How to clean a shower? 5 tips for a hygienic shower cubicle

Causes of limescale and mould

Are you looking for a clean shower cubicle? During showering, damp and skin grease enter the shower cubicle. Soap residues also build up on the walls of the shower cubicle. Limescale in your shower cubicle is formed as water drops evaporate or dry in the air. It is important to clean your shower cubicle with the right products to prevent limescale and mould. The bathroom looks fresh and your shower cubicle lasts longer.

Cleaning a shower: 4 tips

Everyone knows the problem: the bathroom has been cleaned and the next day the limescale reappears. Various tips are shared on the internet. HG selected a random number of tips that could help to prevent limescale in your shower. Clean your shower cubicle quickly? Use HG bathroom cleaner all surfaces.

1. Ventilate your bathroom

Do you have mechanical ventilation or a waste heat recovery unit? Put the switch on the highest setting during showering and cleaning. Leave it on this setting for at least 15 minutes after showering or cleaning. It is also recommended to open the bathroom door to air it properly. 

2. Dry your shower cubicle

The best maintenance for your shower cubicle is to rinse the shower cubicle, the showerhead, and the tap with cold water as quickly as possible after every shower. Then use a squeegee to dry to the walls. Then wipe off the showerhead and tap with a dry cloth or towel. 

3. Use a tumble-dryer sheet

A golden tip is to use a tumble-dryer sheet. The ingredients in the sheet soften all deposits. This makes it even easier to remove all soap residues and water drops. Use a microfibre cloth to clean the glass shower door effectively.

4. Clean with cleaning vinegar

Vinegar kills bacteria and mould and helps to dissolve limescale at the same time. If necessary, you can use a steel sponge to remove the limescale (nb: not on glass or other surfaces that are prone to scratching). Then rinse everything off with the showerhead. 

If the water does not run away after use? Use HG bathroom cleaner all surfaces.
