Transform your shower from cloudy to sparkling with this $12 cleaning secret!

Cleaning the bathroom is a chore that most of us would rather avoid, especially when it comes to tackling stubborn soap scum on shower doors.
The struggle to restore the glass to its original, crystal-clear state can be frustrating and time-consuming.
However, an unexpected supermarket product has been revealed as a game-changer in the battle against soap scum.
Finish Rinse Aid, a product typically used in dishwashers to give glassware a sparkling finish, has been hailed as a miracle cleaner for shower doors.
This surprising revelation was shared in a video tutorial by a user known as The Amateur Cleaner on social media.
In the video, the cleaner applied the rinse aid directly to a microfibre cloth and wiped it over the shower door.
‘You can use Finish to remove soap scum on shower doors,’ she said.
The rinse aid quickly cuts through the soap scum, revealing a crystal-clear glass surface.
A 500ml bottle costs $5.75 (marked down from $11.50) at both Coles and Woolworths.
According to the product description, this is designed to make glassware shine, suggesting that any rinse aid within your budget could potentially do the trick.

Online users responded and shared their own favourite ways of cleaning shower glass.
‘Magic Eraser works wonders,’ one said.
‘Mix vinegar, water and dish soap for cleaning glass door! It's the best,’ commented another.
‘Pink bathroom cleaner from Bunnings and Magic Eraser. Brand new,’ another said.
The rinse aid cleaning trick also sparked curiosity about what other surfaces the product might be effective on.
Suggestions included car headlights and mirrors.
But according to The Amateur Cleaner, the rinse aid can also be used to remove watermarks on stainless steel. For this purpose, she recommended squirting a little rinse aid on a paper towel and wiping off the marks.

However, before you rush off to try this trick, it's important to remember always to do a patch test in a small area when trying any cleaning product on a surface it's not designed for, such as wood.
But if you want to be creative and use any products you have at home, why not try a DIY cleaning solution to clean your shower screens?
In a previous story, cleaning enthusiasts raved about a three-ingredient spray that made their shower screen look brand new in minutes. Read the story here.
So, next time you're faced with a cloudy shower door, why not give rinse aid a try? You might be surprised at the sparkling results!
