Use Furniture Spray To Keep Shower Clean

After years of trying every product advertised, buying from those companies who make big promises and cost 3x as much money, even asking a building janitorial company, I still couldn't find a way to keep the shower clean and mildew free without scrubbing doors, walls, even liners (for the times I didn't have glass doors). Nothing worked well except for me scrubbing every week to get rid of build up, water spots, soap build up, or just scum

Having lived from midwest, the south and all over CA, it's a different problem depending on where you live. A problem, no doubt, and a never ending job. Going through a car wash on the way home, I came up with the most time saving solution. It started raining and I watched as the rain beaded on the car. The car was cleaned and sprayed with a wax. Which is exactly what I did with my bathroom problem. It's that easy, too.

Starting with a clean area, whether it be the doors, walls or even the shower liner, always start with a clean surface. Then go over it with furniture spray, even kitchen oil works. You can use car wax, but I have found it's too much energy when the regular citrus furniture spray I use elsewhere is so easy to apply. I found myself out once and that is when I discovered that cooking oil worked fine too.

I spray and wipe. It dries clear and nothing sticks to it or builds up. I never have had to scrub mildew or soap scum since I have used this. Reapply whenever you deep clean. If you do a regular once a week cleaning, you finish with the oil/wax. EASY! Take the extra time you used to use scrubbing and enjoy something you would rather be doing.

That is one of the best solutions I've heard in a long, long, time. Mildew and hard water are two of the reasons I took my shower doors off and put up a shower curtain. It was just easier to take the curtain down and throw it in the washer with the towels. I'll be using this tip ASAP. I have to share it with my mother-in-law too.

We have had many discussions about that very subject. I've gotten to where I keep a pot scrubber in my shower. When I get done with my shower I use my foot to move the scrubber around to get rid of soap residue. With this wax tip, I'll never have that mess again. Thanks!

Just be careful not to get it on th floor of the tub! It could make it slick.

Thanks for the info. But one question in the last paragraph you say you spray it on and it dried and the you wiped it off. Are you speaking of the citris furniture polish or the cooking oil.
