Cleaning a shower can be a bit of a chore, but with the right approach, you can get it looking spotless and fresh. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you effectively clean your shower:

Gather Your Supplies

  • Shower Magic: The simple and easy solution to keeping your clean shower looking clean.
  • A Squeegee: For removing water from glass surfaces.
  • Scrub Brush or Sponge: Use a brush with stiff bristles for grout and tiles, and a non-abrasive sponge for delicate surfaces.

  • Bathroom Magic Microfiber Cleaning Cloth: For wiping down surfaces.

Remove Items

Pre-Rinse the Shower

  • Warm Water Rinse: Rinse the walls, floor, and glass doors with warm water to loosen dirt, soap scum and grime.

Apply Shower Magic

  • Spray Bathroom Magic: Generously to all surfaces—walls, floors, doors, and fixtures.
  • Let it Sit: Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to break down grime and soap scum. This is especially important for areas with heavy buildup.

Scrub the Surfaces

  • Tiles and Grout: Use a scrub brush or sponge to scrub the tiles and grout lines. For grout, apply Bathroom Magic and let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a toothbrush.
  • Glass Doors: For best results apply Bathroom Magic liberally over the entire door, for stubborn spots rub with a non abrasive sponge. Working from the top down use a to remove excess Shower Magic and water.
  • Showerhead and Fixtures: If there’s limescale buildup, soak a cloth in Bathroom Magic and wrap it around the showerhead or fixtures. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then scrub with a brush.

Clean the Floor

  • Scrub the Floor: Apply extra Bathroom Magic if needed and scrub the shower floor with a brush. Pay attention to corners and drain areas where grime tends to accumulate.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the floor well to ensure all cleaner and dirt are washed away.

Rinse All Surfaces

  • Final Rinse: Use the showerhead or a bucket of water to thoroughly rinse all the surfaces, removing any remaining cleaner and debris.

Dry and Polish

  • Wipe Down: Use a squeeze followed by a microfibre cloth or towel to dry all surfaces. This helps prevent any water spots and streaks.
  • Polish Fixtures: If desired, spray with Bathroom Magic dry the shower head, faucets and other fixtures with a Bathroom Magic Microfibre Cloth cloth for extra shine.

    Maintenance Tips

    • Daily Maintenance: After each shower, use a squeegee to remove water from the walls and glass doors. This helps prevent soap scum and water spots.
    • Ventilation: Keep your bathroom well-ventilated to reduce moisture and prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the shower door or curtain open to allow air to circulate.

    Following these steps will help you keep your shower clean and fresh, making it a more pleasant space to use. Regular maintenance will make deep cleaning easier and faster.
