    So I just finished cleaning my shower/tub/toilet with the half half vinegar and dish soap mix.... I'm SHOCKED by how squeaky clean and shiny everything is. I always thought cleaning with vinegar was tree hugging hippy crap but I don't think I'll ever buy nasty, wasteful cans of bathroom cleaner foam again 🙌🏻 Thank you so much! 💜

    Melissa, thanks for the info. I came across your channel when searching for the best way to clean a shower. I am a 65 y/o male, married for 40 years, and when I saw this video I confessed to my wife that I was in love! 😂. I have been an OCD clean freak all my life. Our kids washed their hands at the foot controlled sink and came into the kitchen with their hands in the "surgeon's" position (I am a doctor). I wash my hands to prepare for washing my hands. We never had a 5 second rule; if it fell on the floor it was thrown away or washed. We wash or clean all packaging entering the kitchen and we wash every single egg! When COVID started, the world started doing what I was doing all along! When I was in private practice, I had a sign in the patient bathroom; wash your hands or they will be amputated! All Best.

    We've been cleaning our tub/shower with the Dawn dishwashing soap and vinegar mix for about a decade. It works and has saved us money. I use a scrubber filled with the mixture, and have assigned, each member of my family, a section to clean before they finish their libations. This has kept our tub/shower clean, and we all share in the responsibility.

    • @CleaningHowTo
      @CleaningHowTo 2 роки тому +6

      That mixture works because the dish soap contains solvents which break down grease and soap scum and the vinegar breaks down the hard water stains. I did a video on this topic using my own cleaning mixture based on these two principles that costs me about 25 cent for a litre of it and it's AMAZING!

      Well, what is the alternative for glass doors?
      A shower curtain is very uncomfortable because it moves towards you during showering because of warm/cold air density difference.
      Nothing at all will splatter water all around, requiring extensive mopping. And risk of falling on slippery wet floor.

    We squeegee after every shower, (thank you, Melissa!) and I spray, sit, rinse, and towel dry once a week. Every 3 months I'll mold treat, just in case, but I haven't had any mildew yet. And, because our shower has a dome roof, we always leave our shower door open to make sure it air dries completely. Your videos have really upped my cleaning game, we rent, and we have quarterly inspections, but because of all the maintenance and cleaning skills, the healthy habits and routines I've learned from you, that are just normal to us now, there's never a big clean up to do anymore, just the regular, everyday, maintenance chores 😊❤

I am also a former professional window cleaner, so i like the clean and shiny look! The cleaning solution is the best for that application with soap scum, it really cuts through that crud! I'm buying another squeegee and keeping it handy for the walk-in shower. BTW, we had a simple cleaning solution for windows: a small handful of TSP and a splash of clear ammonia in a bucket of hot water. And I still use a chamiois cloth to dry the edges.

    Expert level! I retired to live in Italy. My home had scum in the shower glass when I moved in, a beautiful home, but I had bathroom scum in a home that sat empty for two years. My maintenance is now minimal. I keep a spray bottle of full strength bianco vinegar in the shower and several times a week spray the glass doors as I exit the shower. Yes, I clean the bathroom while naked! The vinegar keeps the mildew and mold under control. It’s about regular maintenance. I believe that is what your post is suggesting. A few minutes can save you from a major cleaning. I love your energy, your suggestions, so practical. Thanks to you and Chad.

    I also love that you own your own cleaning business and was born in Canada! Same here!! 😃♥️
    After YEARS of being on UA-cam can you give me, a newbie any advice that will help keep me at it?? I’m already feeling like .. WHAT did I get myself into??? I committed to a year of doing videos. It’s fun, but also stressful as a single mom as well as a business owner!
    What ever you can suggest would be greatly appreciated pioneer! ♥️

      Vinegar works on hard water stains as well. I'm on a well and it's a big issue. Hard to get the vinegar to stick, so maybe it will be better with dish soap. If you don't want to do that, there's a new product called 9 Elements (comes in bathroom cleaner as well as laundry soap) that is vinegar based. A bit expensive for only 9 ingredients, so try the vinegar and dish soap first. If worse comes to worse, an SOS (or cheapest equivalent) works really well. Works fine on glass. Wouldn't use on plastic.

    I’ve tried every product on the market that claims to rid glass of soap scum, to no avail! The next time I grocery shop or Amazon shop, I’m buying the most acidic vinegar I can find! Unfortunately, my mother was OCD about cleaning in an unhealthy way, so that’s how I was raised. I do not see the benefits of doing that to your children because children soak up everything they learn like a sponge, no pun intended. My home is clean but you cannot eat off every surface. I’ve been fighting chronic illness for 12 yrs and I really can’t clean like you do without going into a flare. I clean what I can, when I can and don’t beat myself up about the cleanliness of my home. I REALLY appreciated this tip about cleaning glass shower doors, as I have them in one of my bathrooms. I will most assuredly buy some vinegar. I will also rebottle it in one of those other cleaner bottles that continues to spray after you pump it a few times! A few less pumps of a cleaning product is a few less pumps I appreciate! Thank you Ladybug and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!

    I make a paste of baking soda and Dawn dish detergent in an empty screwtop container, then quickly spread it on my acrylic shower walls and glass doors with a non-abrasive but scrubbing sponge, leave it a little while (between 5 - 30 minutes), then spray everything with very warm water and the soap scum melts right off! It’s the quickest and easiest method I’ve ever used and it works beautifully! No squeegee between showers, just this method once a week gets those glass doors sparkling clean and the shower walls nice and smooth.

What do you think? Tip: I mix a few drops of Finish Jet Dry for the dishwasher to about a cup of water and after cleaning shower doors, apply to the glass with a sponge. Let sit for a few minutes then squeegee off. Keeps soap sum and water from settling on glass so often I don't even need to squeegee or scrub doors at all. Any comments good or bad to that practice?

Scrubs come off and kept separate from family laundry, I have a cloth bag I shove them in, then when it’s time to wash scrubs I empty bag into washer, throw in bag, wash with Tide Hygienic Clean detergent.
