    I try and follow all the glass cleaning tips and tricks. I squeegee after every shower and always buff it afterwards with a microfiber cloth, however dryer sheets are the ONLY thing that get the glass super clean (the kind of clean where it looks like there is no glass there).

  2. suzanne says:

    hi take the door out side & power spay it if you have one works very good for me

  3. Robert McCabe says:

    I tried many ideas on line including off-the-shelf cleaners, straight vinegar, vinegar and baking soda, etc. By far the easiest, fastest and most effective method; WD-40! Amazing! Spray it on, wait 30 seconds or so and wipe it off with paper towel. Done! My scum was bad too

  4. Jean says:

    Is it safe to use 0000 steel wool on window glasd? I have bad hard water etching.

  5. ann says:

    WD40 works great for this!! Also, you can put some WD40 on the top of your shower curtain pole and the curtain will slide smoothly when opening and closing.

  6. Pam says:

    I know it contains chemicals (as dryer sheets do too) but l used the black bottle of Lysol toilet bowl cleaner to not only clean HARD water sediments in the toilet, but also on glass shower doors. IT WORKS! Just try in a small area, scrub and rinse well.

  7. Karen says:

    Best kept secret of the pro’s; use ONLY #0000 (extra fine) steel wool to remove soap scum from glass shower doors. Use only the finest grade of steel wool, otherwise it could scratch your glass. Take a dry pad of steel wool, and rub in circular motion on dry shower doors to erase soap scum with so little effort. It works the same on shower tiles, too!

    1. selina says:

      Also you can go to any hardware store and buy sandpaper. Yes, I said sandpaper. There are all kinds of things you can clean/scrub with sandpaper. It clearly labels what you can use with it. Its marvelous! It also works well with any hard water deposit’s on any porcelain. Just look for uses with glass, porcelain. You’ll love it! Cleaning company’s use it but they won’t tell you about it. I am an owner of a cleaning business and I often share housecleaning tips with my customers.

    2. Howie says:

      I used #0000 steel wool on my windshield in a circular motion to remove road grim then applied Rainx twice. Wow

  8. Dana says:

    The dryer sheeta worked GREAT on ny shower glass!! I was very skeptical but it worked miracles. I wet a dryer sheet, scrubbed the glass with it, then rinsed off the residue from the dryer sheet. I did use a Scrub Daddy sponge wet with just water to further clean it, wiped the glass with a towel then used glass cleaner.
