Posting to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips page, one woman asked for some help when it came to cleaning her shower screen and doors.

Nicola O’Dwyer wrote: “Any advice on shower screen please? Look terrible after the shower.”

Showers can get dirty very easily due to them being a high traffic area.

They are also a breeding ground for germs and bacteria as well as mould if not cleaned regularly.

However, shower screens are prone to smears due to a condensation build up.

The post was commented on several times from other cleaning fans all sharing their advice.

Jemima Ruchat said: “I use a daily shower shine after each use, and it looks great.”

Frances Baker replied and wrote: “That’s what I use all the time, never have a problem. It’s so cheap in Asda, 85p.”

Sophie Robson said: “Any shower spray does the job, it’s a lifesaver.”

Shower sprays help to prevent soap scum, dissolve mildew as well as hard water stains.

As well as using a spray after every shower, it is also advised to disinfect the area at least once a week.

This can help to prevent bacteria and germs forming.

Margaret Gray said: “Use a squeegee after every shower.”

Lisa Rae wrote: “I second this.”

Squeegee’s can be picked up from supermarkets as well as stores such as B&M, Home Bargains and Pound Stretcher.

They help to remove excess water which will prevent any smears from forming on the glass.

Ali Hinds said: “Washing up liquid and white vinegar in a dish brush once a week and dry it down with a towel after use.”

Patricia Wilson added: “I use the dish brush because it helps to keep my hands dry and works just as good.

“Just make sure to have a separate one for the shower and bathroom.”
