Shower cleaning tips

Use a soft cloth, such as a microfibre cloth, to clean your shower and avoid using the rough side of a sponge to clean smooth and delicate surfaces. Otherwise, the surface could become scratched, which not only comprises the overall look, but also requires more effort to clean – and that's exactly what you want to avoid.

For particularly stubborn limescale stains, leave vinegar to soak for up to an hour. Another of our shower cleaning hacks: For hard-to-reach areas, like around taps and fittings, it’s more effective to use a spray bottle to apply the vinegar as a fine mist. Incidentally, the smell of vinegar disappears very quickly after rinsing, and because vinegar has disinfectant properties, it also eliminates other odours. Mould, which thrives in damp environments, can also be effectively prevented using household vinegar as a home remedy.

Light stains can simply be removed with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
However, this is not enough for more stubborn limescale stains. The best way to remove these is with vinegar - one part simple table vinegar or vinegar essence diluted in 5 parts water is perfectly adequate.

Apply the vinegar with a cloth or sponge to the areas with lime buildup and let it sit for a few minutes. Afterwards, just rinse off the residue with clean water.
