View Full Version : Decent into the mundane: bathroom cleansers

I've got a minor bathroom cleaning issue which is annoying me.

I have an enclosed shower in my upstairs bathroom. It's tile and glass in a chrome frame. The wall facing into the room is 3/4 glass. It was installed three years ago and is now showing signs of some kind of "build-up" or accretion on the inside of the glass where the water has dried repeatedly. I have tried Windex, Soft Scrub and Lime-Away. None has worked. There is no removal of the discoloration on the glass.

Anybody know a handy cleaner to keep glass clean?

I suppose I could call our installer and ask them, but I thought I'd ask here first.

you could try Kaboom. I got it in the bathroom cleaning section at Safeway. Its in a purple spray bottle. It may take a couple sessions if the gunk has been there awhile.

Ha! I went off to see the bottle of the stuff I have now and it's freemonkey's Kaboom. It works on the soap scum on the fiberglass, tile and metal fixtures of the shower, too. I bought it at Lowe's hardware store in the cleaning section.

This is the first time I've used Kaboom because I usually use something else that works great, too. But I can't remember the name of it. Lime Away has done well on the mineral deposits, though.

Oh yeah, and then, once it's clean, I hear the hot ticket for keeping it that way is to use a squeegee after every shower.

Please forgive my comment on the typo in the title -- I know you meant descent, but I sometimes love what typos cause me to think of and I thank you for this one.

Go thee indecent into the mundane...

Ho!... I could claim that I meant it to be that way. It was a witticism...but I'd be lying. Wish I'd seen it. Thanks for pointing it out. I rather like it that way.... :D

I just don't like "ask" being pronounced as "ax". Ax is a sharp cutting tool.

I mean, one of the Pacific NW jokes, is "Idaho, Idaho, it's always Idaho... This time, you gonna be da ho!"

Actually, I think "Ho!" is a muleskinner term, too. I think "Gee!" and "Ha!" are left and right. "Ho!" might be the same as "Whoa!"

Hey! Give that back. That's why it took me so long to come back and post!
