How Often Should I Clean Out My Shower?

You should clean your shower with soap and warm water at least once a week. Frequent cleaning keeps germs and bacteria at bay.

If you have a shower curtain, you don’t need to wash it as often as you’d think. But, you should wash your shower curtain as the seasons change.

After showering, use a sponge or a squeegee to wipe down the walls and door. Hang your shower cleaning tools up to dry afterward and don’t wipe them clean with a towel.

How to Deep Clean Your Shower

Every once in a while, you should give your shower a deep cleaning. You should deep clean your shower every few months. This helps keep your shower super clean as opposed to cleaning it once a week.

Some supplies you may need to deep clean your shower include the following:

  • Glass cleaner
  • All-purpose cleaner
  • Microfiber cloth

Next, we’ll tell you how to clean glass shower doors. The constant use of glass shower doors leads to stubborn and constant stains.

Remove all your shower supplies from inside, like shampoos, soap, and conditioner. Then spray the doors with an all-purpose cleaner.

Let the doors sit while you wipe down the supplies you took out. Then scrub the doors dry with a microfiber cleaning cloth.

If you’d like to remove more stubborn spots, spray some more cleaner over them. And let the solution sit longer on those spots.

You may have a clogged showerhead. If this is the case for you, soak it in diluted vinegar and boiling water.

You can also fill a plastic Ziploc bag with the same solution and let it lay over the showerhead while you sleep. Doing this breaks down the water deposits.
