Your glass shower door can be a thing of beauty until it becomes coated with hard water mineral stains, mildew and soap scum. Instead of replacing the door to get that new clean door look try some cleaning tips from the glass door experts.

For a shower door that is prone to soap scum, many consumers have found the solution is quite simple. Simply stop using bar soap and switch to liquid body soap. It isn't necessarily as cost effective but it won't leave your door covered with soap scum either.

If you are determined to keep using bar soap or you just want to get the old scum off the shower door, one solution to keeping it clean and clear is to use a mixture of one cup liquid fabric softener and one quart of warm water. Apply with a sponge and rinse off and you door should be sparkling clean again.

There can be several problems we can encounter with our shower doors. The older they get, the more they can be prone to problems. Fortunately these problems are always easy to fix.
