Nothing dates a bathroom faster than cloudy shower glass.You can have beautiful tiles, fresh grout, and fluffy towels — but if the screen looks milky… the whole room feels dirty.
The good news? Crystal-clear shower glass isn’t about scrubbing harder — it’s about cleaning smarter.
Why Shower Glass Goes Cloudy
That hazy film isn’t actually dirt.
It’s a combo of:
Soap scum (fats from body wash + minerals)
Hard water deposits
Shampoo residue
Neglected moisture drying onto the glass
Every shower adds another microscopic layer. After a few weeks, the glass stops being transparent and starts looking frosted.
Step 1 — Break Down the Build-Up (The Important Part)
Skip harsh chemicals first — you need something that dissolves minerals.
Mix this:
1 part white vinegar
1 part warm water
Few drops dishwashing liquid
Spray generously and leave it for 5–10 minutes.This is crucial — the solution needs time to eat the deposits so you don’t have to scrub aggressively.
Then lightly scrub with a soft sponge or microfibre pad.
👉 If you scrub immediately, you’ll just smear the residue around.
Step 2 — Rinse & Polish (Where the Shine Happens)
Rinse with warm water, then:
Wipe with a clean microfibre cloth
Follow with a dry cloth or paper towel
Finish with a squeegee
This removes the microscopic water droplets that create streaks.
Step 3 — The Secret to Keeping It Clear
The real trick isn’t cleaning — it’s preventing.
After each shower:
Quick 10-second squeegee
Leave the door open for airflow
That alone can reduce buildup by about 80%.
Bonus Pro Tip ✨
Once clean, lightly buff the glass with a tiny drop of rinse aid (yes, dishwasher rinse aid).It creates a water-repellent layer so water beads instead of sticking.
