Cleaning expert's 3-step method to make shower screens 'sparkling'

A three-step method from a cleaning expert promises to get shower screens shining. Shower screens can become harder to clean over time, especially in households with hard water. They get stained from large amounts of shower water constantly spraying them. Sometimes, this leaves us endlessly scrubbing with little to no success in removing these water stains. However, an expert has shared her simple cleaning method for shower screens.

Water marks, soap scum and limescale can be quite the headache for homeowners, but they are actually easier to remove than you think. Cleaning expert Clare from Bust The Dust has said that her cleaning method can transform dull glass in mere minutes. "So many people give up on their shower screens because no amount of scrubbing seems to shift the marks," she explained. "But the trick is to work smarter, not harder."

She said that there is no need to reach for expensive cleaning sprays, as a homemade solution can be a "game-changer". However, there are a few essentials you need to make sure you have first.

First of all, you need a utility blade, which can be purchaed for under £1 in many supermarkets, pounds shops and homeware stores. Clare revealed: "People are often shocked when I tell them I use nothing more than a utility blade. It's inexpensive, easy to find, and when used correctly, it can make your shower screen look brand new."

To start, you need to lightly spritz the shower screen with cleaning vinegar or soapy water to moisten the surface. Then, you will hold the blade at a slight angle and gently scrape downwards, applying light pressure.

Then, wipe down the screen with a clean cloth and admire your crystal-clear results. Clare explained: "Moistening the screen first is essential. It helps the blade glide smoothly and stops dirt particles from becoming airborne."

Unlike scrubbing endlessly, this method gently lifts and the scum and water marks on the shower screen to leave it looking as good as new.
