the lower prices.

Nevertheless, there are ways to effectively clean plastic cabins.

First of all, you can

try

all the

home remedies tips

that have already been mentioned above.

If these don't work, you will likely need to get cleaners from the drugstore.

For example, use a

mild vinegar cleaner or plastic cleaner

to remove light deposits on the shower cubicle.

But

soft soap

should also work very well.

Apply one of the mentioned agents with a damp sponge or cotton cloth and rub the whole thing carefully.

If the stains are more stubborn, you can still reach for

toothpaste

and use it to thoroughly clean the shower.

If you are struggling with mold in the shower cubicle, the following home remedies may help you:

    : Put it in a spray bottle or on a cloth and rub it on the areas affected by the mold.

    It is best to wear gloves and a face mask.

  • Alcohol or spirit

    : Use at least 70 percent alcohol to combat mold.

    Proceed as you did with the vinegar.

  • Yeast

    : Rub the mold in the joints with yeast dissolved in water - use a toothbrush - and let it work for ten minutes.

Cleaning sliding doors: With these means you will get clean

In addition to the glass or ceramic components of a shower cubicle, the sliding doors are often attached with aluminum rails.

These are also affected by lime or other deposits.

The Inwerk Bad & Spa website has a few tips for this: If you are dealing with polished

aluminum

rails

or aluminum

profiles

without paint,

a vinegar or lemon

cleaner

is often sufficient, which you rub on the affected areas with a damp cloth.

If your aluminum

rails are colored, powder-coated or varnished

, a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid is usually sufficient for cleaning.

For more stubborn dirt, use a diluted car polish, which you rub carefully with a warm, damp cloth.

You should not use more than a damp cloth

for aluminum rails that are

anodized

- i.e. sealed to be particularly scratch-resistant.

Otherwise you can put a little soft soap on the cloth.
