I need advice on shower screen cleaning.
We've always had simple tiled cubicles with shower curtains.
Now, we have up-graded to cubicles with sliding shower doors to enclose the cabin - all very modern.
How can I get that pristine, good as new, no mark/streak look when cleaning?
My first attempt was to spray with anti-calc and then get in the shower, close the door and wipe everything with a damp cloth. I waited a while (few minutes) and then wiped again with my damp cloth. It looked OK but when I went back later it wasn't crystal clear and I don't think it would be good enough for guests.
I need advice to get that professional, 'hotel' clean look.
A professional finish on my shower screens
I haven't tried it but apparently dishwasher rinse-aid works well on shower screens to get rid of scum. Or just try white vinegar in water with just a little washing up liquid, wiped off with an e-cloth. Good luck!

For our shower screens, I use a pre-used one of those small sponges with the green scouring pad on the back, a bottle of undiluted white vinegar and plenty of arm exercise. If there's loads of shower soap scum, particularly on the floor adjacent to the shower tray inside the shower screen, I use a kitchen de-greaser!

Sorry, forgot to specify that after the vinegar, I wipe it off with a soft cloth (those old tea towels are very handy). If you leave the vinegar to dry, it will leave "rain spots", just as will water. The reason for using the sponge/scourer combination is so that if the watermark is persistent, the scourer side can be used, and if it's a pre-used sponge, then the scourer is not strong enough to scratch the shower screen.
