Can't remember who suggested using a Magic Eraser and dish detergent to clean off shower doors--but a HUGE THANK YOU!!!(it was someone here, wasn't it?)

I don't have shower doors, but I do have brown ceramic tile (and a brown soap dish) in my shower--they're hard to clean and keep clean. Used the ME and detergent, and the soap scum washed off like.... well, magic!

Great suggestion. I really appreciate it!

I don't remember who, either, but it was on here, and YES - it works!

RE: Thank You Re: Soap Scum Suggestion

do you think it would scratch acrylic (or plastic) builder grade bath/shower stall walls?

I shared the hint that I found on the cleaning site here. I don't remember who shared it there. It has been the answer to my years long struggle to clean our master shower doors. In a pinch the other day, I recleaned the shower with a Magic Eraser moistened with undiluted cheap shampoo. That worked too. Glad you liked the suggestion too.

Argh, those magic erasers (combined with anything) do absolutely nothing for my shower scum...I must have very special scum. LOL

We use the shower spray that's made to spray after each shower. It keeps it clean without much work. I think we use the Arm & Hammer brand but there are several out there.

Put white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray on. Works great!

So do dryer sheets and elbow grease!

The very best cleaner I have ever found is Easy Off Oven Cleaner, in the blue can, fume free. I have a fiberglass shower and that stuff works great let me tell you... I have been using it for about 3 years now and the chrome fixtures etc still look great, it does not harm them. I spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes then what ever tool you normally use as a scrubber... but it does not take much elbow grease.
