Cleaning a dirty shower is one of the most frustrating chores. The dirt and grime seem to just reappear as soon as you finish scrubbing. It's like the shower is mocking us. But it has to be done because who wants to use a gross shower?
If you find this relatable, then we've got good news for you!
A mum has recently made the rounds on social media after she revealed her secret to effectively transforming her 'putrid' shower into sparkling clean.
Sharing her tip on the Mums Who Clean Facebook group, the woman claimed that she had anticipated needing to clean the shower's glass doors several times, but after only one scrub, they were spotless.

So, what exactly is her secret?
The mum revealed that she used Bar Keeper's Friend cleanser and polish after a friend recommended it to her, saying that she was having a difficult time cleaning the shower in her new apartment because the previous renters had left it unattended.
She wrote: 'We moved into our home 2.5 months ago and the previous tenants had not cleaned the shower at all. It was absolutely putrid.'
'When I broke out the Bar Keeper's Friend I was expecting to have to have a number of goes but it was one and done!'
The woman shared that she made a ‘watery paste’ by combining Bar Keeper's Friend powder with water, then used a scourer to wipe and gently brush the soap scum off the shower.
She claimed that after several rinses, the white Bar Keeper's Friend residue that mixed in with the grime had been removed.
'Once the glass/surfaces don't have that white residue, dry with a soft glass microfibre cloth or wet the surface again and squeegee dry. Just water and Bar Keeper's Friend is all you need,' she added.

Others pointed out that the results of the cleaning process look 'very satisfying'.
One woman raved: 'Running to the shop to buy this miracle product.'
'I have only ever used BKF on steel things so I must try on my glass shower now! Thanks!' another said.
A third chimed in: 'I have a similar issue and this gives me hope.'

The best way to clean a shower is to prevent mould and mildew from growing in the first place. Here are some tips:
- Keep the shower clean. That means wiping down the walls and doors after every shower and scrubbing the floor at least once a week.
- Use a squeegee to remove water from the walls and doors after each shower. This will help keep the shower dry and make it easier to clean.
- Use an anti-mould spray in the shower. This will help keep mould and mildew at bay.
- Keep the bathroom ventilated. This will help keep the air dry and discourage mould and mildew from growing.
Follow these tips and you'll be able to keep your shower clean and mould-free. And that's something we can all be thankful for.
