  • Mineral deposits often occur when you have a hard water supply. When water dries onto the shower doors, the mineral deposits leave noticeable, cloudy water spots that leave shower doors looking dull and unclean. While the shower doors are not necessarily dirty, it is important to keep these mineral deposits off of the doors, so a clean, flawless shower will be on display.

    Making a Cleaning Solution

    Since a commercial cleaning product can be expensive and chemical based, a homemade solution will be the best alternative. To make the solution, pour 1 tsp. of dish soap into a spray bottle, which will remove soap scum and keep haziness off of the shower doors. Also pour in 1/2 cup of white vinegar, which will dissolve the mineral deposits, along with 2 tsp. of baking soda, which will also break up the mineral deposits. Top off the spray bottle with hot water, which will dissolve and combine the ingredients easily.

    Using the Cleaning Solution

    Spray the solution directly onto the shower doors, and let sit for a few minutes. Wipe the doors with a sponge, and the mineral deposits will easily wipe away from the shower doors. After removing all water spots, dry the shower doors with a towel.

    Preventative Measures

    To prevent mineral deposits from forming in the future, remember to wipe down the shower after each use. When you are short on time, simply dry the shower doors with a clean towel. When possible, spray a mist of the homemade cleaning solution onto the shower doors, then wipe clean. This will take a few minutes of your time, but will be highly effective in preventing mineral deposits from forming on the shower doors.
