How to clean a shower

What are the best ways to deep clean a shower naturally?

Minimal scrubbing is the goal when it comes to the bathroom, and keeping bacteria and grime away serves as a vital part of your weekly routine. Let's get your shower sparkling using these simple natural ingredients and professional methods!

1. Targeted Grime & Grout Busting

This cleaning routine serves 1 standard family shower unit:

Spray white vinegar onto grout and let it sit for 10 minutes to break down soap scum. Scrub with an OXO grout brush for precision. For taps and chrome, use Scrub Daddy PowerPaste and finish with Astonish Bathroom Spray for a professional shine.

2. Plumbing Health & Seal Sanitisation

The Plughole Reset

Clear hair and gunk with a drain snake monthly. Follow with Kilrock Plughole Unblocker to keep things flowing freely and prevent return odours.

Seal Restoration

Scrub your rubber seals with a small toothbrush and a paste of bicarbonate of soda. Buff the walls with a dry microfibre cloth to remove all moisture.

SHOWER CARE TIPS: 1. Use a shower squeegee daily to prevent limescale. 2. Polish glass with a glass polishing cloth. 3. Decant vinegar into a glass spray bottle for a professional look. 4. Change your shower loofah every 3 weeks to avoid bacteria. 5. Wipe down tiles with a dry microfibre after the final squeegee!

3. The Shower Head Reset & Limescale Care

If your shower head is spraying at an angle, it serves as a sign of mineral buildup! Fill a small bag with white vinegar, submerge the head, and secure with a rubber band overnight. The citric acid melts away crystals without damaging the finish. For the tray, apply a thick layer of limescale gel to the corners where water pools. Maintaining these small loops ensures your bathroom remains a true sanctuary for years to come!
