Step 1: Clear the Shower Area

Before you begin cleaning, take a few minutes to clear any personal items from the shower, such as bottles, razors, and shower mats. This will give you more space to work and prevent cleaning around obstacles.

Step 2: Create a Baking Soda Paste

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with just enough water to create a thick paste (about 2-3 tablespoons of water should be sufficient). If you like, you can also add a few drops of dish soap to the paste for extra cleaning power.
Apply the paste directly onto the areas that need attention, such as the tiles, grout lines, and shower walls. Focus on areas with soap scum, stains, or mineral buildup. If your shower door has buildup, you can apply the paste to the glass as well.

Step 3: Spray with Vinegar

Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray it generously over the areas covered with the baking soda paste. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzy, bubbling action that helps lift grime and stains.
Let the vinegar and baking soda solution sit for about 5-10 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to work their magic and break down the buildup.

Step 4: Scrub Away the Grime

After the solution has had a chance to fizz, take a scrub brush or sponge and begin scrubbing the shower walls, tiles, and grout lines. The mild abrasiveness of the baking soda will gently scrub away soap scum and dirt, while the vinegar helps to dissolve stubborn mineral deposits.
For extra stubborn spots, use a small toothbrush to scrub the grout lines or any corners where buildup tends to accumulate.

Step 5: Rinse Thoroughly

Once you’ve scrubbed the entire shower, rinse all surfaces thoroughly with warm water. This will remove any remaining baking soda and vinegar residue, as well as the grime that was loosened during scrubbing.
If you notice any spots or streaks on your shower doors or tiles, give them a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth to get everything shiny and clean.

Step 6: Dry and Buff

To prevent water spots and streaks, it’s a good idea to dry off the surfaces with a clean microfiber cloth or towel. This will leave your shower gleaming and help prevent new soap scum from forming.

Additional Tips for Maintaining a Clean Shower

To keep your shower looking its best with minimal effort, here are a few additional tips:

Regular Maintenance: Instead of waiting until soap scum and grime build up, try wiping down your shower walls and doors after each use. A quick spray with a vinegar-water solution (half and half) can help prevent stains and buildup. A squeegee is also handy for wiping down glass shower doors.
Use a Daily Shower Spray: You can make your own daily shower spray using vinegar and water to prevent soap scum buildup. Simply mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spritz it on the shower walls after every use.
Ventilation is Key: Make sure to run the bathroom fan or open a window during and after showers to prevent moisture buildup. Excess moisture can contribute to mold and mildew, which can make cleaning much harder.
Deep Clean Monthly: While daily maintenance will keep your shower looking good, doing a deep clean once a month will help tackle any buildup that may have been missed during regular cleaning. Use the baking soda and vinegar method for a thorough scrub.
