What is the fastest way to clean a dirty shower? (2023)

How do you clean a dirty shower without scrubbing?

Use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide:

So, mix water and hydrogen peroxide in a 2:1 ratio. Now pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray on the shower tiles. Leave it on for 30 minutes and relax. Clean the shower tiles with a small towel or scouring pad and rinse them.

Pour equal parts of vinegar and Dawn into a spray bottle. Gently shake, then spray liberally onto the surface to be cleaned. I have found the best results is when I use it to clean chrome shower and sink fixtures. After spraying on the fixture, rub and wipe it with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching.

The best materials to finish a wall and floor for an easy clean shower are going to have as few gaps and seams as possible, hence large tiles are a clear winner. If you really want to avoid grout, you can also use engineered stone panels, stone slabs or back painted glass to reduce the grout lines.

30 SECONDS® Shower Cleaner is a heavy-duty, low pH cleaner designed to solve specific problems in the shower, tackling soap scum, oils, fats, light limescale and grime.

If you like to linger in the shower for longer than 15 minutes, you might want to rethink your hygiene routine. According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Edidiong Kaminska, MD, the recommended maximum shower time is about 5 to 10 minutes. This is enough time to cleanse and hydrate the skin without overdoing it.

Spritz onto the shower surfaces and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Wipe clean with a microfibre cloth. For stubborn mould, use a toothbrush to scrub the vinegar solution into the grout.

Your cleaning supply list should include antibacterial sprays, disinfectants, glass cleaner, an assortment of microfiber cloths, some non-scratch scrubbers, sponges and a vacuum cleaner. That's right, a vacuum cleaner!

To use this Dawn and vinegar shower cleaner, spray the homemade no scrub cleaner onto the shower walls and tub, as well as any other surfaces you want to clean. Cover the area fully, then allow the homemade shower cleaner to set for 30 minutes. Finally, wipe off with a damp sponge then rinse clean.

With a low-flow showerhead, you can expect to use about two gallons of water each minute, equating to 10 gallons over a 5-minute period. If a standard showerhead is fit, the shower will likely emit around an extra half gallon of water per minute, so a 5-minute shower will use in the region of 12.5 gallons.

Is a 5 minute shower too long?

Dermatologists suggest that the average shower should be between five and 15 minutes, but it depends on what you plan to do in the shower. Shorter, cooler showers are generally better for your skin. Overusing soap or showering in hot water can negatively impact your skin and hair.
