What have you tried ?


Vinegar ?
Lemon juice ?
Ammonia ?

I like using magic erasers for cleaning soap scum from shower glass


For final glass cleaning I use Stoner's invisible glass available

at any Walmart in the auto section with micro fiber towels

I've found using Orange Goop and rub it in with your hands in a circler motion (don't use gloves). it works great!

I mix some dawn soap into water/vinegar mix. It helps it stay on a little longer to soak in. When it gets bad I use a (new) toilet brush on the end of a power drill.

Hard water stains are basically mineral deposits, so any kind of acid should work. To keep contact instead of the acid running down the door, you can try using it and leveling it outside or something. Make sure to protect the door and hardware though.

Depending on the water and other stuff, you might also have glass etching instead of stains. That's when silicates in the way have combined with the minerals in a way that pits the glass. If that's the case, you'd have to polish it out.

I use one of the cheap, little "hard" sponges and pour some CLR on it. Takes it right off.

Had a cleaning lady make our look new using toilet bowl cleaner. We're so impressed we asked how she did it.

Have to be careful with it, as it can do damage.

Water can also eventually etch the glass.

Be careful with what you scrub with. Easy to scratch glass..... Don't ask how I know....

Bar Keepers Friend works well, but vinegar and a light scrubber should work too

Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

I use wet & forget shower cleaner.

When first starting (if you aren't starting from clean), spray it daily for 3 or 4 days and then wipe with a rag to get anything left over.

For maintenance, spraying once a week works. Works for us anyway.

Eff that daily squeegee mess.

RainX shower door cleaner. Works great. They also have a preventative product you can use. But I used this stuff to make our shower door look new before we listed our house for sale this spring.

Bar Keepers Friend on a sponge every few weeks. The key is to not let it get away from you.

Last one out of the shower EVERY TIME dries off the glass. Take 30 seconds and wipe it down.

Scrub daddy and one of the bar keepers friend in a spray bottle.

Like others have said, get a squeegee and use it after showering.

CLR works well on hard water deposits.
