Shower door help...

Lady in my office told me to use ZEP Tub and Tile.
I've never looked back since

soap scum buildup on glass shower doors

Now, now... you know your little swimmers would appreciate you finding a different name for them.

I have bad etching on my shower door. I started using OO steel wool with a little water. It cleared up the glass but it was a lot of work. After cleaning it you should probably put Rain X on it.

Monkey butt, I wish I had that type of range and pattern..

Redbeer, that's the plan but I first need to get this crap off! After removal I plan to use rain x shower and squeegee after each use.

Kaboom. Spray on, wipe off, zero problems.

Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda in a container and pour in white distilled vinegar until it forms a paste with the baking soda. Put the paste on the shower door and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse the shower door with warm water. Hard water stains should be gone. Some rainX on the shower door glass will reduce water stains.

Spray the door/glass with Pam or any other cooking spray. Let sit for 5 mins. wipe off with warm soapy water. Works like a charm.

Bar Keepers Friend does work... but you have to scrub the crap out of it.

If the issue is soap scum, any bathroom cleaner will work fine...

If the issue is hard water scale or lime, CLR will remove it (but may asphixiate you in the process)....

If the glass is etched, like mine was, there is nothing to do but replace it.

I tried numerous over the counter and homemade concoctions. Here is my advice.

1 - Get a new door.

2 - Apply Rain X on new door (and reapply every 4-6 months).

3 - Squeegee after each use.
