I just tried this to remove soap scum and hard water stains off my shower doors. It worked well, but I was not able to "scrub gently" like she did. I had to put some major elbow grease into it and had to repeat the process of squeegee + magic eraser on the missed spots (which were a lot after scrubbing gently) + squeegee again several times. It probably took me around an hour to finally get the doors perfectly clean, but it does look like brand new like no one has ever used it! I also used Windex afterwards and wiped with a microfiber cloth. It worked, but I am worn out. I am researching if Rain-X is a good option to use now that my shower doors are totally clean, to save myself from having to do this every month. We have had these new shower doors for about 6 months, and we have Squeegeed after every shower, but we did not always run the fan (going to do that from now on). Our area is known for hard water. The build up on our shower doors after 6 months, even with using a Squeegee, was starting to get pretty noticeable. The stains were the worst at the bottom and went about halfway up. I cant imagine how long it would have taken me and how hard it would have been if my shower doors had years of buildup or if it was from top to bottom.
Congrats on your success of this video. Nice voice over too. Good job. 🥳👍watched to the end. I like your end screen too. Very professional. Mine just go all over the place. Great positioning.
@@hackswithchristina hey! Excellent video, I have a question, was this your first one? I really want to star a UA-cam channel but I’m quite fearful and don’t really know what to do, any tips?
I just tried this and it didn’t work for me 😢😭 We just bought a house with a stand up shower and it’s obvious that the previous owners didn’t clean it often. The soap scum is sooooo thick and yucky. We’ve managed to remove some but we can’t get it completely off and it’s driving me insane 😫 I feel like I’ve tried everything in the last week. I need help
I had bad hard water stains , tried almost each and everything vinegar, lime,baking soda ,w 40 , etc etc . Got little help . Spent months on searching right stuff .Tried almost 100 $ stuff . But finally i went to home depot and brought bar keepers friend ( only liquid works ) 3-4 $ , rhodes american steel wool grade # 0000 for 3 $ ( from amazon or walmart . Method : apply bar keepers friend on glass , leave for 5-10 min . Then rub with steel wool in circular manner , it wont scratch . Beleive me . Its a magic on years old soap scum. If you want to use vinegar ,u can use full strength vinegar and dilute with water . But for mine , only bar keepers and steel wool worked .
Makes me not want to have a shower like that. My sister has one similar in one of the guest bedrooms in their new house, and she insists when I visit, to squeegee the shower glass when I’m done, but her husband is always in a hurry to go someplace and their water pressure is the lowest I’ve ever seen. Swear to God, takes me ten minutes to rinse the soap off my wash rag, takes me thirty minutes to shower and wash/condition and rinse my hair AND then I have to squeegee the shower, then get a towel and dry that and the last time I visited, the new rule was I had to squeegee and dry out the floor of the shower because it was found out that the bathrooms, in particular the ones in the front of the house were showing signs of mold. And my brother in law wants to know why it takes me over an hour to get ready to go anywhere. To me, it’s not fun. My sister and brother-in-law’s en-suite master bathroom has very little glass where the en-suite shower in the front bedroom is ALL glass so it takes longer, especially the way my sister and brother-in-law want it done. I was born with the housework hating gene and I KNOW it has to be done, but, I’m just not that ambitious, if I had to work, that means getting up earlier just to get the shower squeegees and dried off and knowing me, I’m just not that ambitious, and want that extra time to sleep before getting up, and if I had to do that when cleaning the bathroom, again, knowing me, it would take me all day to clean the bathroom or after cleaning the shower as shown, I’d say, ok, I’m done, the rest can wait. Like I said, I hate housework, don’t judge, it was how God made me. I wish I was a more ambitious house cleaner, but, I’m not, and have to accept my limitations. God bless you though. I’ll pass on this cleaning technique to my sister when I talk to her next.
I just need a brand new shower. Can’t stand glass doors. It should all be wide open and breathable. I hate my bathroom. I hate all my bathrooms. I have 4 and all suck. Mold, grime, ugghhh. I need some money, like $100k to really do my bathrooms justice. Time to go to sleep to get sleep so I can be stud tomorrow and dream of one day having bad ass bathrooms. A beautiful spa/ like shower bathroom. Omg 😢
I have glass shower doors, I hate them, so much work squeegie after each use, give me a break. So much harder than a tub and tile, and just putting up a new inner shower curtin once a year or so. My guess is glass doors were thought up by a man.
Just replace them with blurry glass and it's done.. Too much time too much products... I weekly clean them with steam machine I don't see finger tips and drops what a peace
There is a link to the sponge in the description box. If you are unable to get the sponge I know that there are some other videos on YT with some neat methods of cleaning soap scum off of glass as well.
I haven't cleaned my tub or shower in years! And they look like new! How often do you clean soap scum from the inside of your dish washer? How about from inside your washing machine? Correct, never. The best way to clean soap scum is never get it in the first place. Chunk all your bath soap and only use liquid soap. The main ingredient in bar soap is Sodium tallowate. Sodium tallowate is a true soap made by combining the fatty tissue (or tallow) of animals, such as cattle and sheep, with lye, typically sodium hydroxide". It's pure white animal fat that holds the soap in a clump. It sticks to the tile or tub and water will not run over it. Sits there and the water evaporates and leaves mineral deposits on the fat. Repeat a few times and you have "soap scum". Liquid soap or "detergent" holds oily skin residue in suspension and it washes everything away when you rinse. Just like your clothes or dish washer. Also an added benefit is that your drains will never clog up!!
Or do what I did. Get a Brillo pad and scrub in circles with hot water rinse and just like that. It’s all gone and it doesn’t scratch your shower doors no need to be a chemist and go through all that mess
I'll recommend using the Rain-X 2 in 1 Glass Cleaner + Rain Repellent after you clean your glass doors. Keeps it scum free for over 6 months.
I will try this out!!! ✨
Good idea!
Whoa, smart!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! 😁 I enjoyed checking out your channel.

I also use glass cleaner after cleaning the shower to give the glass an extra shine 🤩
Like having that extra shine!
I'll try it. Sounds good because if you add dish soap to the vinegar, its going to make a lot of suds.
Best Video! It solved my problem and worked perfectly!
Thanks! Great to hear!
Thanks a lot , this was super helpful! 😊💕
Awwww I love the heartwarming welcome! 😍 Saw your comment on Annie's Channel 🙌🏼😘😘
Thank you, Sandra!
Your tips are the best! Thank you!
Works awesome thanks so much 😊
You’re welcome!
Hello Christina. This is Cathy and it is nice to meet you. How do you clean your shower?
For faster work, use a 1 gallon garden sprayer with the solution. Very inexpensive, no bending up & down, saves the arthritic hands!
Thanks for the tip Chuck! I'll have to try that out! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I will try to do this!! Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊 Hope it works just as well for you!
Thanks for this! (Where did you find your top? I've been looking for something like that for a long time)
Thank you! I bought it from Target back in 2019. I hope you can find something similar soon! It is one of my favorite tops.
Thanks. And what a nice pleasant voice as well.
Thank you!
Thanks so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This works, but im looking for a safe method for natural stone showers. The vinegar isn't safe in that case :(
cheers vinegar i am going to try it thanks, anyone else?
I use 1/3 dish soap 2/3 vinegar. The dish soap helps keep the vinegar in place. You can wait an hour or more to let the vinegar really do its job.
Thanks for sharing!!
I hope y'all found these tips helpful! Thanks for watching!
Worked great!
Great to hear!
Great it worked
Glad it was helpful to you!
Very clean
Very!
Magic eraser! You’re a freaking genius, thank you so much!
Love it!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Good luck♥️♥️♥️💞💞💞💞
Thank you!
Great
Do I need the magic eraser? Can I use a non scratch scouring pad?
you can actually when you apply the water/vinegar mix
I just tried this and it didn’t work for me 😢😭

Does this work on hard water stains, too?

@@sahibpitaji1283 THANKS
@@sahibpitaji1283 you said hard water, and then said years of soap scum, which is it?? hardwater is a lot different than soap scum.

We squeegee in my house every time it keeps mold away yes it sucks to do but when you drop 12-15k on a bathroom you wanna keep it new.
That's a good thing you don't live there, and it's not your house, right?😂🤣
it slayed water spots?
Yes!
I have tried this vinegar water mix on my shower doors which are now hazy white looking from the hardwater and it just got them wet, it did nothing.
The key is using the magic eraser sponge 😉
It's not working on my shower's glass

Heat the vinegar, run it through the coffeemaker first.

after being a house cleaner for a few years, i know that when i get my own house i definitely do not want any glass doors in the showers lol
😂
Can you just use straight vinegar?
The key to this method is the magic eraser.
Spray with oven cleaner and leave for 20 mins
Just replace them with blurry glass and it's done.. Too much time too much products... I weekly clean them with steam machine I don't see finger tips and drops what a peace
Be careful, the acid will also eat away at the silicone seals in your shower.
If we dont have magical sponge
There is a link to the sponge in the description box. If you are unable to get the sponge I know that there are some other videos on YT with some neat methods of cleaning soap scum off of glass as well.
Tried not working 😢
Only thing that works for me is glass stove cleaner, all the rest is a waste of time.

Thanks for the info...going try it tomorrow.
Did not work. 😢
'I'm not working very hard' yeah well the screen is already clean
After I shower, I just dry the walls.
That's a good tip! Thanks for sharing.
A magic eraser can take white off rice.
😂
How is that a miracle? That is called cleaning.
