Do you wipe down the shower

[Jodi1980]

after taking a shower? Or do you actually spray it with a cleaner and then wipe?

We squeege our shower when we are done. Seems to keep it pretty clean until my once a week deep cleaning. It only takes a minute or two to do, but I hate it with a passion. I usually try to get in the shower before DH so he has to do it!

My mom always had us do this growing up. Now I don't bother. I just wash the shower walls every month or so.

I could never get it done once a week. I clean the tub part once a week, but the walls don't get dirty. Even when I do wipe them, they aren't dirty.

I guess we don't have a lot of minerals in our water.

No - that's what Basin, Tub & Tile cleaner and Saturdays are for!

I wipe down the shower every morning. Our water supply is spring water and it can leave a lot of spots behind. I have to remind myself that I don't need to do it when I'm staying in a hotel.

I wipe mine down everyday but use the Scrubbing Bubbles by Dow on it every other day. DH squeegies his shower. He used to use one of those spray on & walk away type products but he went back to the squeegie daily & then on weekends he'll scrub his own shower. (We each have our own bathrooms.)

No. I clean the shower once a week

This is really funny. I JUST finished cleaning the tub. I clean it once a week. I hate doing it. I am mad at myself for picking the clear white doors for the shower. You can see every little spot on them. I really am considering going to a shower curtain.

YEA RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I probably sound really dumb posting this but...

I kind of don't understand why you need to clean them. I have never seen mine get dirty. I wipe them down once in a while with bleach just cuz it seems like the right thing to do.

How do they even get dirty? It is not like we touch them or anything. I spray the shower curtain down with bleach once in a great while, but again, it doesn't really get dirty. It usually tears and I get a new one after about a year.

It just seems like when there is so much to clean, that is the last place I would worry about. Nothing really touches it.

I am a pretty good housekeeper too. Am I just being dense?

Because of my height and problems with my shoulders I find it difficult to clean right after a shower so I use a spray but my dh and ds's have to clean after their showers so I get the best of both.

Fresh Tressa, I don't live far from you but our water is world's apart! My shower is stained orangy brown. I've tried just about everything and I tell you it is hard work to keep my shower clean. Before I finally found the right detergent I used to have to run Tang through my dishwasher to remove the stain. Leaving citrus shampoos soaking in my shower is about the only thing that works for it. I try every new citrus cleaning product that comes on the market!

My dh refuses to squeegee so I try to shower last!

 

[FreshTressa]

I think it is because we don't have tile or glass doors. Just a cheap plastic wall. And no mold or water spots either. I guess there is something to be said for cheapness!

I must have the same showers (or water)as Tressa...LOL.. I clean them monthly. Maybe it is the water softener that helps...but they really don't get the film, waterspots and grime people seem to have problems with.

I think I am the only one in our house that sprays and wipes after taking a shower.

I spray a shower cleaner when I think of it after the kids bathe especially.

Fresh Tressa - my 5 yr old could definitely show you how to dirty up a tub After playing outside even with sandals on his feet, his toes get so filthy, he likes to sit with his toes up on the wall near the drain as the water fills and leaves foot and toe prints where the water line is - drives me nuts.
