  1. Spray: Generously apply the product to all surfaces (tiles, glass, faucets, and grout).
  2. Wait: Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the mixture to break down residues.
  3. Scrub: * Use a sponge for smooth surfaces like glass and acrylic.
    • Use a brush for grout lines and stained areas.
  4. Rinse: Use lukewarm water to wash away the loosened grime.
  5. Dry: Use a squeegee to remove excess water.
  6. Polishing: Finish with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free, brilliant shine.

3. Bonus Tips for Stubborn Problems

For Heavy Limescale

Add one tablespoon of warm white vinegar to your homemade mixture. ⚠️ Caution: Never use vinegar on marble or porous natural stone surfaces, as the acid can etch the stone.

For Persistent Mold

  1. Apply baking soda directly onto the grout lines.
  2. Spray your homemade cleaner over the soda.
  3. Let it foam for a few moments, scrub with a brush, and rinse.

To Keep the Shower Clean Longer

  • Squeegee after every use: This is the #1 way to prevent limescale.
  • Preventative Spray: Lightly mist your homemade cleaner on the walls 1–2 times a week without rinsing to keep grime from sticking.

4. How to Clean Shower Tracks

Shower tracks are difficult to reach and often harbor deep-seated limescale and mold. Here is how to tackle them:

  1. Soak: Pour warm white vinegar or your homemade mixture directly into the tracks.
  2. Wait: Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits.
  3. Scrub: Use an old toothbrush or a thin detailing brush to scrub inside the narrow rails.
  4. Rinse: Rinse with lukewarm water using a spray bottle or a gentle pour.
  5. Dry: Use a microfiber cloth to dry the tracks completely; standing water here leads to new mold.

Expert Tip: For very dirty tracks, sprinkle baking soda before adding the vinegar. The fizzing reaction will lift deep dirt to the surface.

Summary of Results

By switching to this natural routine, you will achieve:

  • Sparkling glass and tiles without chemical residue.
  • Sanitized grout with significantly less mold.
  • Fewer limescale traces on your faucets.
