Shower Glass

[Larry Miller]

Help anyone. We used Tilex shower cleaner after each shower as directions
stated. Now we have film residue that will not come off. We used regular
Tilex, and every other common cleaner we can find. Film will not come off
glass. Ideas? Thanks

That seems to be the nature of glass shower enclosures. You can try to
steam clean it. Another option would be the Mr. Clean eraser. I don't
think there is any way to keep glass in like-new condition.

Something similar... In one of our bathrooms we had a very large mirror
over a double vanity that remained smeary and filmy no matter what type of
cleaner we used. In fact, it seemed to only get worse with cleaning. We
finally used a steam cleaner on it with a cloth-covered tool. It removed
every trace.

Will rubbing alcohol work on the soap scum?

Just a thought.

No problem. Use baking soda and a very worn nylon pad--or a new pad
that's unusually soft (and they are out there).

The baking soda won't scratch the glass and the porous nylon pad doesn't
promote caking up of the scum as its removed.

Detergent? Hmm. A couple of drops of whatever shampoo is handy--just for
the scent.

I have tried many things for my glass shower door. Mr. Clean eraser has
worked out the best. I love that thing.

If only they weren't so expensive. I have a $1 off coupon and I am waiting
for super double coupons to use it. They had a deal for a free one and the
coupon at their website. If you can't find it let me know.

I get them at Walmart where they are much less expensive than at
the supermarket. Still pricey though.
