4 Ways to Clean Your Shower

In order to feel clean when you get out of the shower, you need your shower itself to be clean. Easier said than done, right? From hair to soap scum to other build up, it can feel downright impossible to keep your shower clean. The grout keeps getting blacker and you’re losing the battle. Wait! A few simple tips and tricks are all it takes to take back control and feel like your shower is truly again.

 #1 Get the right tools. First things first. Get the tools you need in order to clean well, with less effort from you. You could grab an old toothbrush to scrub stains and scum from grout. You

#2 Wipe your shower daily. The best way to avoid a tough cleaning project is to clean it daily. This way, the grime and soap scum never has a chance to build up. After your nightly shower, give the area a quick cleaning, rinsing, and drying. It’ll only take a few minutes and you’ll save yourself so much time down the right when you don’t have to scrub stubborn spots. 

#3 Use natural ingredients you already have at home. Who says you have to use harsh chemicals to get that serious clean you’re looking for? It’s as easy as buying two versatile, non-toxic pantry staples. It is easy to think bleach is doing a great job as it whitens everything but in fact it can feed mold in porous surfaces, like your grout. Some great do it yourself ideas include vinegar and bicarbonate soda combined. 

 #4 Tackle mold and mildew. Prevention is often the best and only way to treat these two. If you wait and the mold has a chance to settle into the grout or silicone around the shower, you’re already fighting a losing battle. You see, mold settles and develops spores that lodge themselves into your grout. Once this happens, it is extremely difficult to kill, naturally or even with harsh chemicals. You may need to consider replacing the silicone and grout altogether to get rid of it.
