    cleaner - Remove Soap Scum

    Use Listerine mouthwash.

    My clear glass shower doors were so scummed, they
    looked like they were blue frosted glass! Listerine
    worked the best. I’m going to put Listerine in a
    spray bottle and use it from now on. Plus, hubby will
    love the smell!

    Use lemon juice from concentrate PERIOD!
    Found in the vegetable section of the grocery store in
    the little plastic lemon container called Squeez-eez
    or in the baking section in a bottle called ReaLemon.
    Squirt on and let sit for 30 seconds and wipe.
    It’s lemon juice so wear something protective on your eyes!

    cleaner - Remove Soap Scum

    I just used the dishwasher soap method and it worked great
    for my soap scum. I used Sam’s club powder dishwashing soap.
    Poured in the bottom of the shower and wet the floor and walls.
    Used a nylon scrubber and scrubbed away the scum. It was
    pretty easy. I had tried Tylex to no avail.

    cleaner - Remove Soap Scum

    My mom got her tub and wall refinished, and the guy who did it
    said the best cleaner was just to
    spray a mixture of
    Ivory liquid soap and water
    on the wall, tub and the vinyl shower curtain after every shower
    and you would never have to scrub again. My mom hasn’t
    scrubbed in ages, and trust me, I remember having to scrub that
    tub!! I don’t currently live in the US - I brought a bottle back with
    me, cleaned my shower base and walls really well, and for the
    past two weeks, the shower is spotless, sparkly, and not a
    smidgen of buildup!
    I don’t have an exact mix, but it might be around
    1 part Ivory to 5 parts water….
    Experiment with it. I know I will be trying more and more dilute
    mixtures as I need to make this bottle last until my next trip to
    the US.
    The Ivory and water mix don’t leave a greasy or runny finish.
    To me, it looks very clean, very smooth to the touch. It seems to
    create a fine film that impedes the water from building up deposits.
    You can go a shower or two in between sprays, depending on the
    shower and other factors.

    Try half vinegar, half ivory pure dish soap.
    It works great.
    You can use a little more vinegar, and a little less soap if you want.
    Just mix up in a spray bottle, spray and leave on about five to ten
    minutes and rinse. Leaves a nice shine to.

    cleaner - Remove Soap Scum

    I save those bunched up nylon scrubbies ( that you get at the dollar store )
    when they become old. Use a little baking soda or borax and scrub with those.
    I've also used cheap shampoo ( also bought at the dollar tree) to clean soap
    scum from the bathtub and shower. It seems to melt bath tub ring away quickly.
    If you get the scented shampoo (mango or coconut), it leaves the bathroom
    smelling great. A little on an old scrubbie goes a long way.
