Professional Shower Cleaning Services

It is hard to find anything more irritating than getting into a clean bathroom and noticing that your glass shower doors are looking foggy and streaked. You wash and dry them, and they look much better until they dry, but then the milky white stuff reappears.

It is the cry of frustration we hear at InstaService. The fact is that cloudiness is not necessarily simply dirt lying on the surface. In most cases, it is a mixture of minerals in hard water, and soap remains literally attached to the glass. It takes a proper plan to take it off, not just elbow grease.

Why Does Shower Glass Get So Cloudy?

Cleaning beforehand is a good idea to get to know what you are dealing with. Although glass is absolutely smooth to the touch, it has microscopic pores that entrap grime.

Hard Water Deposits: The majority of tap water contains significant amounts of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. When water droplets evaporate on your door, the water evaporates, but the minerals remain, plugging those little pores in the glass.
Soap Scum: Soap scum is the sticky stuff. Body wash, shampoos, and conditioner oils are similar to glue. They attach themselves to those mineral deposits and form that hard, hazy coating that none of us like.
The Long-Term Risk: If you allow these spots to remain for too long, they can etch marks into the glass, causing long-term damage. That is why your doors may still appear misty, even though they have been thoroughly cleaned. The surface has now been changed.

The 3-Step Method: Work Less and Smarter

The greatest error that individuals commit is scrubbing instantly. The secret process by which professional cleaners do it is time. If you let your cleaning solution do the heavy lifting, you save yourself a lot of scrubbing.

Step 1: The Soak (The Secret Weapon)

This is meant to break the mineral bonds so they can easily be wiped off.

The Mix: Measure equal parts warm white vinegar and blue dish soap, then mix. The heat causes the vinegar to attack the calcium, and the dish soap penetrates the body oils, making the mixture adhere to the vertical glass and not run off immediately.
The Application: Spray inside the door, covering it in a generous blanket from top to bottom. Spray the outside generously. You want it fully saturated.
The Wait: Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. This is crucial. Move off and let the chemistry take its course. When it begins to dry, just respray it to make it wet and active.

Step 2: The Gentle Scrub

Since the buildup is no longer tough, you do not need to rub your arm sore scrubbing.

The Tool: Grab a non-scratch sponge or a soft microfiber pad. Stay away from steel wool or green scouring pads. They may get the dirt off, but they will leave permanent scratches behind.
The Motion: To loosen the grime, use small circular movements. If you are stuck in a particular area, use a little more solution rather than pushing harder.
Don’t Forget the Details: Use an old toothbrush to get into the metal tracks and around the hinges. This is the place where really nasty stuff (such as pink mold) prefers to be.

Step 3: The Perfect Finish

Rinse: Use warm water to remove all the loosened gunk.
Squeegee: This is the most satisfying portion. Run the water off with a good squeegee from bottom to top. Make your lines overlap a little so that you are sure to leave no lines behind.
Dry: Clean up with a dry microfiber cloth. Clean the metal handles, the frame, and the drip with a towel. This provides you with the streak-free, showroom shine.

How to Keep It Spotless: The 30-Second Rule

The most convenient way to clean a shower is to keep it clean at all times. Times that little bit of day-to-day cleaning spares you hours of deep cleaning afterwards.

Squeegee Every Time: It takes around 30 seconds following your shower. As long as you take out the water before it settles, the minerals will never settle.
Air It Out: Keep the shower door open after use. Improved air circulation ensures faster drying, helping prevent mold growth in corners.
Water Repellents/Glass Treatments: Have you considered applying a glass treatment (such as Rain-X or similar) to your shower doors? It seals those tiny pores, so water rolls right off.
