Step by Step: How to Properly Clean a Shower Cabin

Introduction

How to Clean a Shower Cabin: Step by Step

• Preparing Cleaning Tools and Agents
  Before starting cleaning, prepare all the necessary tools and cleaning agents. More on this later in the text.
• Cleaning the Cabin's Surface
  Start by focusing on cleaning the cabin's surface. Apply a cleaning liquid to a soft brush or sponge and thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the cabin, including the walls, doors, base, and panels. Remember to focus especially on areas where deposits are most visible.
• Removing Limescale Deposits
  If your shower cabin has limescale deposits, use special cleaning agents designed to remove limescale. You can also use a homemade solution like vinegar. Apply the agent to a sponge or soft brush and wipe the areas with limescale deposits. Then rinse thoroughly with water. Sometimes you need to wait a bit before rinsing to let the product work effectively.
• Removing Mold
  Mold is a fungus and, like all fungi, it likes environments with high humidity. If you notice mold in the shower cabin, it is important to remove it immediately. Use a cleaning agent designed to remove mold. Apply it to a sponge or brush and thoroughly wipe the areas with mold. Make sure to reach hard-to-access places, such as gaps between tiles. Then rinse thoroughly with water. Here, vinegar can also be a helpful ally in the fight against mold, as it has been used for years as an effective weapon.
• Removing Soap Scum
  Soap scum is another common problem in shower cabins. To remove it, use a shower cabin cleaning liquid or a special agent for removing soap scum. Apply it to a sponge or brush and wipe the surfaces with deposits. Then rinse thoroughly with water.
• Rinsing and Drying
  After thoroughly wiping the shower cabin, rinse it abundantly with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residues. Then dry the cabin's surfaces thoroughly with a towel or sponge. Make sure the cabin is dry to prevent moisture accumulation and the formation of new deposits.

What to Use for Cleaning the Shower Cabin?

Chemicals:

• Shower Cabin Cleaning Liquids: Special liquids for cleaning shower cabins are available on the market. They are concentrated and effective in removing deposits, mold, and soap scum. Choose products that are safe for the cabin's surfaces and do not cause damage.
• Special Limescale Removers: If your shower cabin has a limescale problem, it's worth using special agents for its removal. Although traditional citric acid and vinegar are good ways to fight limescale, commercially available products enriched with chelating agents, abrasives, and enzymes usually give a better result.
• Homemade Cleaning Agents: If you prefer completely natural cleaning methods, you can use household agents such as vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, or a mixture of water and vinegar. These natural agents can be effective in removing deposits and disinfecting the shower cabin.

Tools:

• Soft Brush or Sponge: For cleaning the cabin's surfaces, it is recommended to use a soft brush or sponge. Choose a tool with the appropriate hardness to avoid damaging the surfaces.
• Microfiber Cloths: They are one of the best ways to clean and wipe glass and shiny surfaces.
• Towel or Sponge: After thoroughly wiping the shower cabin, it is important to dry the surfaces. Use a towel or sponge to remove moisture and prevent the reaccumulation of deposits.
• Remember that the choice of the right tools and cleaning agents depends on the type of surfaces and the problems you are dealing with. Before using any products, check the manufacturer's instructions and make sure they are safe for your shower cabin.
