Stephanie Hodge sought advice on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page, asking: “Hi all. Is something able to help on what to use to clean a shower screen? I’ve tried lots of things but it never comes up well, thanks in advance.” Showers and shower screens can accumulate grime and smears from frequent use, often stained with personal care products.
It’s crucial to maintain cleanliness in these areas due to their susceptibility to germs and bacteria, necessitating at least a weekly cleaning, reports the Express. Emma-lee Barry responded in the comments section, recommending Viakal after receiving similar advice: “I asked this the other day and Viakal was the top answer, it works brilliantly.
“I just sprayed it all over the glass, left it for a few minutes and used a microfibre cloth to buff it away, it works in minutes.”
Kell Darby also suggested using Viakal, detailing the method: “Use Viakal. Spray it on, wipe with a wet cloth, and squeeze it down. It leaves glass sparkling.”
However, Regina Phalange added a cautionary tale about Viakal: “Use Viakal but please be careful, I had a severe reaction with my breathing.
“Open every window and follow instructions properly. It definitely does what it says and removes 100 percent of water marks and limescale, game-changing.”
Viakal boasts the ability to tackle even the most stubborn limescale, as well as cleaning soap scum and watermarks in both bathroom and kitchen settings.
The product is versatile, safe for use on various surfaces including shower walls, taps, glass doors, washbasins, bathtubs, chrome, stainless steel, and ceramic sinks.
Some cleaning enthusiasts recommended using a daily shower spray to keep their shower doors clean.
Jemima Ruchat remarked: “I use a daily shower shine after each use, and it looks great.”
Frances Baker chimed in with her own experience: “That’s what I use all the time, never have a problem. It’s so cheap in Asda, 85p.”
Sophie Robson added her two pence: “Any shower spray does the job, it’s a lifesaver.”
Shower sprays are essential for warding off soap scum, dissolving mildew, and tackling hard water stains.
Experts recommend not only using a spray after every shower but also ensuring the area is disinfected at least once weekly.
